Navigate your Anger with expert care:
Anger is a natural emotion, but when it becomes overwhelming or destructive, it can damage relationships, careers, and your overall quality of life. Our anger management therapy helps you understand the root causes of your anger, recognize early warning signs, and develop healthy coping mechanisms to respond constructively rather than reactively.
Through evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques, our therapists work with you to identify triggers, challenge distorted thinking patterns, and build emotional regulation skills. You’ll learn practical strategies to pause before reacting, communicate assertively without aggression, and resolve conflicts effectively.
YOU MAY BE EXPERIENCING THESE CHALLENGES & MORE
Whether you’re dealing with explosive outbursts, chronic irritability, or suppressed anger that manifests in other ways, therapy provides a safe space to explore underlying issues such as stress, trauma, or unmet needs. Our goal is to help you transform anger into a manageable emotion that serves you rather than controls you, leading to healthier relationships and greater peace of mind.

Find your Anger Score
Anger Test
The Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BAQ), often referred to in the context of an “Anger Score,” is a widely used psychological tool designed to assess various aspects of aggression and anger in individuals. It was developed by Arnold H. Buss and Mark Perry in 1992 and is considered a reliable and valid measure to study aggressive behaviors and traits.
Frequently asked questions about Anger
What are the most effective techniques for managing anger in the moment?
The most effective immediate techniques include deep breathing exercises (inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4, exhale for 6), taking a timeout to physically remove yourself from the triggering situation, and using grounding techniques like the 5-4-3-2-1 method (identifying 5 things you see, 4 you can touch, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, 1 you taste). Progressive muscle relaxation, where you tense and release different muscle groups, can also help release physical tension associated with anger.
How long does it typically take to see improvement in anger management?
Most people begin noticing improvements within 4-8 weeks of consistently practicing anger management techniques. However, this varies based on individual circumstances, the severity of anger issues, and commitment to implementing strategies. Significant, lasting change typically takes 3-6 months of regular practice. Working with a therapist can accelerate progress, as they can provide personalized strategies and help identify underlying triggers.
Can anger management techniques work without therapy or medication?
Yes, many people successfully manage anger through self-help strategies including regular exercise, mindfulness meditation, journaling, cognitive restructuring (challenging negative thought patterns), and learning healthy communication skills. However, if anger is significantly impacting your relationships, work, or daily life, or if it’s accompanied by depression, anxiety, or trauma, professional help is recommended. Therapy provides structured support and addresses root causes that self-help alone may not reach.
What's the difference between healthy anger and problematic anger?
Healthy anger is proportional to the situation, expressed constructively, and doesn’t harm relationships or lead to regrettable actions. It motivates positive change and boundary-setting. Problematic anger is frequent, intense, prolonged, explosive or suppressed to unhealthy extremes, damages relationships, leads to aggressive behavior, and interferes with daily functioning. If you’re experiencing physical symptoms (headaches, high blood pressure), relationship problems, or legal/work consequences due to anger, it’s considered problematic and worth addressing.
