Anger Management and Counseling in Manteca, CA.

Anger management is more like, managing our feelings and thoughts productively in order to make effective behavioral choices. In therapy, I help people recognize a pattern of behaviors, like getting stuck on a rail road track. Once on it, they can't get off until they have exploded in some since of the word. My therapy provides steps to take where each person has available choices and responsibility for those choices once taken. I provide encouragement and support, the individual provides their strengths. Initially, working together, managing feelings and thoughts, then making effective choices becomes easier until I am no longer part of the process, and the person is no longer stuck.

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.

I provide individual psychotherapy for anger management. Anger is normal emotion that everyone experiences. It becomes a problem when one expresses anger inappropriately or one lacks the proficiency to express any emotions but anger. I use Humanistic and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to help my clients understand their anger, improve their emotional experience, and express their emotions in healthy ways. A healthy emotional life is the cornerstone of living a full and successful life.

Seeking support and guidance can help enhance your relationships with family members, co-workers, and others in your life. Anger is a normal human emotion, however, experiencing constant anger and/or aggression can damage your health and lead to conflictual relationships. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and comfortable environment in which we can work to find strategies and solutions to decrease anger outbursts, irritability, and aggression. Please call today for a free consultation so that we could explore our options.

Clients from various backgrounds take many different approaches to think about, feel and express anger. However, when anger negatively impacts one’s relationships, it is important to explore what is contributing to an unhealthy experience of anger. In my collaboration with clients, we venture out to explore the conscious and unconscious factors that may need to be brought to light, in the context of perhaps other biopsychosocial (biological, psychological or social) factors that may need attention. Clients who learn to understand, better identify and manage their impulses, cultivate insight and explore opportunities to practice developing skills to have an improved sense of self-mastery.
