Anger Management and Counseling in Broadview Park, FL.

I don’t believe in Anger Management. Instead, I believe in getting rid of anger (Anger Resolution). Most of us learn how and when to be angry as children and continue to react the same way as adults. I work with you to eliminate anger by lowering reactivity and by helping you to explore new, more personally beneficial ways to respond to potentially rageful situations. No matter how angry you are, if you are coming to see me because you (or a loved one) feel that you need help with anger, I can help you. I am certified in Anger Resolution and I use many different techniques to lower your reactivity and help you eliminate rage--and not one of them includes counting to 10!

Anger is a secondary emotions; as such I believe one needs to become aware of the underline emotions and what is feeding it.

We utilize mindfulness, self-exploration, and self-soothing techniques to help improve clients' emotional regulation skills. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, EMDR or ART, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Existential Therapy are especially helpful for healing trauma and improving interpersonal interactions with others.

The purpose of Anger management is to help individuals find coping skills to decrease their feelings of anger and behaviors expressed through anger. First it is important to explore the root of anger (both internal and external events). Next, it is important to understand what purpose the anger induced behavior serves for the individual. The majority of the time finding an appropriate way to express anger through communication is the key to a decrease in the "angry" symptoms.
