Anger Management Therapist counseling in Santa Cruz, CA

Where anger is an issue, clients typically engage in a weekly session to help them recognize the signs of anger and escalation of negative behavior. Many things can trigger anger, including stress, family problems, and financial issues.

Anger becomes an issue when you are no longer able to control it, thereby causing you to say or do things that you regret after the fact.

Anger may be caused by trauma and may also be a result of anxiety or depression, or addiction.

The goal we hope to achieve with our anger management therapy is to learn how to self-regulate (decrease anxiety) and deal with the situation through positive coping skills and cognitive behavioral therapy.

How anger management can help you

The true essence of anger management lies in understanding the underlying message that anger conveys and expressing it in a healthy, controlled manner without losing composure. Rather than suppressing or denying these powerful emotions, the goal is to develop the ability to acknowledge and communicate them constructively.

By embracing this mindset, individuals can unlock a path to greater emotional well-being and stronger interpersonal connections. When anger is expressed in a healthy, non-violent way, it becomes a powerful tool for addressing unmet needs and resolving conflicts more effectively.
