Couple’s Anger Management Course
As anger management skills can be directly impacted by a partner, many couples choose to participate in the program together to increase the benefits of the course.

These are especially helpful for couples, families, or anyone facing more complex challenges. Sessions can be three hours or longer, even spread over one to three days if needed. We also offer lower hourly rates for these extended sessions.
