Is anger ruling your life, relationships, and behavior?
You can learn techniques to manage anger and repair your relationships. We teach ways to manage your anger…instead of your anger managing you.
Feel better about yourself and your behavior by learning to master your angry impulses and get your life back in a comfortable, non-judgmental setting. RiverBend Counseling offers Group therapy options for voluntary and Court-ordered anger management/anger resolution.
With more than 10 years of experience, Jay enjoys helping people reshape their relationships with anger.
Within this format, members can earn a 10 Hour Certificate of Completion in 8 weeks.

- Have you done everything you can to save and rehabilitate your marriage?
Do you have unfinished emotional business that you would like to resolve? - Have you researched, planned, and prepared yourself legally for divorce?
- Are you ready to adopt a new standard of conduct with your children?
- Are you willing to create a new relationship as a co-parent?
Have you ever observed couples that seem crazy in love and you wish that your relationship looked like that? Do you feel like you are missing a significant piece of the puzzle of a happy, long-lasting relationship? Or, maybe you feel like you have tried everything you can think of, to save your marriage but nothing works. And, if asked, you might define your relationship as ongoing conflict and turmoil.
Although puzzling, it may be that sometimes you feel that your spouse is a stranger. After all, your marriage did not start this way. You used to know your spouse so well and everything was going great. It is overwhelming to experience the feeling of uncertainty about your relationship status and where it is headed.
Many of the couples I work with have lost the ability to talk to each other with respect and understanding. Several of them reach the point where it is less painful to stop talking to each other altogether, instead of discussing the same issues over and over again. If you are in this place, or it feels like you are heading there, give me a call. Address the difficult topics and begin to uncover the many reasons that you began your relationship in the first place.

Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders (OCD) are a group of conditions that affect around 2% of the population. These disorders impact people’s lives in a real and frequently devastating manner.
OCD compels people to exhibit behavior or experience thoughts that seem to be out of their control. Further, these thoughts and behaviors often feel mandatory, as if they are not a choice…people feel that they must complete these rituals to feel “OK”. That is a powerless position, one that many endure daily in their battle against their symptoms of anxiety and distress.
River Bend Counseling is partnering with The OCD Clinics to provide a variety of treatment options. Depending on your schedule and need, we provide traditional outpatient treatment or a more frequent format, the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). IOP is appropriate for those who have more severe symptoms or who are ready to focus on recovery in a four-day-per-week format.
OCD often responds to evidence-based approaches called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, specifically Exposure/Response Prevention (E/RP). Our approach is to provide treatment in the clinic and the community. We tailor the specific Treatment Plan based on the specific needs of each client.
Our staff have received extensive, advanced clinical training in the implementation of OCD treatment techniques. Our clinicians are BTTI Graduates.
