Anger management counseling can help to identify stressors and learn the steps to stay calm in the face of anger.

Anger is a common and useful emotional reaction. However, there are times when anger is excessive or extreme and controls a person to the point that it is hurtful to them, their life, and their loved ones. I work with clients to understand their experience of anger, learn to identify potential triggers and underlying issues, and develop coping skills to manage these issues and emotions. Clients will learn relaxation or calming strategies, how to communicate to reduce angry outbursts, problem solving skills, and how to alter negative thinking which may be contributing to the anger. This often results in clients feeling happier, more relaxed, and having improved relationships.

Anger Solutions is a different type of Anger Management which has been proven successful. Ray has been trained in this modality and have found it successful with adults who are motivated to be in charge of their emotions instead of their emotions take charge of them. Ray follows the Anger Solutions workbook written by Julie A. Christiansen who is the creater of this program. By the end of this program clients will be able to recognize their anger triggers, those of others and be able to take charge of their anger.
