Anger Management in Manhattan — Upper West Side — Who Comes to Us, and Why
The Upper West Side is writers, professors, doctors from the hospitals, lawyers, and the families in the big prewar apartments — articulate people whose anger is verbal, precise, and devastating at close range. The argument that becomes an essay, the sarcasm that replaced affection, the parent who cannot stop correcting a teenager, the neighbor dispute that has gone on for years. Most of these people have been in therapy. Most of them are still doing the thing.
Behavioral Concepts and Advancement is the practical, forward-facing alternative: one on one with our executive director — a native New Yorker, son of immigrants, retired family and criminal law attorney, entrepreneur, and rebuilt father — who acknowledges your history and then works on your next argument. Lessons written for your life; sessions of thirty-five to sixty-five minutes by Zoom or phone, seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., no more than two a week; text access between. Choose 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 or more lessons after the assessment. No insurance, no judgment.
Not a one-dimensional therapist
The difference in this program is the person across the screen. Our executive director came to anger management through law — fifteen years as a family and criminal attorney in New Jersey, a former public defender, a mediator recognized in Best Lawyers in America — and through life: a business built from scratch, a divorce after a seventeen-year marriage, two children raised through it, an immigrant family that started with nothing in New York. That combination is why clients dealing with someone in Manhattan — Upper West Side who wants to get ahead of their anger say the sessions are the first time anyone spoke to them plainly about their anger and the life it was attached to. He acknowledges where you came from, he does not judge it, and he turns you toward where you are going.
The Two-Fold Approach: Custom Lessons for Your Life, Tools for Your Anger
Most programs teach anger management as if anger were the whole problem — and for someone in Manhattan — Upper West Side who wants to get ahead of their anger, it rarely is. It is usually the symptom that finally got loud enough to notice. So this program works on two levels at once: custom lessons that pertain to what you are dealing with — the situation, the relationship, the pressure the anger is riding on — and tools to manage the anger attached to it, which we discuss and practice in the one-on-one sessions. That is what ‘two-fold’ means here, and it is why clients say the change outlasted the program.
For someone in Manhattan — Upper West Side who wants to get ahead of their anger: sessions of thirty-five to sixty-five minutes, seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern, no more than two a week, text access between, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 or more customized lessons paired with one-on-one sessions, set after an assessment. No insurance, no waiting to start.
