Anger Management Individual Counseling 
16 week Curriculum

I have taught anger management for 12 years. I use a 16 week curriculum and use education and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to help my clients gain insight and learn new behaviors. The causes of having a "temper" or being "reactive" can come from several sources. Sometimes this is learned behavior. Often, we learn to communicate and react to situations much like our parents. Other individuals just don't have the communcation skills or know other alternatives to communicate what they feel and want in effective ways. In some cases my clients are suffering from depression, anxiety, manic-depression (also know as Bi-Polar Disorder) or other mental health issues that may have gone undiagnosed. All of these symptoms can be treated. You can learn to be in control of yourself and become more tolerant of others. I offer individual anger managment counseling.
