Anger Management Counseling Services

How is this anger management counseling any different from any other counseling? You're about to find out!

Have you ever tried to pull up weeds from your garden, and only got the tops? The roots are still there, and you know the weeds will come back unless you get those roots too.

The same is true of your anger. If you just learn to stifle it and stuff it, it will keep coming back.

Dr. DeFoore's counseling gets to the roots of your anger problems, and with his help you'll plant seeds for new growth and lasting change.

Some Questions You Probably Have

How do you pull up your anger problems by the roots? Is this the right type of anger management counseling for you?

Excellent questions! I'm glad you asked. I'll see if I can answer some of your questions.

1. Your anger problems are like weeds in your personal garden. If you don't do something about them, they will take over and interfere with the good stuff you want to grow, like:
1. Self-control--control of your own emotions and behavior
2. Healthy relationships with friends, family and loved ones
3. Successful professional and business relationships
4. Your self-respect and personal integrity
5. Laughter, happiness and your good heart
2. My kind of anger management counseling will not only help you pull up anger problems by the roots, it will strengthen the best parts of you that you want to grow more of!
3. So, here it is in a nutshell: in a garden, you pull out the weeds so that the tasty nutritious vegetables can grow. That is, you pull out (heal) the unhealthy anger, agitation, irritability, rage, loss of control, and aggression so that your self-control, communication skills, courage and your good heart can grow. That's what our anger management counseling is for!


4. Let's see...you also asked, "How do you pull up anger problems by the roots?" Here are some answers for that excellent question:
1. Your "roots" are in your personal life experience. There's good stuff in there, and some not-so-good stuff. We'll "weed out" the not-so-good stuff and encourage the good stuff to grow!
2. Specifically, we'll use some tried and true anger management counseling methods that will help you remember why you're really angry and where your anger really comes from. When you understand these root causes, and "in-courage" yourself, the problems will literally dissolve, and you will remember the good intentions inside you that have always been there.
3. Here's the most important part! When your anger heals, it doesn't go away--it becomes healthy anger! Healthy anger works together with your good heart to help you become the person you really want to be.
4. Still curious about how it all works? Well, I've been doing this for 38 years, so the complete answer is a very long one. Basically, I use a combination of Gestalt therapy, guided imagery, Bio-energetics, Client-centered Therapy and Transactional Analysis combined with a lot of knowledge and skills I've picked up along the way.

What If I Don't Live Near Dr. DeFoore's Office?

How does this work? What if I don't live in Texas?

The different ways I can help you are:

• If you are in the area, I offer regular, face-to-face 50 minute anger management counseling sessions in my office.

• Telephone counseling: My clients have been amazed, and I have been amazed at how well this works! I have clients from all over the world, that I've never laid eyes on. And I have helped them just as much as the people who have come to my office. I've found that I can implement all of my strategies for anger management therapy in these phone sessions.
• Video phone counseling: This is the same as telephone anger management counseling, but you and I will actually see each other on the computer screen while we talk. And! It costs very little to buy the equipment--about $100 to get set up! All you have to do is go to Skype.com where you can download the software totally free. This link will also give you information about the camera that you will need, if it's not built into your computer.
• Intensive counseling programs:

  These options are for you if...

• You are in a crisis and need to take immediate, effective action
• You don't want this to take a long time--you just want to get in there and get the job done!
• You are from out of the area and you don't think the telephone/video phone options will work for you
• You believe you are experiencing the symptoms of anger and rage addiction or Intermittent Explosive Disorder
