Raising healthy and happy children with ADHD can be a big job, but the good news is that you do not have to do it alone. There is a lot that can be done to help! ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that impacts each child differently. ADHD has little to do with how "smart" your child might be, but it has a lot to do with your child's ability to regulate their attention, mood, and behaviors. When symptoms of ADHD lead to lower self-esteem, mental health concerns, behavioral challenges, or academic struggles, it is a good time to seek professional help.

Kids learn through play. I have seen the value of play as it supports and helps a child grow and learn. Whether I am participating in imaginary play with your child or involving your teen in a favorite card game, I believe kids and adolescents can better process difficult emotions in an atmosphere of therapeutic connection and play. I am committed to supporting my clients in therapy while also assisting the parent/guardian. I am a firm believer that parents/guardians are co-regulators for their child’s emotions.

I specialize in helping adult men with trauma and PTSD overcome patterns that keep them feeling stuck so they can experience greater satisfaction in their lives and relationships. Trauma affects everyone differently, but social stigma and expectations for men to be unemotional and strong often lead to feelings of weakness that prevent men from seeking help when needed. Men sometimes externalize symptoms with substance use, anger, relationship conflict, social isolation, and workaholism. My goal is creating a safe space for you to address these patterns and move toward a greater sense of control, connectedness, and wellbeing.

Anger Management Therapists

How long does therapy take for anger management?

Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.

How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?

Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.

Is there medication for anger management?

Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.

What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
