Anger Management Counseling Services

Sometimes we feel that life is unmanageable or that we're burned out. We all experience difficulties or losses which seem overwhelming. And most of us at one time or another experience marriage, family or relational problems.

As a licensed, clinical, professional counseling practice, we offer help. We work together with you to identify problems, find the resources which will make your life more manageable, and facilitate the healing process. In offering clinical assistance, we're committed to a practice that explores the needs that you find the most pressing.

You come to a better understanding of your thoughts and feelings through a caring counseling relationship using helpful dialogue, consultation and other resources. You learn skills to help you cope with your problems more effectively and plan realistic goals. So, when life becomes overwhelming... you can find help and hope through counseling for your anger and other issues.
Or you may want to explore the Anger Management Coaching services we offer.
You may need to obtain an Anger Management Evaluation/assessment. Anger Management Assessments/Evaluations are sometimes ordered by courts, employers or institutions. We are providers of official anger management evaluations and recommendations. A phone evaluation will be scheduled once you pay and fax in this order form.
See CounselCare Connection for information on office, email and phone sessions. Or pay by Credit Card - fax form in or call Lynette at: 708.524.3333, ext. 1.
