Anger Management Program in Scottsdale

Anger management support at our Scottsdale outpatient program—where clinical excellence meets compassionate care.

Outpatient Anger Management Program

Anger becomes destructive when it hijacks relationships, threatens careers, and leaves you dealing with the aftermath of explosive moments you can’t take back. At Redefine, we treat anger as the complex response it is and know it is often signaling unprocessed trauma, unmet needs, or nervous system dysregulation that most anger management classes never touch. Our outpatient programs offer intensive therapies that identify your specific triggers and builds new neural pathways for responding to frustration without destroying what matters most.

See Our Treatment Program Options

Anger doesn’t operate on a convenient schedule, and neither should your treatment. Some people need multiple weekly sessions, while others require consistent weekly support to untangle decades of suppressed rage. If rage is actively destroying relationships and threatening your career, intensive outpatient provides frequent therapy sessions to interrupt destructive cycles before more damage occurs. When anger simmers beneath functional days but erupts unpredictably, regular outpatient therapy helps identify patterns and build skills between episodes. We adjust session frequency based on your current crisis level, life demands, and how quickly you need to see change.

5 star review - graphic with 5 stars
What I was most happy about and sold me on getting therapy myself was how caring everyone is. And it’s not time limited. Like if you need an extra 20 mins cause it was a hard session then they will work with you to get that extra 20 mins. And they didn’t seem rushed to get to the next person. I’m so happy to say I would 100% recommend this place over and over.

5 star review - graphic with 5 stars
I did a 5-day intensive at Redefine and it was exactly what I needed. The space was calm and private, and the sessions were deep but manageable. It gave me time to slow down, reset, and really focus on things I hadn’t had space to deal with. The team was supportive without being pushy — they really respected where I was at. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something focused and personal.

Questions About
Anger Management

Is anger management therapy just about controlling anger?

No. Effective anger management therapy teaches you to understand what triggers anger, regulate emotional intensity, and express anger in healthy ways. It’s about developing skills while addressing underlying causes—not just suppressing feelings.

Anger issues can stem from past trauma, learned family patterns, chronic stress, underlying depression or anxiety, unprocessed grief, or neurological factors. Anger management therapy addresses both current symptoms and root causes.

If anger is damaging your relationships, affecting work, creating legal issues, or causing you shame and regret—professional anger management therapy can help. When anger feels out of control or others express concern, it’s time to seek support.
Treatment length varies based on severity and underlying causes. Some people learn core skills within weeks, while others benefit from longer-term therapy addressing trauma or deep-seated patterns. Most programs run 8-16 weeks with ongoing support as needed.

Most insurance plans provide coverage for intensive outpatient programs when medically necessary. We work with the majority of major insurance providers including Aetna, Cigna, Multiplan, UMR, BCBS, and many others. Our insurance specialists will verify your specific benefits, explain your coverage, and handle the authorization process to ensure you understand exactly what’s covered before you begin treatment.

Our Mission

At Redefine Wellness and Treatment, we empower healing by uniting mind, body, and spirit. Using trauma-informed therapies, neuroscience, and holistic practices, we deliver personalized care that fosters resilience, growth, and lasting transformation.

Our Vision

We aspire to create a world where access to transformative healing is available to all, empowering people to lead fulfilling, balanced lives.
