Anger Management
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in anger management, my approach to treatment is centered on understanding the underlying causes and triggers of anger while equipping individuals with practical strategies to manage their emotions constructively. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques, I help clients identify negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms. By fostering self-awareness and teaching skills such as assertive communication and problem-solving, I empower individuals to express their emotions effectively and navigate conflict situations with confidence. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of stress management techniques and relaxation exercises to prevent anger escalation. My goal is to support individuals in gaining control over their emotions, improving relationships, and enhancing overall well-being.

Eric Weinstein
Life Coach, Hypnosis and NLP, shamanic healing, Energy Psychology (including "tapping"), Voice Dialogue
I understand anger, the effect it has on one’s life, and how it affects the people around you. When clients see me as a peaceful guy, they’re seeing the result of a lot of healing work (with more to do).
I’ve had considerable success helping clients with anger problems, perhaps because I believe anger management is secondary to healing. I believe most people who are angry are like volcanos. Even though the anger that shows on the surface in the present is hot enough to burn the client and everyone around him or her, there’s even more heat and energy “under ground” – in the past.
So I usually focus on healing the past first – without having to spend a lot of time talking about it. Once that unresolved pain and anger is mostly dissolved, clients don’t get triggered as easily or as forcefully.
The next focus is on reducing everyday frustrations. When the little things don't bug you as much, you'll be cooler under pressure and when bigger problems come up. , and have enough presence of mind to use anger management tools instead of losing control.
Note: I don’t do court-mandated anger management. If you live in Fairfax County, call my colleague Gary Niki at 202-241-0944.

I approach anger management with a holistic perspective, integrating psychological principles with Christian values and teachings. Drawing upon biblical wisdom, I emphasize the importance of self-control, forgiveness, and seeking God's guidance in managing anger. Through therapeutic techniques such as cognitive-behavioral strategies, I will help you to identify triggers, understand root causes, and develop healthier responses to anger. Prayer and reflection on scripture are incorporated to foster spiritual growth and resilience. Additionally, I encourage you to explore forgiveness as a transformative tool, aligning with Christian teachings on reconciliation and letting go of resentment. The goal is to guide individuals towards a balanced and constructive approach to anger that aligns with their faith while promoting emotional well-being.
