I am Atrevia Brown, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to providing evidence-based, compassionate psychiatric care. I typically partner with individuals navigating the heavy burdens of anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, as well as insomnia—and those seeking clarity and stability while managing mood disorders. My clients are looking for a safe, non-judgmental space where they can build emotional resilience, balance their symptoms through thoughtful medication management, and move from getting by to truly thriving in their personal and professional lives.
My approach is rooted in integrative psychiatry—combining precise medication management with a deep focus on the mind-body connection. Rather than just treating symptoms, I look at the whole person: how lifestyle, environment, and biology intersect. When you work with me, you can expect a collaborative, transparent partnership where your voice leads.
Taking the first step toward mental wellness is an act of profound courage, and you don't have to carry that weight alone. No matter how overwhelming things feel right now, there is a path forward filled with hope and healing. I invite you to reach out and schedule a consultation so we can begin reclaiming your peace and building the life you envision.

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 is a natural emotional response to a threat, frustration, criticism, or irritation. However, if your anger feels like something that you just can’t seem to shake, you can find anger management support with Thriveworks Greenville.
You can book online to get started, or simply give our office a call at (864) 952-4048.
Anger can be triggered by the threat of harm. It can be caused by a memory of a traumatic event. Some people experience anger from disappointment, either in themselves or someone else.
As humans, we’re wired with the expectation that we’ll be treated fairly, so when that expectation is not met, it upsets us – it angers us!
Anger can manifest itself in many ways. It affects us physically and emotionally. Initially, our bodies respond to anger as a defense mechanism. Increased breathing, elevated blood pressure, perspiration, chest pain, and flushed complexion are all outward signs of anger.
Internal signs of anger include headache, fatigue, and gastrointestinal issues. Anger can create emotional issues, such as anxiety, panic, nervousness, and depression.
Yes, you can learn to manage your anger. You can learn how to respond to the triggers that seem to always “set you off.” You can control your temper. At Thriveworks Greenville, you’ll explore the issues that make you angry and learn to understand why it happens.
There’s never been a better time to take control of your anger issues. Call us today to schedule your first appointment at (864) 952-4048.
