Anger Management Counseling in League City, The Woodlands & Midland TX
Does your anger feel like it’s running the show? Maybe you’ve noticed yourself snapping at loved ones, feeling your chest tighten, or saying things in the heat of the moment that you later regret. Perhaps the smallest frustrations seem to ignite a fire inside, leaving you wondering, Why can’t I just calm down? You’re not alone.

You don’t have to fight your anger alone—we’re here to help you find relief, understanding, and a way forward that truly works for you.

Different Anger Disorders:
Anger Disorders describe pathologically aggressive, violent, or self-destructive behaviors symptomatic of and driven by an underlying and chronically repressed anger or rage. Anger disorders result primarily from the long-term mismanagement of anger, a process in which normal, existential anger grows insidiously over time into resentment, bitterness, hatred, and destructive rage. Anger disorders may also be caused or exacerbated by neurological impairment and substance abuse, both of which can inhibit one’s ability to resist aggressive, angry, or violent impulses.
Intermittent explosive disorder (IED): is an impulse-control disorder characterized by sudden episodes of unwarranted anger. The disorder is typified by hostility, impulsivity, and recurrent aggressive outbursts.
