Anger Management and Counseling in York, SC.

Dr. Mary Cumming addresses trauma through a trauma-informed, Christian-integrated approach combining CBT, IFS elements, and relational therapy. She creates a safe space to process abuse, loss, or adverse experiences while drawing on scripture for identity and restoration. Clients benefit from symptom reduction, emotional regulation, shame release, rebuilt trust, and profound healing that fosters resilience, freedom, and a renewed sense of God's redemptive love.

Anger often signals that something important is happening beneath the surface—such as unmet needs, stress, or feeling overwhelmed. In our work together, we look beyond simply controlling anger and instead focus on understanding what your emotions are trying to communicate. By exploring patterns in thoughts, reactions, and physical responses, clients gain insight into the triggers that lead to anger. I incorporate mind-body awareness and practical strategies to help regulate the nervous system and respond more thoughtfully in difficult moments. As clients build these skills, they often experience improved self-control, clearer communication, and healthier, more balanced relationships.

You let most things go. Little frustrations throughout the day, an insulting comment, an inconsiderate gesture. You chose to avoid conflict, if possible, but every so often, you boil over and say or do something that you regret. In my experience those with difficulties controlling their anger aren't actually angrier than the average person, they just have a hard time communicating or picking their battles. I've helped many people break this cycle of conflict avoidance leading to the inevitable blow up. Together we will find a better way.
