Length & cohort
12, 26, or 52 weeks, matching your court order. Cohort-based — same group of adults week to week. Open-enrolment "drop-in" classes don't produce real change; we don't run them.

Conditions we treatCourt-Mandated Anger Management in Los Angeles
If a court has ordered you to complete an anger management program, you're in the right place. We've been running court-compliant programs for years. The paperwork is solid. The work is real. We don't moralize about how you got here.

Documentation that holds up
However you got here
You're in the right place.
We're not interested in adding to whatever has already been said about how you ended up needing this program. The court has done that part.
Our job
Is the work itself.
And the documentation that proves you did it. Both are taken seriously here. Neither comes with a lecture.
You'll be in the same room
As voluntary clients.
The conversation between those two postures — court-mandated and voluntary, sceptical and curious — is part of what makes the work go.
The rest of this page
Covers the practical.
How the program is structured, what completion documentation looks like, what to expect week to week. Attorneys and referring professionals start at the bottom.
Court-mandated clients show up at our door for a lot of reasons — DUI-adjacent diversion, domestic violence-related orders, a workplace incident that crossed a legal line, an outburst in public that got farther than you meant it to. The judge or your attorney has told you what duration of program you need, and you need a place that will deliver it correctly.
This is something we do every week. Programs run 12, 26, or 52 weeks. Sessions are documented. Attendance is tracked. Completion certificates are formatted to satisfy the requirements of California courts and probation departments. We don't cut corners and we don't pad the program with filler. The work itself is identical to the work our voluntary clients do — because that's the point.
You're an adult, not a case. We meet you that way. How we work
The work itself
How therapy can help
Court-ordered work, completed properly, with documentation that holds up. The program is structured around three things, and we take all three seriously.
Curriculum
CBT-based, with components from ACT and DBT. Topics include trigger awareness, escalation patterns, communication and repair, accountability without shame — the same evidence-based work voluntary clients receive.
Documentation
Attendance logged each session. Signed sheets and a completion certificate including program duration, hours, dates, and the supervising clinician's license number — formatted to satisfy California courts and probation officers.
What we ask of you
Show up. Be on time. Engage. We don't require you to have grand insights every week, but we do require that you take the work seriously. Two unexcused absences in a row trigger a check-in conversation.
If you came here voluntarily
You're welcome in the same group. Most of our cohorts have a mix of voluntary and court-mandated clients. The mix is part of why the work goes deep: voluntary clients often arrive with curiosity, court-mandated clients often arrive with skepticism, and the conversation between those two postures is where most of the meaningful learning happens.
