Roland Achtau
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LCADC, ICGC-1, CSAT Candidate
I specialize in anger management since anger can be tied to the roots of many other deeper problems . Anger is a secondary emotion and is a response to hurt. Here at my practice, we try to identify where the hurt resides and how one can best overcome it within a holistic approach.

Full Being Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LPC, LCSW, LAPC
We approach anger as meaningful information—not a flaw or failure. Many individuals seeking anger management are carrying chronic stress, unresolved trauma, systemic pressure, or learned survival responses that show up as irritability, emotional reactivity, or explosive anger. Our work focuses on understanding the root causes of anger and transforming it into healthier, more effective expression.
We support adults, adolescents, and families in developing emotional regulation, impulse control, and communication skills, using trauma-informed and culturally responsive approaches. Clients learn how to recognize triggers, interrupt escalation cycles, and express boundaries and needs without shame or harm to themselves or others.
Anger management at Full Being Services is not about suppressing emotions—it’s about building insight, accountability, and sustainable coping strategies that support healthier relationships, personal growth, and long-term well-being.

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.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Anger can be a difficult emotion for many people - you may have received messages throughout your life about what is or isn't "okay" to feel, or you may feel at a loss of how to navigate the strong waves of anger when it hits. We work on understanding the role and function of anger, while working to reshape any messages that may be keeping you stuck. Building comfort and flexibility with anger is all about building our awareness of our cues; reshaping our relationship with anger; growing our regulation skills; and practicing how we can let our anger inform how we choose to respond, rather than being driven by the anger itself.

Dr. Samira Paul Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
At Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC, we view anger not as a "bad" emotion, but as a powerful signal that a boundary has been crossed or a need is going unmet. Our approach to anger management is rooted in understanding the underlying triggers often tied to stress, trauma, or cultural pressures that lead to reactive outbursts. Through evidence-based techniques we help you transition from being "controlled by" your anger to "communicating" through it. By building skills in emotional regulation and self-awareness, we empower you to express your needs clearly, resolve family and relationship conflicts with composure, and reclaim a sense of inner peace.

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.

My approach to anger management goes beyond simply controlling outbursts. We explore what your anger is trying to communicate—often about unmet needs or violated boundaries. Therapy helps you understand these triggers and develop healthier, more effective ways to express your emotions and assert yourself constructively.

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.

Difficulty controlling anger often stems from a desire to suppress or control anger, which oftentimes will backfire. I work with clients to understand and validate their feelings of anger, while learning how to respond to anger effectively.

Alexander Beznes
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anger is a double-edged sword in that it can be both clarifying and corrosive. What may have once been an important tool to keep you safe may now be wreaking havoc in your relationships. I hope to understand the root of your anger and what it could be telling you about the circumstances of your life. Ultimately, I want to help you channel your anger and find healthy expression for valid feelings.
