Anger Management and Counselling in Spruce Grove, AB.

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.

It often feels like Anger arises without warning. Before we know it, we are in the midst of an angry outburst. It doesn't need to be this way! At Menla Psychological Counselling you will learn ways to regain control of your anger, rather than having it control you. The goal of anger management isn't to get rid of anger, it is a valid emotion after all, but rather to stop anger from causing chaos and pain in your life.

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.

When we can learn to investigate anger, build acceptance and tolerance for uncomfortable feelings, and find ways to soothe ourselves, we can manage anger in ways that are supportive of our relationships and supportive of ourselves. Learning anger management can involve building skills in multiple areas including communication, needs identification, distress tolerance, and/or emotional regulation.

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 management aims to assist individuals manage and express anger in a more acceptable way. This is done in several ways including identifying the triggers, examining the underlying causes, establishing coping strategies, restructuring thought processes, as well as introducing relaxation techniques. These parts of therapy can also be used alongside cognitive behavioural therapy.

Anger isn't just a feeling, but it involves the way we think and how our body responds. You will learn more about what situations and thoughts activate anger, what other emotions may be involved when you feel angry, and working with calming your body when anger is activated. You can expect to feel more aware of and in control of your anger even after a few sessions together. Going even deeper, we can explore more about the key experiences that activate your anger and learn to heal from old hurt that continues flaring up as anger in the here and now.
