Anger Management and Counseling in Battle Ground, IN.

We use a Dialectical Behavioral approach to therapy in treating anger and other strong emotions. Anger often comes as a result of feeling invalidated. People often struggle with feelings of anger after being misunderstood or dismissed. Our therapist can teach you skills to manage your emotions and behaviors. We offer E-services to Minnesota and Indiana; and in-office services to the Hinckley, MN and Dultuh, MN areas.

Anger can be a frustrating emotion. At times it can feel so powerful that we believe we have little ability to control it. Anger, however, is not just a frustrating and powerful emotion...it is an energy, that when properly directed, can help us achieve great things. Without proper direction, anger can become destructive, especially if we choose to direct that energy toward another individual. The ability to manage strong emotions is a skill that can be learned and used to facilitate better interpersonal interactions. If you are having trouble managing strong emotions such as anger, we can help you learn to better manage, direct and regulate your emotional energies.

Anger can destroy relationships, cause problems at work, and teach your children to also be angry. I have an evidenced based anger management program to help you learn how to control your anger, as well as find its root cause. Anger is never the primary feeling. The anger management program helps the client to discover the true feelings that are causing the anger. Once the true feelings are addressed, then I am able to help the client find ways to more appropriately express these feelings.

Anger is a symptom of a deeper issue that has not been identified or resolved.. Counseling can provide a safe place to uncover unresolved hurts and pain and gain insight to the anger. Anger management helps clients understand unhealthy boundriex versus healthy boundaries and the reason boundaries are crossed. Counseling allows clients to gain knowledge and tools that can foster self-control, self-worth, and self/esteem.
