Dr. David Leibovitz
Psychologist, Psy.D.
A big motivator for change in anger clients is the recognition of the costs of anger/aggression. Often there are severe consequences to clients' anger issues including problematic or lost relationships, problems at work, legal issues, and others. Clients need to understand that what they have been doing to cope with anger has not worked for them. Chances are their methods have actually driven them away from the very things that are most meaningful to them. This recognition sets the stage for behavioral change. Additionally, anticipation of consequences is a powerful management tool.
We teach basic principles through psychoeducation early in the treatment process. For instance, it is important to note that anger is normal feeling. However, this normal feeling can turn problematic when anger becomes aggressive behavior.
There are two different types of aggression that I want to discuss: passive anger and aggressive anger.
Passive anger tends to be expressed with manipulation, secretive behavior, self-critical thoughts, suicidal ideation, and other modes. Passive anger is often not recognized because there are no apparent outbursts or exhibitions.
The more widely recognized form of anger problem, aggressive anger,has very different symptoms, such as demonstrated acting out, revenge seeking behavior, violence, and other forms.
In my anger treatment methodology, I target 4 main areas of aggression.
Physical aggression toward others (e.g., physical fights and altercations).
Verbal aggression toward others (e.g., yelling, screaming, arguments, threats)
Aggression toward property (e.g., breaking things, throwing things, punching holes in walls)
Aggression toward oneself, or aggression turned inward. This is the realm of self injurers such as self-injury (e.g., cutting, suicide attempts). These people often say "I'm not angry, I'm just depressed".
Another concept in anger treatment is the recognition that aggression is a choice we make. I want to help my clients and group members begin to develop a sense of responsibility as well as an internal locus of control. Also we will practice being empathic, that is, understanding situations from others perspectives, stepping out of our own shoes.
Another portion of treatment is the recognition that anger is almost always a secondary emotion. There are numerous underlying "primary emotions" that drive anger. These include fear, shame, guilt, frustration, feeling disrespected, hurt from abuse, and many others. The work we do on the primary emotions is important for a couple of reasons:
We begin to process some inner conflicts and painful experiences, even early in life, that have contributed to our personality development, our view of ourselves, and the way we conceptualize relationships and the world around us.
We glean insight into our own personal sensitivities, or triggers, so that we become aware of warning signs, then let off steam by means of communication or stress reduction activities, before we explode.
Another important aspect of anger management is addressing the tendency of many clients to hold onto bitterness and hostility for an unhealthy period of time. This has many negative consequences on the person's physical health and often keeps patients in a stuck position. We need to learn acceptance through forgiveness (for ourselves, not the other person) through mindfulness skills practice empathy training, behavioral techniques, and values clarification.

Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
We all experience anger. However, it can become problematic when we have not processed unresolved traumatic experiences from our past and/or experience anxiety and/or depression. This can lead to feelings of resentment and unhealthy relationships. Together, we can uncover the source to your anger, heal from past experiences by working on forgiveness and learn strategies to help you cope more effectively so you can find a sense of peace.

Peter D. Ruffini
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II
Anger in men is often a signal, not the root problem. I work with men whose anger shows up as irritability, outbursts, shutdown, or relational damage—often tied to stress, trauma, shame, or long-standing emotional suppression. Therapy focuses on understanding what’s driving the anger, strengthening emotional regulation, and building control that holds under pressure. This is results-oriented work—not generic coping strategies.

Anger is a completely normal emotion, but when it starts blowing up your relationships, costing you at work, or making you feel out of control, it’s usually masking a lot of deeper stress. We will work together to get under the hood of those explosive moments, identifying your physical triggers before you hit a boiling point. I'll help you build practical, real-time tools to cool down the nervous system storm so you can choose how to respond rather than just reacting.

Guy J Iacono
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anger is not the problem. How it gets expressed, and what it costs you, often is. For many men, anger shows up as the most visible symptom of something deeper: chronic stress, unmet expectations, feelings of disrespect, or years of pushing things down without a real outlet. It can damage relationships, create problems at work, and leave you feeling like you are not in control of yourself.
Therapy for anger management is not about learning to suppress what you feel. It is about understanding where it comes from, recognizing the patterns that escalate it, and building the skills to respond rather than react. We look at triggers, physical cues, communication habits, and the beliefs underneath the behavior.
My approach is direct and practical. We identify what is actually driving the anger, develop concrete strategies for managing it in real time, and work on the relationship and communication patterns that tend to make things worse. Clients leave sessions with tools they can actually use, not just insight about why they struggle.
If anger is affecting your relationships, your career, or your sense of who you are, this work can help. I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to talk about what you are dealing with and whether we might be a good fit.
