Anger is a symptom and a representation that there is something wrong. This may be a result of the past or and injustice that needs to be acknowledged and worked through. Coping strategies are the first line of defense, as well as becoming more aware.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Tamara Thom MS, LCMHC, LCAS
In working with individuals on Anger, Cognitive restructuring begins as an error-finding mission, where clients are supported to recognize dysfunctional or biased beliefs and thinking processes that lead to anger, such as overly personalizing comments from others or unhelpful beliefs such as “people never listen to me.”
Clients are then supported to develop alternative thinking processes that are more helpful, rational, and aligned with reality (Deffenbacher et al., 2002).

Allison Freeman
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHCA
My therapeutic approach here delves into the roots of anger, aiming to understand the underlying factors that contribute to intense emotional reactions. I prioritize creating a supportive and non-judgmental space where clients can explore the origins of their anger, recognizing that it often goes beyond surface-level triggers.
In our sessions, we work together to identify patterns, triggers, and past experiences that may be influencing the intensity of anger responses. By gaining insight into the deeper emotions and unmet needs associated with anger, we lay the groundwork for developing more adaptive and constructive responses.
My focus is on empowering clients to respond differently to anger by enhancing emotional regulation skills and building a repertoire of coping mechanisms. We explore strategies to communicate effectively, set boundaries, and address the root causes of anger, fostering personal growth and emotional resilience.
Through this deeper exploration, clients not only learn to manage anger more effectively but also gain tools to decrease the intensity of the emotion. The goal is to promote lasting change, allowing individuals to navigate stressful/triggering situations with greater emotional intelligence and respond in ways that contribute to their overall well-being.
