Signs that anger is becoming a problem
Anger is a normal emotion, but it may be time to get help if:
- You regret what you say or do when you are angry
- Loved ones are pulling away or are afraid of your reactions
- Anger is affecting your job or has led to legal trouble
- You feel tense or irritable most of the time
- Small things set you off, and calming down takes a long time
How anger management works here
1. Assessment. We start with an initial anger management assessment to understand your history, your triggers and your goals. The assessment determines which program fits you best.
2. A program matched to you. We offer individual counseling, group classes, a one-day class and programs that run 6 to 12 weeks. If your assessment shows you need more than anger management, higher level treatment is available.
3. Skills you can use. Counseling focuses on recognizing early warning signs, slowing down your response, communicating needs without escalating, and handling the stress that fuels anger.
Anger and the rest of your life
Anger is often connected to other things: stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use or relationship conflict. If any of these are part of the picture, your therapist can address them as part of your plan, and you can also look at our anxiety, depression, EMDR and couples counseling services.
