The impact of untreated mental health concerns interferes with the child's development and continues to negatively impact the child to adulthood.Parents if you have concerns regarding your child (and you know them best), consult with a Licensed Professional. One of the greatest gifts for a child is to have the unwavering support of parents. Be there for them.

Calling all youth! Transitioning from childhood to adulthood is not an easy task. Teen therapy can provide important support. Through teen therapy, teenagers can explore and better understand their emotions, behavior, and experiences. A teen therapist may use techniques like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to help teens process difficult situations and identify positive coping skills.
Counseling or Coaching For Anger Management. According to the American Psychological Association, most (75%) individuals who seek and participate fully in anger management treatment or coaching definitely improve. Anger distances one from their family, friends and coworkers. Why is skill building for emotions not taught in school? It is Emotional Intelligence after all. A skill one needs throughout life. While learning anger management skills is more educational, a counselor or coach will teach and reinforce positive coping skills. Learn how to manage your unpredictable and powerful anger and stop letting it control you. Slow down. Breathe and Think. Develop better communication. Learn to be Assertive rather than Aggressive.

If you are struggling with managing your anger, you are not alone. Anger is a powerful emotion, and it can be hard to keep it under control. Unmanaged Anger affects all of your life. With the right tools, you can learn to acknowledge your feelings and harness those emotions in more positive ways. Understand how YOU react to anger as everyone reacts differently. Pay attention as your anger builds and try to understand what is REALLY bothering you in the moment. Knowing how you react will help you gain better control of your emotions in difficult situations and manage with more appropriate responses. A supportive therapist can HELP!!!
