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.

Anger in and of itself is not necessarily bad. Anger is a natural emotion just as fear or joy. It is an important emotion that can have positive effects, but only after it’s healthily managed. The negative side effects of anger can spread not only to the people around us, but inside us as well.
The physical side effects are often overlooked, although equally as devastating. Some include:
Just a little bit of anger can do all that? Yes, and it all comes down to the body’s messengers- hormones. Stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline are released in a “flight or fight” situation. Anger creates an environment in the body where your flight or fight response is activated, and your body is flooded with stress hormones.
It takes courage to reach out and is a difficult decision to say the least! If you are still on the fence, look for some of these signs:
Anger can come out at the most inopportune situations. How you respond should be in your control, not in your anger’s. Thriveworks Anger Management at Amherst is excited for you to begin learning new ways to gain control and freedom from your anger.
