Anger management refers to a set of skills used to handle and express anger in healthy ways. Anger is a natural emotion, and when managed well, it can even be healthy and productive. But when anger escalates to the point that it causes harm to yourself and others, it’s time to make some changes.

Anger management counseling

Anger management therapy helps a person gain insight into what triggers their anger as well as identify their anger responses. Using certain exercises, the person develops skills that help them manage their anger in healthy and productive ways.

Our Psychotherapists use three basic strategies in anger management treatment:

• Relaxation: Learning to calm the body

• Cognitive therapy: Learning healthy thinking patterns

• Skill development: Learning new behaviors
