Whatever brings you to treatment, know that you do not have to face it alone. Healing is a process, and I am committed to providing the support, guidance, and encouragement needed to help you move forward with confidence and hope.

Yes, there are therapists who help with anger via Anger management therapy. It’s a therapeutic process that an individual goes through to manage their anger and identify its triggers. They’re given clear instructions on how to improve their angry behavior as well as a safe space for opening up about their emotions.
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. The anger management therapist will provide coping strategies and ultimately help their client take back control of their anger.
The five keys to mastering anger include identifying triggers, pausing before reacting, calmly expressing emotions, discovering constructive outlets for frustration, and seeking professional assistance if necessary. Acquiring these skills through Anger management therapy empowers individuals to effectively manage and navigate their anger.
The best therapy for anger management often involves cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps individuals identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior related to anger.
Anger management therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Often, Anger management therapy lasts between 4-6 weeks. However, it can last longer, dependent on the individual’s needs.
One of the best ways to make anger work for you—rather than against you—is to decide in advance that when you experience anger you will choose to invest the energy from it in a healthy way. The power of anger can block the ability to think clearly. It is important to make a plan for dealing with anger before it happens.
Thousands of people have benefited from anger management therapy at Thriveworks in Tampa, FL. For a decade, the experienced therapists at Thriveworks Tampa Counseling have worked with people with uncontrollable anger to help them recognize its causes, how to respond appropriately to the triggers, and find an anger management plan to enable them to enjoy healthier lives: both mentally and physically.
Feelings of anger are caused by how people interpret and react to situations. Everyone has their own triggers that make them angry. Some common triggers are:
When anger is not managed effectively, people can suffer both mentally and physically. The emotion of anger causes the body to release adrenaline and cortisol—two hormones that are released when people are stressed. The body experiences many reactions when these hormones are released, from increased blood pressure and breathing rate to a rise in pulse and body temperature.
People who get angry often and don’t manage it effectively can suffer from many illnesses. Some of the health problems that may result when a person is regularly angry are:
