Anger Management and Counselling in Oak Ridges, ON.

I offer compassionate, evidence-based support for managing anger in healthy, constructive ways. Using therapies like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness, I help you understand the root causes of your anger and develop practical skills to regulate intense emotions. Together, we create a safe space to explore triggers, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build healthier communication and coping strategies. My goal is to empower you to express anger effectively, reduce conflict, and foster greater emotional balance and well-being in your relationships and daily life.

Anger can be a difficult emotion for many of us to deal with. It is important to understand that it is not wrong to feel anger and in fact, anger can be a very healthy emotion. In therapy, we work together to first understand the source of your anger and why it shows up in possibly triggering ways. We can then work to find healthier ways to express anger and build better relationships. I also would like to empower you to feel better about your anger by not having to feel guilty about it.

Anger is a valid emotion. Anger is activating and can be your biggest advocate. Anger, however, can be scary when it has more control over us than we have over it.

You will learn both mind and body skills to cultivate control and choice. Let me help you help yourself.

Anger has a lot to do with repressed fear. If we don't allow fear to be released we tend to take our anger out on the people closest to us. Certain situations will trigger us if we don't know how to control our anger if we aren't dealing with underlying issues. Often if we are not consciously working on dealing with managing our anger it doesn't just go away by itself. Simply having someone to talk to and listen to us helps alleviate a lot of our understanding about why we are angry. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a very beneficial modality to consciously put anger in check. Having a safe environment to share your thoughts and let go of your feelings is another way to release anger.

Anger comes from a core that may be expressed in an entirely different situation with an angry reaction. Trish Joyes' approach is to work with clients in self-awareness and figure out what strategies uniquely assist the client. In doing so, clients will benefit from a more positive lifestyle and better communications skills in their relationships.

Where is your anger really coming from? Where do you feel it in your body? What sort of rage takes you over and renders you completely out of control? Anger is a complex emotion that is often misunderstood. It is actually a result of profound sadness transformed into a physical and often violent outburst. Working with anger is not just about coping with the events that bring about the response, but digging deep into the cause of the sadness and resultant anger and rushes out of you often unexpectedly. Let's work together to solve this mystery—with the dual goal to lessen the symptoms as well as to find the deeper cause.

Anger is part of life but sometimes what we do in anger can create problems for us personally and can create trouble in our relationships. By thoroughly examining the reasons for the anger and how it impacts our physical being, we will be able to spot it when it's on the rise and nip it in the bud. Furthermore, our work together will look at what's under the anger: Lack of justice? Emotional pain? How does knowing the root of the anger impact the anger itself? these are the questions we will tackle as we tackle the feeling of anger.

Anger is a common, I'd say necessary function, for it helps us right wrongs, & protect ourselves and others. Like the saying goes, "Good fences make good neighbours", and anger is the energy to make such fences. Sometimes though, anger can seem out of control, or inapropriate. I help you to understand your anger, and to use it constructively for bettering your life, and the lives of others.

DBT can be a game changer for clients wanting to regulate difficult emotions. A comprehensive and integrated model that uses skills training techniques to support individuals in achieving emotion regulation, stress tolerance, achieving mindful practices and improving interpersonal relationships. DBT has initially been proven in the treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), clients at risk of suicidality, and para-suicide behaviours. However, this treatment can also help clients with anxiety, depression, and other presentations that formed roots from invalidating environments.

Anger can destroy lives, families and relationships. I, as a professional, work on the idea of “he who angers you controls you”. Through a proven user friendly anger management process which incorporates many internal reflections, the client can begin to build more control over his/her emotions as a result more capable of handling difficult situations. Over time, through using these new skills, the client develops more confidence and assurance that he/she can deal with life’s challenges in a more calm and reasonable manner. Clients will also be provided with life long strategies and coping methods.
