Anger Management
We Provide Anger Management Therapy in the Hudson Valley
Dealing with conflict in our personal lives is unavoidable. The way we handle disagreements, however, can be the “make or break” factor in marriages, friendships, and other important relationships. Uncontrolled and mismanaged anger is the number-one cause of divorce. Anger itself is often a response to a deeper issue. The therapists at Cross The Bridge Counseling can help discover and heal from the root of the conflict at hand. If you have experienced an extreme reaction to an event or disagreement in your life, we recommend seeking anger management counseling as soon as possible. Give our Hudson Valley team a call today to schedule an assessment with our team of experts.
Build Awareness of the Common Signs of Anger
Conflicts are bound to happen in our personal relationships due to differences in our backgrounds and values.

- Rapid breathing
- Increased blood pressure
- Tense or tingling muscles
- Headaches
