Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
While there are often mental components to anger you'll want to address with a talk therapist, there's also a physical component that we can work on using somatic approaches:
Out of control anger is often your nervous system's "fight" response kicking in so intensely that it's hard to keep your cool. Anger serves an important purpose, but we want to know that we can still stay connected to our best selves even while we are angry.
We can use body-focused techniques to be able to recognize when anger is about to kick in, and to teach your body new ways of responding to that anger. For example, you may find yourself saying to me "I noticed I was getting hot and agitated, so I excused myself for a couple minutes."
You may find yourself able to focus your energy much more quickly than you used to, to come back focused and goal oriented. You may still feel 'mad' but it may be anger that is working for you, in alignment with your values.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In my practice, I help patients with anger management issues by utilizing a comprehensive and personalized approach tailored to their unique needs. I begin with a thorough assessment to understand the root causes of their anger and its impact on their lives. Education is provided to help patients recognize the triggers and physiological signs of anger. Therapies such as Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are employed to address negative thought patterns and develop healthier responses to anger-inducing situations. Mindfulness and relaxation techniques are taught to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation. I also offer strategies for effective communication and conflict resolution to help patients express their feelings constructively. Ongoing support and follow-up ensure continuous progress and adjustment of therapeutic strategies. This comprehensive approach aims to empower patients to manage their anger effectively, improve their relationships, and lead more balanced lives.

Polaris Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
When you have an Anger Management issue, the smallest thing can set you off. You are always on the defensive, feeling that everyone is out to get you, and those around you fear your outbursts. You, and your loved ones, do not have to live this way any longer.
Some signs that you may have an Anger Management issue are:
You are constantly angry
You are always on the defensive
Every little annoyance makes you mad
You become verbally or physically aggressive when angry
You are unable to control your outbursts
Among other techniques, our trained therapists will work with you, using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) strategies. These strategies will help you identify irrational, destructive thoughts or beliefs that are driving your anger and reframe them in a rational and positive way.
Our goal is to help you recognize when you are becoming angry, take action to calm down and to manage situation differently. We do not want to eliminate your anger, as this is a normal and healthy human emotion, but to have you express your thoughts and feelings is a more positive and constructive way.

Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
If you are having difficulties with anger management, I can help! We all experience angry feelings and it is a normal and healthy to have these feelings. Anger management is not simply about some techniques such as deep breathing, or going for a walk. These techniques can be helpful, but we will also look for deeper understand things that trigger your anger. Doing so will provide opportunity to address your anger and possibly heal past wounds. These past wounds can bubble up and take control in powerful ways in attempt to be heard / understood. On top of all this, we can find constructive ways to express our anger that will make us more likely to be heard and our feelings respected.

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Anger can show up as blowups, shutdowns, or a constant sense of irritation that is hard to shake. We will look closely at what sets it off, what happens in your body when it rises, and what patterns keep it going. Along the way, we will build practical skills for regulation and communication, and we will also make room for the hurt, stress, or frustration that anger is often carrying underneath.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you feel on edge, anxious, irritable, or just can't relax, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats anxiety and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
Michael views anger as a powerful signal that often masks deeper vulnerabilities like hurt or fear, focusing on understanding its origins to foster genuine emotional regulation.
Anger is frequently an "iceberg emotion," a visible reaction that protects more vulnerable feelings like grief, fear, or a sense of injustice. Drawing on over 35 years of experience, Michael helps clients move beyond simple impulse control to understand the relational and developmental roots of their frustration. By exploring the underlying triggers and the "unconscious scripts" that fuel outbursts, he assists individuals in transforming reactive anger into assertive, constructive communication. This approach doesn't just suppress the flame; it addresses the fuel, leading to more balanced relationships and a greater sense of internal calm.

Louis Miller III, Oak Brook Counseling and Wellness
Counselor/Therapist, Attaining CMHC degree, MBK Adler University Member
help clients understand anger as a meaningful emotional signal rather than something to suppress or fear. Our work focuses on identifying triggers, strengthening emotional regulation, and developing healthier ways to express needs, boundaries, and frustration without shame or loss of control. Therapy is collaborative and practical, supporting clients in responding thoughtfully and in being able to "zoom out" rather than reacting impulsively in situations where anger is most present.

If you want to take control of your emotions, including anger management, we can work together to accomplish that goal. You are prepared to get to the bottom of your reactions, to honestly take the risk of understanding 'why' and to learn and relearn your habits that have been happening for soooo long that it feels automatic...then call me - so we can work together to make things better.
