I am a professional educated to work with complex anger management concerns, not just traditional psychotherapy or group counseling. Anger management is a complex combination of insights from various psychological traditions that require additional training in anger management skills, concepts, and techniques.
My training in Anger Management therapy provided me with the tools needed to confidently and effectively work with individuals who experience destructive anger and help them constructively communicate anger without the outbursts that damage their most important relationships, jeopardize their careers, and put their health at risk.
Anyone who qualifies for a paraphilic disorder diagnosis or who has committed an offense against a minor can benefit from this service. The DSM-5 defines paraphilia as “an intense and persistent sexual interest other than sexual interest in genital stimulation or preparatory fondling with phenotypically normal, physically mature, consenting human partners” that is present for at least 6 months and causes distress, impairment, harm, or the risk of harm. Not all sexual offenders have paraphilic disorders though.
My treatment approach is routinely informed by new research and advances in sex offender assessment, treatment, and management. Treatment is delivered through a group format, which includes psychoeducational content and opportunities for processing. The frequency and duration of treatment depends on the risk level and treatment needs that have been identified in the initial assessment. My groups include offenders who deny, minimize, or take only partial responsibility of their sexual offending. This is to engage and motivate them to accept responsibility and recognize the benefits of treatment.
