I look forward to utilizing my years of experience as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and as a Counselor as we work together in finding the correct regimen to help you be your best self.
Hello, my name is Chris Wall. I started my career as a mental health counselor before transitioning into my current area of practice as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), where I have worked for the last 14 years. In my years as a PMHNP, I have worked with all manner of clients and all forms of diagnosis. I understand the challenges we face, and many times psychiatric medications can be of great benefit—whether as a long-term or short-term solution.
As a PMHNP, I enjoy asking questions with an open-ended approach, giving my clients the freedom to express in their own words what symptomatology they may be struggling with. I develop individualized treatment plans to address specific client needs, and I look forward to delivering quality care through accurate diagnosis and evidence-based treatment.
I commend you for taking these steps to help and heal yourself. I would be happy to play at least a small part in this journey. If you would like to schedule an appointment, we will work together on any goals you may have. Thanks!

Yes, there are therapists who help with anger via Anger management therapy. It’s a therapeutic process that an individual goes through to manage their anger and identify its triggers. They’re given clear instructions on how to improve their angry behavior as well as a safe space for opening up about their emotions.
Once an individual’s triggers are identified, anger management therapy focuses on helping the individual process and respond to these emotions in a more positive and productive manner. The anger management therapist will provide coping strategies and ultimately help their client take back control of their anger.
The five keys to mastering anger include identifying triggers, pausing before reacting, calmly expressing emotions, discovering constructive outlets for frustration, and seeking professional assistance if necessary. Acquiring these skills through Anger management therapy empowers individuals to effectively manage and navigate their anger.
The best therapy for anger management often involves cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps individuals identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior related to anger.
Anger management therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Often, Anger management therapy lasts between 4-6 weeks. However, it can last longer, dependent on the individual’s needs.
Does your anger consume you? Are your fists constantly clenched? Are you always gritting your teeth? Many people don’t know how to handle their anger in a healthy way. They feel mad and as if they need to let it out, but don’t know how to do so properly. Even after they let it out, they still feel their blood boiling. Most people think that their own remedies will allow them to let go of the anger on their own, when in reality, it can be hard to rid yourself of that fiery feeling—especially if you don’t know the underlying reason behind all of your anger. At Thriveworks McLean, we are trained in helping our clients understand the root cause of their struggles with anger. We understand that when left untreated, anger can lead to serious consequences in every aspect of your life. And so, we work with each client to identify the cause of their anger and equip them with tools to better manage anger. If you struggle to manage your anger in a healthy way, consider working with one of our professionals in Fairfax County.
If you have a loved one that gets mad and stays mad, and you don’t know what to do to help, it can be devastating. Here are some signs and symptoms of someone struggling with anger management:
Whenever your body reacts in this type of manner, your anger is not being managed properly. Improper anger management can endanger others and damage relationships at school, work, in the home, and elsewhere. Therefore, it’s important that you acknowledge these signs and get the anger management help you need as soon as possible.
There are many occurrences that can cause anger for someone. Maybe you’ve received your third parking ticket this month, or your significant other has been laid off—or maybe it’s something of a lesser degree such as stubbing your toe or spilling coffee on your shirt. Different things strike us and can make us angry, however, not all of us handle our anger well. Our response to anger is all tied up in our individual experiences across a lifetime. What makes one person angry may not faze another. In many cases, there are underlying causes for triggers. No matter what the cause is, an anger counselor is the best solution for out-of-control anger.
When you or your loved one decides it’s time to seek anger management help, counseling is a great place to start. In the meanwhile, here are some effective methods you can try on your own:
Learning how to monitor and control your anger management can be crucial in your path toward a healthier, happier life. When you can release some of that fiery feeling inside of you, you will feel lighter, less frustrated, and overall healthier. At Thriveworks McLean in the Fairfax area, we want to help you. Call us today to schedule your first appointment—we have a no waiting list policy and accept a large number of insurance plans to be sure you get the help you need. We’re ready when you are.
