Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have worked with individuals in both voluntary and court-ordered anger management treatment. I support those whose anger affects relationships, work, and overall emotional well-being. Drawing on extensive clinical experience providing anger management in community mental health and private practice settings—including facilitating court-ordered and voluntary anger management groups—I incorporate biological and neurological education to help clients understand how anger develops in the brain and nervous system.
Anger is a natural emotional response that often builds from underlying stress, frustration, fear, or feeling unheard or out of control. When the nervous system becomes easily activated, reactions can become quicker and more intense, making it difficult to pause, think clearly, and respond effectively. Together, we explore the emotional and physiological triggers that contribute to anger while building awareness of how quickly the body can shift into a reactive state.
I teach practical skills to regulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, increase impulse control, and improve communication. Clients learn how to recognize early signs of escalation, express needs more effectively, and respond rather than react. My approach is direct, supportive, and nonjudgmental, helping individuals develop greater emotional control, accountability, and more stable, respectful relationships.

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.

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.

Chris Scarberry
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I do evidenced-based work informed by CBT and DBT modalities. As mental health professionals, we find that many of the difficulties people face with managing anger have to do with the relationship between thoughts/feelings and behavior. It is necessary to look at what other emotions anger masks, and work on becoming more mindful of one's physical evidence of becoming angry so that different choices can be made sooner once one becomes visibly angry. Often, I meet with people who feel out of control in their lives and become angry when they are also hurt by the way they are treated by others. Sometimes, people were not allowed to sit with or express their feelings as a child and this leads to their not knowing what they are feeling at all, or they try to numb anger with substances or other compulsive behavior. When I work with clients on anger management, I always have them start with tracking their angry thoughts and branch out from here since that tells us what their underlying beliefs and fears are, whether the anger is directed inward or outward, and what purpose allowing themselves to be socially inappropriate with the anger may serve in accomplishing often unconscious goals or social outcomes.

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.

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.

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.

Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

Paul Sather
Psychologist, PhD
I work on emotional management in general and anger management in particular. Managing anger is challenging in part because anger has a lot of energy in it. It takes skill and practice to direct that energy in a way that is productive rather than destructive.
