Welcome to Our Emotion Regulation Therapy Services
At Ann Arbor Therapy & Testing, we understand how challenging it can be to manage intense emotions. Whether you’re a child, adolescent, or adult, our team of professional therapists is here to help you develop effective strategies for regulating emotions and navigating life’s challenges. Our evidence-based approach ensures that you receive comprehensive, confidential, and collaborative care tailored to your individual needs.
Everyday Emotion Regulation Examples
Emotion regulation plays a key role in our daily lives. Here are some common situations where you may need to manage your emotions:
- Children: Navigating frustration after losing a game or dealing with anxiety before a test at school.
- Adolescents: Managing stress from peer pressure, academic performance, or relationship challenges.
- Adults: Coping with work-related stress, family dynamics, or balancing personal and professional responsibilities.
In all these situations, learning how to manage emotions can reduce stress, improve decision-making, and increase overall well-being.
What Does Emotion Regulation in Therapy Do to Help?
In therapy, we work together to understand your emotional responses and help you develop healthy coping mechanisms. Emotion regulation treatment can help by:
- Developing self-awareness so you can identify emotional triggers and respond more effectively in the future.
- Reducing emotional distress by teaching strategies to manage overwhelming feelings.
- Building resilience to help you bounce back more easily from emotional setbacks.
- Improving communication skills to express emotions in a healthy and productive way.

How Our Emotion Regulation Treatment Reflects Our Core Values
At Ann Arbor Therapy & Testing, our approach to emotion regulation therapy is built on our values of empathy, self-awareness, resiliency, positive mindset, and improved self-esteem. Here’s how these values shape our work with you:
- Empathy: We listen to your experiences with care and understanding, ensuring you feel heard and supported. For example, a child learning to express their frustration in a safe, supportive environment without fear of judgment helps them feel validated and nurtured.
- Self-Awareness: We help you develop insight into your emotional triggers and responses, empowering you to make informed decisions. This could look like an adolescent recognizing patterns in their emotional reactions, such as noticing when they feel irritated or anxious, and learning to pause before reacting impulsively.
- Resiliency: We teach coping strategies to help you bounce back from emotional challenges, building long-term emotional strength. For instance, an adult managing work stress by using relaxation techniques like deep breathing and mindfulness, learned in therapy, can approach challenges with greater composure and confidence.
- Positive Mindset: We foster a positive outlook by focusing on growth and personal development. A great example is a child celebrating small wins in their emotional regulation journey—like successfully remaining calm during a frustrating situation—enhancing their confidence and perseverance for future challenges.
- Improved Self-Esteem: We work together to build your confidence and self-worth, so you can navigate life with a sense of empowerment. For example, a teenager gaining confidence in managing anxiety at school can boost their self-esteem, enabling them to participate more fully in social situations and feel more comfortable in their own skin.
These core values are at the heart of our work together, and our commitment is to help you develop the tools you need for emotional well-being and lasting personal growth.
