Valiant Minds Counseling, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, ADHD-CCSP, CCATP
As humans we are built with very specific defense mechanisms when faced with perceived threats to our well being. These mechanisms and/or responses are called fight, flight, or freeze. I believe that when faced with stress or an anxiety provoking situation, we can struggle to manage our anger appropriately. At Valiant Minds Counseling, I teach skills and techniques to help redirect anger to healthier outlets. Additionally, we will learn to explore how our negative thinking patterns affect our feelings of anger and learn alternative ways of thinking about a problem.
Philadelphia Art Therapy Associates
Art Therapist, MA, ATR-BC, LPC
It's natural to feel anger and even rage! When we lose control of it, there can be devastating impacts on relationships and careers, not to mention your own health and safety. There are many reasons why you may grapple with temper, not the least of which are your family of origin, your wiring, or present day triggers like depression, loss, or stress. For the client who is motivated to change your anger dynamic, our approach can be a powerful process. First, we explore with you the origins of your irritability. We identify your common patterns and predictable reaction-triggers. Once that mutual understanding is established, we utilize CBT coping skills instruction to develop new resilient ways of looking at triggers, and positive replacement actions you can do to manage strong feelings. Our therapists have been doing anger work for decades, and have a framework that has helped 4-84 year-olds! Give us a call!

Anger itself is not inherently a destructive force. If understood and accepted, people can work through their discontent in ways that help them feel appreciated even when upset.
