Anger Management and Counselling in Etobicoke, ON.

Anger, while a typical human emotion, can rapidly escalate into a problem when not under control. Therapy can assist you in regulating your emotions and actions, as well as in developing coping mechanisms to assist you in managing situations that trigger your rage. You can learn to settle disagreements more constructively and repair relationships damaged by anger by looking at the thoughts that cause them. You can learn relaxation techniques to assist you in calming down and relaxing your body and mind.

I tailor anger management treatment to the unique needs and life situation of each client. What distinguishes my approach is that I do not simply counsel people on how to act, nor do I gloss over the real source of the problem. This would be akin to putting a band-aid over a gaping wound. I know that the only way to effectively make a permanent and recognizable change is to address the root cause of what is fueling a person's rage, explosiveness, and destructive behaviour. I treat people with sensitivity and compassion surrounding their emotional vulnerabilities and difficulties that cause their disruptive affect, which negatively impacts their lives and work collaboratively.

Nobody wants to be angry and upset themselves or others. Anger is sometimes about current issues that need to be resolved through a good action plan. Other times it is due to deeper issues that need to be worked through. Anger is often a symptom of previous upsets or issues in our lives that caused us pain in some way. We will process those upsets through discussion and unique exercises created for you as homework or to be completed in session until they are worked through.

Anger is often thought of as a negative emotion, but I like to think of Anger as the part of you that loves you and wants to stand up for you when you’ve experienced something “unfair.” Anger does not always make the best decisions about when to stand up for you, so I work collaboratively with clients to identify and explore how anger shows up in their lives, and to strengthen and develop strategies to minimize the impact it has on living the life you want to live. Book a free consultation to learn more about my approach and explore if we are a good fit.

Anger management is about anger understanding first. Why are we angry? I will help clients' seeking assistance with anger by creating a safe space to explore the anger, to process it, and understand it. We can't seek to manage it if we don't understand what is really happening for us. Through pattern exploration of experiences with anger, we can process and navigate the emotion and work together to manage it.

I’ve been helping people lead more intentional lives for over 20 years. I will help you think before you speak, take time to calm down, use humor to lessen your anxiety, and many more tools to get you to reach your full potential. I’m trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, developmental models,and anxiety and depression management. Most importantly, my aim is to focus on you as a distinctive person, with distinctive needs. My goal is to work with you as a unique individual, and focus on YOUR goals.

If you struggle with managing anger, you may also be struggling with other issues as well. Anger is the response that others see to the hurt, pain and frustration underneath that is wreaking havoc in both your physical and emotional worlds. The most effective way that we can manage anger is to begin to understand it, and address these underlying problems. Anger does not allow for us to live the way that we want to; it takes over the moment that we become triggered. We can regain control of our reactions once we deal with those underlying issues. Together we will take a nonjudgmental approach in exploring how anger has impacted you, and the behaviours that you want to move towards.

We will all experience anger at times. Anger it is a perfectly healty emotion - it is how we deal with it that counts. For some of us anger can turn into a rage or aggression, for others can be more inward directed. Under the influence of anger we can end up behaving in ways that create great difficulties in our relationships and life in general. It can lead to broken connections, difficulty at work, road rage or even conflict with the law. Together we will explore your angry habits, replace angry reactions into assertive responses, help gain control of your emotions, and improve relationships. >COURT MANDATED ANGER MANAGEMENT TREATMENT AVAILABLE<

Anger can arise from a number of variables. Working together, we will understand your window of tolerance, what coping techniques you are currently using and how we can bring changes. Some techniques used for this are CBT, SFBT, and somatic approaches. My clients have shared that they started noticing improvements in 5-6 weeks and leave the sessions feeling motivated.

Rather than simply providing skills, I help clients deepen their understanding of their anger and explore it's source. By utilizing parts work (Internal Family Systems approach) and mindfulness strategies from a trauma-focused lens, I help clients build a better relationship with their anger. I will strive to create a safe and non-judgemental space, where clients can safely explore their expressions of anger.

Anger is a major problem in many people's lives. Psychotherapy teaches clients to effectively manage their anger. When we are angry, we are often masking an emotion that is even more painful to feel. Whether it is sadness, embarrassment, guilt, shame, or disappointment, it can be very uncomfortable to experience. Anger hides these feelings but it can create more problems. Together, using cognitive behavioural therapy I teach my clients how to manage their feelings of anger, to identify their primary emotion, and to use healthy coping strategies in their day-to-day life.

Have you ever felt like you needed to hold a piece of yourself back, fearing that people won't accept you? Do you feel you can’t be your true and authentic self around others? Are you constantly saying yes to things you want to say no to? Wouldn’t you rather feel like you’re in control? Others are more worried about how you act when you're angry than about why you're angry.

Sometimes we hurt or harm others with our words and our actions. I recognize what it takes to speak up about these experiences, and I listen in compassionate ways that help you become more of who you want to be. There is very little you can say that will shock me or that I will judge. My aim is to help you have the kinds of caring and respectful relationships you want to have, and to be the kind of person you want to be.
