Anger Management
Ages 18+
In this group, clients will learn what anger is, how to identify the symptoms of anger, and how to recognize when their feelings of anger are growing to a destructive level. During this process, we will explore how our belief systems play into our emotions and how those belief systems can be altered so that we may regain control of our actions. Clients will learn the difference between controlling their emotions and controlling their actions tied to those emotions. As a result, clients will learn to recognize their feelings in the early stages, and with enough time to be able to use the techniques, concepts, and skills learned in group, to begin to make healthier choices and ultimately be less reactive to triggers.
This group is dedicated to the goal of enhancing adult women’s insight and coping through empowerment, expressive art, and body-mind practices. This group will meet biweekly and consist of check-ins, participation of artistic and meditative activities, and reflections. The group time will vary from 60 to 90 minutes and will meet biweekly.
This group is intended for children ages 11-14. It is designed to assist in developing problem solving skills, building healthy relationships with peers, and managing emotions in a social setting.
We provide support for a wide range of mental disorders and common mental health issues at our Ellie Mental Health Clinic in Brandon. No matter your concerns, your compassionate Ellie therapist will provide you with the non-judgmental care you deserve.
