Starting Anger management therapy

Can you get a therapist for anger issues?

Once an individual’s triggers are identified, anger management therapy focuses on helping the individual process and respond to these emotions in a more positive and productive manner.

Acquiring these skills through Anger management therapy empowers individuals to effectively manage and navigate their anger.
