About the Trainer

Anita Avedian, M.S., LMFT

For Anita Avedian, professional training is an extension of the work she has spent decades doing with clients, clinicians, organizations, and communities. As Executive Director of Avedian Counseling Center, Anita combines clinical experience with a practical teaching style that helps participants turn psychological concepts into skills they can understand and apply.

Her training work is especially rooted in anger management and emotional regulation. Anita holds the designation of Certified Anger Management Specialist IV and serves as an Authorized Trainer and Anger Management Supervisor through the National Anger Management Association (NAMA). She is also a Diplomat Member of NAMA and provides professional education for counselors seeking to strengthen their knowledge and qualifications in anger management.

Anita is the creator and author of Anger Management Essentials, an educational curriculum developed for learning and teaching practical anger management skills. The program has expanded to include resources for adults, teens, and facilitators, along with editions available in multiple languages, including Spanish, Armenian, and Hebrew.

Her broader professional training experience includes organizational development, employee assistance programs, Critical Incident Stress Debriefing, and Thought Field Therapy. This background allows her to adapt presentations for different settings, from therapist education and professional development to workplace trainings and community speaking engagements.

While Anita leads many of our specialized trainings, Avedian Counseling Center also has therapists available for company presentations, college and university speaking engagements, workshops, and community events. We work to match the speaker and subject matter to the needs of each audience.
