Anger Management Therapists in London, ON

Talking about it is not always easy. Counselling can help to make sense of what you are going through and how to move forward towards realizing your own potential. I provide counselling for individuals and couples as they deal with issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger management, interpersonal relationships, and stress. In every crisis there is opportunity for growth and I am here to help you find it.

ANGER: Do you keep apologizing for anger outbursts and not know how to change this pattern? I can help you to look at the "anger causing" issues and to respond appropriately, not destructively. RELATIONSHIPS: Do you wish that you had a better relationship with your loved-ones and others you interact with? Working with me you can learn about healthy attachment and bonding. TRAUMA: Do you ever feel like "something" is scary or holding you back? Do you have memories getting in the way of life? Experience Traumatic Incident Reduction with me and release the "emotional charge" that controls you.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or weighed down by the challenges life has thrown your way? Whether you're grappling with the weight of work-related stress, the pain of grief, the overwhelm of uncontrolled anger and anxiety, the complexities of breaking or broken relationships, or the scars of unhealed traumas, seeking counseling can be a crucial step towards finding relief and a renewed sense of hope, clarity and confidence in life.

I have provided psychotherapy, counselling and coaching since 1996. I have worked with a diverse population with many types of issues and challenges. My passion is helping individuals, couples and families to thrive; and helping leaders and organizations to excel. I provide a safe and confidential place where problems can be shared, solutions identified, barriers overcome, progress achieved and success celebrated. I primarily use client-centered, solution-focused and cognitive behavioural approaches.

We all have times in our lives when we need someone to talk to and to help us work through issues and challenges. I would be happy to talk to you and to help you identify your goals and learn how to develop positive coping strategies and life skills that are realistic and effective. Your story is built upon your life experiences and learning often occurs during the difficult times in our lives. It is time to take control of your story so you can start living the life you desire.

Most of us men have been taught that we have to manage things by ourselves. To hide our feelings. Or we don't have feelings. Guess what that leads to? Anger, irritability, relationship issues, work problems, and trouble connecting with our kids, friends, and partners. Maybe drinking too much and checking out, too. Or cheating on our partner, because it's easier than trying to figure out what's going on at home. Maybe you don't even realize how bad things have gotten until your partner tells you that you "can't communicate", you're messing up, and now you have no idea what to do and you're defensive and confused.

Over the past 26 years I have specialized in working with individuals (adults and youth, male and female) who have done something of a sexual nature that has gotten them into trouble, or have engaged in violent behaviour towards their intimate partner. I also support families with safety planning. I am a qualified expert in Criminal, Family, and Superior court to conduct risk assessments for individuals who have committed a sexual based offence, as well provide the courts with recommendations for treatment options for those individuals. I am also specialized in working with clients suffering with anger management issues.

Sometimes men are great at pretending everything's fine – even when life is falling apart. Trying to carry the weight of the world all by yourself is a sure path to depression, anger issues, self-medicating, lashing out, and increased stress and physical symptoms. Whether you're trying to figure out what your partner wants (what does she mean by "communicate better" anyway?), or you're needing to talk through personal, work, or family issues, I can help you get to a better place. If you're worried that you're the only one, don't. There is literally nothing you can tell me that I haven't heard or worked with before.

Dr. Folino has experience supporting children and teens with a variety of difficulties including anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive behaviours, body-focused repetitive behaviours (e.g., trichotillomania), self-harm behaviors, anger management difficulties, emotion regulation challenges, severe oppositionality, and social skills deficits. Dr. Folino provides remedial supports to youth with learning disabilities and executive functioning challenges. Working with with medical practitioners, Dr. Folino supports children and their families with the management of elimination disorders such as encopresis and enuresis.

The individuals and families that I support, experience feelings of overwhelm and find themselves ‘stuck’ in patterns or strategies that hinder their well being. Avoidance, anger outbursts, intense worrying, controlling tendencies, substance use, and disconnecting from ourselves and the people we care for, are just some of the strategies we use to cope with life’s stress. We can become deeply stuck in these patterns even at the expense of our own well-being, and/or inter-personal relationships. Luckily, our brains and bodies are capable of great change. Restoring ourselves to a more optimal way of being, is possible.

I believe that the goal of therapy is to help you get rid of the emotional clutter and debris that you don't want in your life any more; to free you from the entanglements that prevent you from achieving greater success, happiness, and fulfillment. If you have problems with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, trauma, abuse, anger, or just need to find a way to stop feeling 'stuck', I can help. We will address the emotional problems, troublesome habits, and relationship roadblocks that that prevent you from getting where you want to go.

I see my role in therapy as being your ally in helping to identify and overcome challenges. I will work with you to recognize and foster personal and interpersonal strengths and learn new strategies to help you manage problems more effectively. We will focus on changing both behaviour and thinking patterns that are no longer helpful and adaptive, while at the same time working on accepting what cannot be changed. We will take a "whole person" approach that is focused on optimizing health, reducing stress, and increasing engagement in what brings you joy and fulfillment.

I believe we all dream to live lives of more and lives of less. More: happiness, peace, achieving meaningful goals, and joy in relationships. The opposite is also true, we seek lives with less. Less: stress, negative coping, anger, and disconnection. Are you one of millions of new Canadians trapped between 2 worlds? Is it time to create your own life? Do you experience anxiety, depression, or relationship issues that never seem to change; growing up "fine but feeling empty", or loveless parenting, do you want to change how you parent your own child--all of which can hold you back or instill panic. Small steps can feel overwhelming.

I am currently only accepting Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy clients at this time. Are you ready to make a change and live your genuine life? Or, are you ready to begin building a life worth living? Ready to move past what's holding you stuck? As a therapist, I believe that every person can create and harness their own fuel for mental wellbeing by working on inner strength. I hold the perspective that mental wellbeing doesn't come from our circumstances, but from within the body. I use a holistic approach, looking at every way to improve life- such as skill building, spiritual, emotional and trauma work.

Sometimes we need someone to talk things through with so we don’t end up feeling stuck, overwhelmed or isolated. Trying to go it alone or ‘tough it out’ can lead to increased anxiety, depression and stress or other symptoms and behaviours that can cause additional challenges in our lives and relationships. Working together, we can find new ways for you to problem-solve, identify strengths, deepen self-awareness, manage feelings and reactions and tap into your inner wisdom to promote positive change and healing.

For over 20 years I have supported adults, children, couples and families to have healthier relationships, and better emotional well being. I specialize in working with symptoms of stress, anxiety, and trauma and I use a strength based, relational lens to understand your unique symptoms and to build on your strengths. If you or your child is struggling with emotional regulation, anxiety, anger, behaviour problems, or persistent health issues connected to stress please call for a free consultation.

I believe that a compassionate, strength-based approach creates an opportunity for growth and learning. My intention is to offer a space where each individual feels safe to reflect on challenges, develop new ways to cope with difficulties and to pursue self-acceptance by connecting with the wisdom that is within themself. I have experience supporting individuals exploring concerns related to overwhelming feelings of stress, sadness, anger, worry, parenting challenges and relationship issues. I have worked with adults, youth and children in the London community for over 25 years.
