Therapy that goes deeper than anger management classes
One-on-One Anger Therapy for Adults in New York
Anger is a normal human emotion that alerts us that something is being done to us that is threatening, unjust, or blocks our needs.
Feeling angry isn’t a problem by itself, and it doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. But anger can start to get in the way when:
It feels overwhelming, out of control, or just plain uncomfortable. Many people didn’t get the chance to learn healthy ways to deal with anger growing up—they were expected to swallow it or ignore it, which isn’t easy.
It shows up more often or stronger than we can handle. When anger gets to be too much, or starts to take over daily life, it might be a sign to look closer.
It makes communication with people close to us harder. Anger in relationships often covers up deeper pain or old wounds, and without understanding, this can create more arguments and distance instead of making things better.
It pushes us to act before we think—sometimes in ways we regret, or that hurt us or those around us, and can leave lasting marks.
Learn to take control of your anger—and express yourself with calm, clarity and confidence.
Client Feedback
Anger management classes vs. anger therapy
You may be searching for a quick online anger management class—and while these programs serve a purpose, let's be clear about what they offer. Anger management classes typically provide surface-level awareness: what anger is, common triggers, and a handful of basic coping strategies.
Anger classes last just a few hours, involve reading materials and easy-to-pass quizzes, and are designed primarily to satisfy court, employer, or school requirements.
Anger management classes can check a box, but they rarely create the deep, lasting transformation most people are really seeking.
Anger therapy goes deeper.
Anger therapy is a personalized, in-depth process with a specially trained, highly experienced licensed therapist who works with you—not just at you.
Together, we'll explore what's really driving your anger, uncover old emotional patterns that keep you stuck, and develop new, healthier ways to respond.
Over time, anger management therapy reduces reactivity, builds genuine self-control, and restores your confidence and calm. This is where real, lasting change happens.
So, what’s right for you?
ANGER MANAGEMENT CLASSES
If your goal is simply to complete a requirement or learn general tips through lectures and multiple-choice tests, anger management classes are probably the best place for you to start.

I am honored to use my unique anger management training and skills to help people for whom anger has become a problem. We do this through developing behavioral and emotional self-awareness, understanding about triggers and underlying causes, and effective coping skills (aka “tools”) that can help them manage their anger reactions in more constructive ways.
