Healing in Their Own Words

“Redefine Wellness helped me to reclaim my health”

Redefine Wellness helped me to reclaim my health and wellbeing. I had several major life crises hit me all at once, I was a mess. I was stuck in fight or flight, not sleeping, nightmares, poor appetite, and could not stop the looping thoughts of fear, anger and worry. I was desperate for sleep, desperate for relief and I am so grateful that I chose to do coaching with Redefine Wellness. I felt safe, supported and empowered during my therapy.

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.
