Answers:
I agree with the answer above mine. The cost to you depends greatly on whether or not you have health insurance. If you do, you pay the co-pay which is determined by the type of insurance you have -- HMO vs PPO, etc. A once weekly visit is the norm unless your psychologist advises more frequent sessions. You first need to have a consult with a psychologist who works with teens and young adults. A psychologist will be qualified to help you. If the psychologist is in group practice with a psychiatrist, you can also have prescriptions for medication that will make behavior modification easier for you.

If you are uninsured, this will be tough and pricey but perhaps payments can be arranged. It's worth looking into. Congratulations to you for seeking help with this. That's a big step in the right direction.

Anger Management classes are well and good but may not be the most appropriate means of uncovering and resolving the causes of your anger. You may need individual therapy for that. But by all means investigate those as well.
It depends on if you have insurance or not... then you would just have to pay the co-pay which is normally 10-30 dollars per session. If not it will more than likely cost about 100 - 250 per session. Either way 3 times a week for an extended period would be expensive.
