Hi! My name is Michelle Flood and I am a multicredentialed, multi-degreed, and multi-disciplined mental health professional with 25 years in the healthcare field. I have a Bachelor of Philosophy in Interdisciplinary Studies from Miami University, a Master of Science in Art Therapy from Florida State University, and a Master of Business and Administration from Savannah State University. Although I have worked with clients of all ages, my specialty ages that I serve are the children/adolescent and geriatric populations. These populations often struggle expressing their feelings and it is my pleasure to assist!
As a therapist who has also been a client, I know the thought of trying therapy can be anxiety-provoking and stress-inducing, especially for my aforementioned specialty populations. Because of that, I specialize in making my clients feel comfortable with the therapy process so it feels like a safe space to express themselves without judgment.
Life can be so tough sometimes, making it difficult for us to engage in self-care. However, it can be so much easier to manage with a therapist's help. Being a therapy client myself has helped me so much throughout my life and I enjoy paying it forward. I would love the opportunity to work with you and assist with your self-care journey!

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.
Sam has had enough with today. He woke up late despite setting two different alarms. Traffic was awful, and more than one person cut him off. He responded to each with a few angry punches on his horn. Now he’s sprinting into work, juggling a coffee and papers for his meeting. He’s hoping to make a pitstop at his desk before heading to the meeting, but as he nears his goal, his cubicle neighbors step out, right into Sam and his hot coffee. Coffee spills everywhere, including on his papers for his meeting. Red blurs his vision. That was the last straw. He throws his papers on the ground, and when he opens his mouth to rebuke his coworker, it comes out as a yell.
***
Sam’s morning was obviously very frustrating. Being a little grumpy is entirely understandable! But what Sam experienced was more than just a little frustration. Anger can escalate quickly, and when it does, it can have widespread effects. It’s not easy controlling anger, especially when it feels so good to give into the heated demands. With the right support though, it is possible.
Thriveworks Anger Management Woodstock understands the temporary freedom of responding to frustrating events with fire. It can feel even better to get to the root of anger and control it. You deserve a happy, fulfilling life, and Thriveworks Woodstock is excited to help you get there!
Anger has its place in our life and is as natural as joy or fear. It’s when it becomes uncontrolled that it can wreak havoc in our physical, emotional, and social life.
The physical effects of anger are rarely recognized but can be as harmful as the emotional and social sides. Some physical side effects include:
How can an emotion affect our body? The key is in hormones. Stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline are activated by anger. Both stress hormones are vital for our lives, as is anger. But sustained, high doses of these things can break down the body and mind.
Short-term, anger can destroy as well. Researchers have linked anger with depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. It can strain all types of relationships, from the likelihood of you getting that promotion to the success of your love life. So how can we overcome anger? When everything in us is screaming to yell, punch, and get angry, how can we remain calm?
It’s not easy, but with professionals guiding you at every turn, it is possible. Thriveworks Anger Management Woodstock stresses that struggling with anger does not mean you are a “bad” person or lack self-control! Your worth is defined by so much more than how you handle anger. Going to Anger Management Counseling just means you’re looking for a few more coping mechanisms, something Thriveworks Woodstock is exactly ready and happy to give.
Anger can be so detrimental because it can spread like wildfire throughout your life. If you think even one aspect of your life could be improved by talking to a professional anger management counselor, it is worth a call!
Of course, our Thriveworks Woodstock counselors understands how much courage reaching out takes. It’s not always a straightforward decision, so here are some signs that might point towards asking for help:
It doesn’t always feel like it, but you are in control of how you respond to your emotions and environment. With a little guidance and practice, that freedom can be yours.
At Thriveworks Woodstock, we believe in a client-centered practice. Big words aside, it means you’re the center of every session. We address your goals and your hesitancies. Our jobs are to walk beside you and offer some great tools along the way. Some of those tools that we might practice are:
Anger does not define who you are. Usually, just one or two coping methods are what’s needed to start feeling better than ever.
Thriveworks Woodstock believes you deserve to live the happy, fulfilling life you’ve dreamed about. Sometimes, life throws us punches that we have to learn how to cope with. We are a judgment free space to come practice the best, personal strategies to do so. We are excited to start that journey with you!
