Anger Management and Counselling in Discovery Ridge, Calgary, AB.

With extensive experience in anger management, I provide evidence-based therapy exclusively via secure online sessions. Together, we explore triggers, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop healthier ways to respond to challenging situations. By applying EMDR, DBT, and emotion-centered strategies, I help you create tools that decrease impulsive reactions and support stronger, more connected relationships—all through a virtual platform that mirrors the benefits of face-to-face therapy.

Can my anger outbursts be treated with medication? The question should probably not be if it can be treated, but whether it should be treated with medication. Sometimes the anger is a symptom of a disorder, and the disorder needs to be treated. Highly driven men and women sometimes ‘act out’ their depression and have anger outbursts; clearly, they do not need anger management; they need medication for their depression. The elderly may also have anger outburst that are a symptom of a disorder, and then a pharmacological intervention is justified. Let Dr. Mervin (Paraklesis Counselling) come alongside you to help you with anger management and to discern whether pharmacotherapy is appropriate.

We feel anger because we feel that something is not fair, something is not working out the way we thought it should, our boundaries have been crossed, or we feel we have been treated badly, or missed out. Anger can be frustrating if you don't know how to address the underlying issue. I specialize in helping those whose anger is related to social anxiety, isolation, bullying, harassment or lack of important social skills.

Frustration and anger can be especially confusing when they seem to surface "out of nowhere" or feel disproportionate to the moment. For some adults, this pattern traces back to undiagnosed ADHD, autism, or executive functioning difficulties that make emotional regulation genuinely harder, not a matter of willpower. I'm a Registered Psychologist at Solasta Counselling in Calgary, and I conduct comprehensive assessments that can identify these underlying contributors, helping clients move from self-blame toward a clearer, more compassionate understanding of how their brain works. That clarity often becomes the starting point for real change, through therapy, coaching, or strategies suited to how someone actually thinks.

Anger is a normal healthy human emotion. When people allow it to get out of control it can turn destructive, it can lead to problems at work, personal relationships, and the overall quality of life. I like to think of anger using the metaphore of a hammer. You can do a lot of things with a hammer. You can build things and you can tear things apart. The hammer is just a tool just like anger can be a tool. Anger isn't the problem, it's what you do with it. I help people learn the skills they need to use their anger and the underlying hurt and feelings of injustice to make positive choices that lead to positive relationships and experiences.

Healthy, adaptive anger establishes safe boundaries and prevents one from being violated. Unhealthy, maladaptive anger is an unregulated emotion that can lead to rage and potentially sever your connection with others. During our counselling sessions you will learn the differences between adaptive and maladaptive anger and will engage in skill-building practices that both keep you safe as well as connected in your relationships.

Parents will learn how to manage their child's anger in a productive way and learn strategies to facilitate healthy emotional development in their children. Anger management for adults focuses on expressing their anger in a healthy manner, rather than just learning to control their anger. As with all counseling at Keystone Child and Family Therapy, an emphasis is placed on developing close, enjoyable, and connected family relationships.

Anger can be an interesting reaction because often times there are other emotions lingering just under the surface. By learning to identify and express other emotions, as well as working on building a skill set to counteract impulsivity, healthy coping mechanisms can be put in the place of bad habits, giving clients a chance to observe how they have more control than they ever thought possible.

In anger management counseling, we provide a non-judgmental space to understand the triggers and patterns behind reactive responses.

Clients benefit from learning how to pause before reacting, express themselves more effectively, and reduce conflict in their relationships, leading to greater self-control, confidence, and stability in both personal and professional settings.

I have had extensive training and experience in working with both anger management and domestic violence issues. I have a fundamental understanding of using cognitive behavior therapy, rational emotive therapy and Duluth model fundamentals for working with power and control issues or anger management. I have also had extensive experience in running groups, assessing anger related issues and working through the underlying issues which lead to problematic anger. EMDR has also been found to be effectively useful for working with unresolved emotional issues leading to anger problems.

The goal is to handle tense situations in more constructive and positive ways by reducing the emotional and physical arousal that anger can cause. It will provide the tools to take back your life and resolve the triggers that result in unplanned anger reactions.

Anger often stems from feeling so many emotions all at once. You lose a sense of control. You go from 0 to 100 in a blink of an eye.

I’ll help you learn how to regain control, in a healthy way.

Anger is a normal human emotion that can assist us in protecting ourselves and creating boundaries with others. When misused, however, it can also be dstructive and alienating.

The aim of therapy together is to regain control over one's anger in order to choose when, how, and with whom to be appropriately angry.

Anger gets a bad wrap, but it's actually an important and vital emotion. It is a signal, a protector, it has roots. Anger often shows up as loud, messy or explosive. Underneath is usually pain, fear, powerlessness, betrayal or unmet needs that never had a soft place to exist. We don't suppress anger, we get curious about it. Let's unpack, understand and learn to work with it not against it.. Together.

Anger is a valid emotion, but expressing it can lead to less than helpful consequences. Choosing different behaviors can have tremendous benefits.

This might even help your relationships. Why don't you contact me and start today?

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of anger management in a very humane yet fresh perspective. You see, anger is a normal emotion but it is the valence (intensity) as well as the coupling choice of what one does with this that is the problem. Telling someone to "not" do it or modifying behavior with a trite psychological plan that only breeds a compliant response is not the way to change anger. Brainwave optimization is a new cutting edge technology that allows one to rewire circuitry responsible for reactivity driving the anger.

Anger can be a healthy response to negative treatment or events. We’ve all gotten angry and it can help to communicate to others that we’re not okay with something. In fact, not having the ability to feel anger is a whole other issue. However, for some people, uncontrollable, overly frequent or inappropriate expressions of anger can damage relationships, career success or more. Shift Psychological can help the anger management process by identifying and treating the origins of the anger – the messages about self and the world that cause it. Then, using our unique approach we remove them. This results in an absence of reaction and an appropriate level of calm.
