Christi Young, LPC

Do you struggle with intense anger, sudden outbursts, or lingering frustration that won’t go away?

Uncontrolled anger can leave you feeling ashamed, misunderstood, and out of control—and it often impacts the people and relationships you care about most. If you're tired of walking on emotional eggshells or apologizing after you’ve reacted in ways you regret, know this: you're not alone, and things can get better.

​

As a licensed professional counselor, I help adults understand, process, and manage their anger in healthy, empowering ways. You don’t have to keep reacting from a place of hurt or confusion. Therapy can help you move from reactivity to intentional response—with clarity, compassion, and control.

​

When Anger Feels Unmanageable

​

Anger itself isn’t the enemy. It’s a signal—an emotion that tells us something needs attention. But when anger becomes intense, unpredictable, or frequent, it can damage your sense of self, disrupt your relationships, and create a pattern of fear or shame.

​

You might relate to one or more of the following:

​

• You explode over small things and feel guilty afterward

• You shut down emotionally or withdraw when overwhelmed

• You feel like you’re constantly walking on the edge of frustration

• You’re stuck in patterns of passive-aggressive behavior or silent resentment

• You grew up in a household where anger was explosive—or completely suppressed

• You want to change, but you don’t know how

​

These patterns don’t define you—but they do deserve your attention and care.

​

A Supportive Space to Understand and Transform Your Anger

​

In therapy, we’ll create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can unpack the deeper layers beneath your anger. Often, anger is a protective emotion—covering up hurt, fear, sadness, rejection, betrayal, or unmet needs. Together, we’ll explore those layers so you can respond to yourself and others with more self-awareness and emotional maturity.

​

I use a combination of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you:

​

• Identify and name emotional triggers

• Reframe unhelpful thought patterns

• Build self-regulation tools to calm your body and mind

• Develop healthier communication and boundary-setting skills

• Shift old relational patterns that fuel current reactions

• Reconnect with your inner calm, clarity, and confidence

​

In Therapy, You’ll Learn to:

​

• Recognize the early warning signs of anger before they escalate

• Practice grounding techniques to calm your nervous system

• Understand the deeper emotions beneath your anger

• Identify childhood or relationship patterns that influence your responses

• Replace reactivity with intentional, values-aligned choices

​

These are not quick fixes—they're long-term skills that help you feel more empowered, emotionally balanced, and in control of your life.

​

Anger Doesn't Make You a Bad Person—It Makes You Human

​

Many people carry shame about their anger, especially if it's been misunderstood, punished, or weaponized in past relationships. But anger can become a catalyst for healing when it’s explored with curiosity and compassion.

​

Through counseling, you can begin to:

​

• Rebuild self-trust

• Strengthen your relationships

• Set healthier boundaries

• Restore peace within your own mind and body
