MeetDr. Carlos Todd,
PhD, LCMHC
- Course creator & instructor, MasteringAnger.com
- Certified anger management specialist
- Author, speaker and educator
Dr. Todd is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 24+ years of clinical experience helping individuals, couples and organizations deal with anger and high-conflict situations.
He created MasteringAnger.com to make professional anger management education accessible anywhere, and developed the curriculum behind every course. More than 50,000 students have used it to meet court, probation and employer requirements.
The Boy Who Ran from Conflict
Dr. Todd grew up surrounded by conflict and domestic violence, and as a boy he learned to avoid confrontation whenever he could.
As an adult he went the other way. He studied conflict closely to understand where anger comes from, how arguments escalate, and how destructive cycles can be interrupted. That search led him to advanced study in counseling, psychology and conflict resolution, and to a career helping other people break the same cycles.
The boy who ran from conflict became the man who ran toward conflict.
