Anger Management and Counseling in Vestal, NY.

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.

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.

Feeling like you fly off the handle easily? Need a court ordered anger management class? My practice can help. I have an evidence based 10-12 session curriculum for the treatment of anger management. It teaches coping skills, emotional regulation, and deescalation techniques. When this is partnered with some Counseling around triggers for anger it has shown great results!

Having anger is not a problem. The problem is how one deals with the feeling of anger. What does one do when one is angry? Is the anger realistic or is it not? What are the events associated with the anger? One can learn to manage one's anger effectively through the use of effective anger management skills. Is one angry because one has communication problems and cannot express oneself assertively? Is one angry because of persistent unfairness that one has experienced? Come and let us explore the source of your anger and help you manage it effectively.

Most people with anger control problems hate themselves for it. They often promise themselves to do better but then feel like situations get the better of them. They often feel misunderstood, under appreciated and somewhat disconnected from the relationships that matter the most to them. There are so many different causes for this. That is why the first step is to do a caring and thorough evaluation. In any treatment worth it's salt, a person first feels understood. Much of the time I find that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), together with interventions from positive psychology, can significantly help people to act with intention, which can often feel like being reborn.
