What I treat · Anger · Superior
Anger management therapy for Superior, Wisconsin.
Anger and irritability therapy for Superior adults, with Wisconsin-licensed Amber Miller, MSed., LPC. Telehealth statewide, in-person at the Superior office. Most insurance accepted, including BadgerCare and Medicaid.
Superior is Amber's home base. Her in-person office is on Tower Avenue, a short drive from Belknap and Tower or from anywhere on the Wisconsin side of the bridge. Most Superior clients prefer telehealth from home or work in winter and in-person in the warmer months; we will pick what fits. If you are a UW-Superior student, the office is in town and we can meet either way. Most Twin Ports clients book a regular weekday morning or early-afternoon slot.
What Anger therapy looks like
The people who come for anger work are usually not violent. They are people whose tone has been getting away from them, whose partner or kid has flinched lately, whose job has started taking note. They want to stop being like this and have not been able to do it on their own.
Anger work is not about suppression. The goal is not to feel less angry. The goal is to read the anger faster, understand what it is signaling, and have more choices about what to do with it before it leaves your mouth.
How we work on it
Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral tools come in heavily for this one. We work on noticing the early body signals, on what is underneath the anger (often hurt, often fear), and on how to respond differently in the moment. Most of the early progress is in the body, not the head.
Anger is almost always covering something it would feel more vulnerable to admit.
How sessions work for Superior clients
Superior is right at the office. We can meet in-person at 3712 Tower Ave, Suite C, by telehealth from home or work, or some mix of both. Many local clients prefer in-person for the first session and switch to telehealth for the regular cadence.

What to do next
If this read like something you recognize, the next step is to schedule the consultation or intake session. The free 15 minutes consult gives us both a sense of whether we would work well together before you book the first paid session. Text, call, or use the form, whichever is easiest.
