“Can you help my child with anger issues?”

Hi, Thanks for your question. Yes, counseling can help with anger issues! The best therapy for anger is done by a Certified Anger Management Specialist. This therapy helps a person learn to manage anger by first identifying the feeling and the factors that contribute to feeling that way (underlying causes of the anger), and then learning healthy coping skills to use. Coping skills can include reading, listening to music, writing/journaling, calling a friend or talking to someone about the situation, playing with a pet, deep diaphragmatic breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, mindfulness and meditation, drawing or other forms of artistic expression, exercise or going for a walk, etc. Best, Jenna Torres, PsyD LifeStance Health

Depending on how old your daughter is, it may be part of development. She should see her regular doctor and get treatment if she needs it.

Child is a very inclusive term. One of my daughters is 42, so her solution to this would be very different from a 10 year old. Dr. William Summers
