“Therapy is conversation. It is talk with a purpose. Your goal may be to repair a failing marriage. Or gain control of a destructive temper. Your goal may be to heal the wounds of emotional or sexual abuse. Or rebuild your life after a painful divorce or devastating loss. Whatever your goal may be---whether it's to find solutions to help you cope or to resolve longstanding patterns of emotional distress---you now realize that you can't do this alone. You need someone to help you, someone whose skill and experience you can count on.
If so, then take a moment to talk with me. We'll know quickly if we can talk in a productive, comfortable way. If we can, then we'll arrange to keep talking as long as our conversations produce the changes you seek.
And over time, as life carries you forward, the day will come when you'll no longer need therapy. For your conversations with those you love...will be what helps you to carry on.”

"Using Anger Well" is an anger therapy group. It is for men and women troubled by frequent losses-of control or by corrosive, unexpressed anger. Concerned about the damaging consequences of their explosive or inhibited anger, group members focus on the constructive handling of chronic negativity and conflict. They explore how anger functions in their lives and seek better solutions to the problems that anger presents. If people say you're an angry person, or that they're afraid of you. Or if you worry that you may lose your job, family or friends...then this group is for you.
