Trauma and Anger Management

Therapy in Boca Raton, Florida

Virtual Therapy Services available throughout Florida

Hope is here. Healing starts now.

Does this sound like you?

You can’t stop your mind — you replay conversations, overthink texts, or wondering if you said the wrong thing long after it’s over.

You want closeness but also feel anxious — you want connection, but prepare for disappointment, feeling misunderstood, or like you’re not good enough.

Coping with life feels harder than it should right now — you’ve tried to do the work, but it still feels like nothing is really helping, and sometimes it’s like you can’t even breathe.

If this sounds familiar, therapy can help you develop steadier emotions, clearer thinking, and relationships that feel secure rather than draining — all through supportive virtual sessions for adults in Boca Raton and throughout Florida.

In our work together you can expect to…

  • Understand yourself better — not just get through things, but actually feel like you’re making real changes that last.

  • Feel more in control of how you respond instead of doing things you regret later.

  • Stop repeating the same patterns and feel confident trusting yourself and your decisions.

  • Learn to communicate better so relationships feel closer, easier, and less stressful.

  • Feel more balanced emotionally and able to handle everyday life without it feeling like too much.

Virtual Therapy available throughout Florida

Meet Dr. Amanda Werdann-Mendez, LCSW

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re used to handling everything on your own. You might even wonder if what you’re feeling is “bad enough” — but if it’s impacting you, it matters.

I aim to create a space where you can be real no pressure, no judgment — and where we focus on what’s actually going to help you feel better day to day.

While change takes time, it is absolutely possible with the right tools and support. You don’t have to keep pushing through on your own.

If this resonates, virtual therapy in Boca Raton and throughout Florida is here to support you in creating a life that feels calmer, clearer, and more connected.

Therapy for Anger Management

When anger feels difficult to control, it can strain relationships and leave you feeling regretful or misunderstood. Anger management therapy helps you recognize triggers, regulate intense emotions, and express yourself in healthier, more constructive ways.

Struggling doesn’t always look dramatic…

Sometimes it shows up quietly — putting things off, losing momentum, or pulling back just as things begin to go well.

Other times, it feels louderconstant tension, reacting in ways you later regret, or carrying frustration and hurt beneath the surface.

  • Motivation may feel heavy.

  • Anxiety may not settle.

  • Mood shifts can be confusing.

  • Relationships may feel strained or stuck in repeating patterns.

Despite appearing capable — you may feel misunderstood or alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question mark on a stone
  • My fee is $225 for a 50-minute session, whether individual or couples. Extended sessions are available, with each additional 30 minutes billed at $112. A limited sliding scale is offered based on financial need.

  • I do not accept insurance as payment for services. If you wish to seek reimbursement, I will provide you with a monthly superbill that you may submit directly to your insurance company under your out-of-network benefits, as applicable. I encourage you to contact your insurance carrier to understand your specific out-of-network mental health coverage and reimbursement rates.

    I do not participate in insurance panels because many insurance companies impose strict limitations on the length, frequency, and type of treatment that can be provided. These restrictions can influence clinical decisions and may limit the depth or duration of care.

    Benefits of working with an out-of-network provider:

    • Clinical flexibility. Our work is guided by your needs rather than insurance authorizations, session caps, or mandated treatment models.

    • Individualized treatment. I am able to design care that is thoughtful, intentional, and tailored specifically to you without external oversight shaping the process.

    • Enhanced privacy. Insurance companies typically require a mental health diagnosis and access to certain treatment information. Working out-of-network allows your personal health information to remain more private.

    • Continuity of care. Treatment is less likely to be interrupted by policy changes, coverage limits, or authorization expirations.

    • Client-centered decision making. The direction of your therapy is determined by what best supports your well-being, not by insurance guidelines.

  • I meet with clients for 50-minute sessions and offer extended sessions when scheduled in advance. Sessions are typically held once or twice per week, depending on your needs, goals, and budget. I recommend committing to weekly sessions for the first six months to establish a strong foundation and ensure consistent support. As we track your progress, we will collaborate to determine if transitioning to bi-weekly sessions is appropriate.

  • Yes, I offer intensive therapy sessions that go beyond the traditional 50-minute model. These extended sessions typically range from 90 minutes to 2 hours per day and can be scheduled as one session per week or multiple days.

    Intensive therapy is a great option if you’re looking to make meaningful progress in a shorter period of time or if your schedule makes it difficult to attend weekly sessions. I offer intensives for both individuals and relationships, tailored to your specific goals and needs.

  • I offer sessions virtually in Boca Raton, Florida. In our first session, we will review the intake paperwork together, and I’ll ask questions to get to know you and understand what you hope to gain from therapy. We’ll discuss how you’re feeling about starting this process and collaborate on what feels most important to you. The first few sessions may involve sharing your story so I can better understand your history and experiences. I also make it a point to regularly check in to ensure our work continues to feel like a good fit for you.

  • If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. Appointments changed with less than 24 hours’ notice may be subject to the full session fee.

  • Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form or schedule a call—we’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.
