Anger Management
Anger is an emotion that we all feel. Much to many people's surprise, it can be a useful and important emotion. However, sometimes, our response to anger creates chaos and destruction in our lives and in our relationships.
This course is not designed to get rid of angry feelings, but rather to help us to understand the origin of angry feelings, the impact that unbridled anger has on our health, our professions, our relationships and our general sense of well-being and peace. This course is designed to provide guidance and tools so that we can understand this powerful emotion and respond to it in such a way that we can move forward in our lives to productivity and healthful living.

Group Treatment
Depending on the number of participants, group sessions are also offered. This is a commitment of 24 sessions and certificates of completion are also offered.

The group setting is confidential and private and commitments from every group member is required to keep it so. Group rates are discounted from individual sessions.
