Anger Management and Counseling in Black Forest, CO.

Anger is often viewed as "bad" or negative. In an attempt to hide or bury anger, people often develop unhealthy ways of attempting to manage this emotion. When internalized, anger grows and metastasizes into resentment, hatred, bitterness, resulting in depression and a sense of hopelessness. When externalized in a destructive manner, anger can be expressed as abuse, toward self or others. The purpose of anger management is not to deny or suppress anger, as it is a natural part of the human experience. Please allow me to help you navigate toward identifying and expressing anger in a healthy, productive, non-destructive manner.

Is your child aged 4 - 16 demonstrating difficulty with anger? Do they get mad without warning? Is this impacting you at home or their school performance?

Anger is normal, but understanding why we get angry and what we can do when we do is important to be able to work through situations where we are angry.
