Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
People are often afraid of anger and try hard to suppress it. Doing so only causes them to "blow" in angry outbursts and, by not addressing it and learning how to manage it, they just continue to suppress > increase the pressure > blow up in anger > spend time and effort trying to undo the hurt caused others by the blowup. There is a better way! Anger is a normal and natural emotion and we need it. But we also need to learn how to manage it and I can help you with that. Stop fearing your anger and start harnessing it for good and managing it so you don't do harm to yourself and others.

Alton Wampler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
From an IFS perspective, anger often comes from parts trying to protect you from hurt, injustice, or fear of being overlooked. By noticing and listening to these angry parts without judgment, you can understand the underlying emotions driving their intensity. When your Self leads, these parts can express themselves safely, allowing you to respond with clarity rather than reactive aggression.

Natalie Campbell
Psychologist, PsyD; LLC
I often refer to these feelings as the "Itchy Bitchies." Anger is a healthy emotion that is often overlooked. However, many of us never learned how to use it as an ally or develop positive coping skills. It's important to recognize the difference between the feeling of anger itself and our reactions or responses to it. Thankfully, these reactions can be learned and rewired!

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Our anger management counseling focuses on helping individuals recognize the signs of anger and develop effective strategies to cope with and express this powerful emotion constructively. Understanding that anger can significantly impact relationships, work life, and overall well-being, we provide a supportive environment where clients can explore the roots of their anger and learn to manage its expression healthily.
Tailored Strategies for Managing Anger
* Self-awareness Techniques: Through the use of techniques like mindfulness and self-reflection, we guide individuals in identifying the triggers and situational factors that lead to anger. Enhanced self-awareness makes it possible to anticipate and prepare for potentially infuriating situations.
* Cognitive-behavioral Therapy (CBT): A core component of our approach involves cognitive-behavioral therapy, which enables individuals to understand the thought processes that underpin anger and to develop healthier thinking patterns. By altering these thoughts, clients can change their emotional responses and behavioral outcomes.
* Communication Skills Training: As poor communication often exacerbates anger issues, we emphasize enhancing interpersonal skills. This includes learning assertive communication techniques that enable individuals to express their needs and emotions clearly and respectfully, without falling back on aggressive or passive-aggressive behaviors.
* Stress Reduction Techniques: Clients are equipped with techniques to reduce stress, such as deep breathing exercises, physical activity, or relaxation strategies. By lowering overall stress levels, individuals can better control their emotional responses, including anger.
* Problem-solving Skills: We work to strengthen problem-solving skills to help clients address the issues that trigger their anger in more effective ways. This includes focusing on identifying solutions rather than dwelling on problems.
* Group Therapy Sessions: For some, understanding and observing that others face similar challenges with anger can be incredibly reassuring and enlightening. Group sessions provide a forum for sharing experiences and strategies, further aiding the learning process.
Goals of Anger Management Therapy
Our objective is to empower individuals not just to manage their anger, but to transform it into a positive force that drives change rather than destruction. By the end of therapy, clients are better equipped to handle life’s frustrations without lashing out, leading to improved relationships, greater personal satisfaction, and a more balanced life.
If anger is affecting your life and relationships, reach out to us. Together, we can explore the root causes of your anger and provide you with the tools to manage it effectively.

Washington Psychological Wellness
Counselor/Therapist
Anger is a normal, healthy emotion that can be used to communicate important boundaries and needs. Anger becomes unhealthy when it reaches a level of an out-of-control and all-consuming rage. Maladaptive anger can have a lasting detrimental impact on one’s relationships, work, and overall mental well-being. At Washington Psychological Wellness, our therapists work to help you understand the core mechanisms of your anger. Often, anger is a manifestation of a repressed feeling, such as deep sadness or shame. Your therapist will provide you the safe space needed to process, explore, and work through your anger to eventually replace learned maladaptive emotional dysregulation patterns with more adaptive ways of communicating. We aim to teach emotional regulation and adaptive communication patterns. Washington Psychological Wellness is currently accepting new clients. Telehealth (online) therapy services are available. Call now to schedule your appointment!

Gail Eaves
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, NCC, LPC
Anger management is not the absence of disturbing emotions; rather, it is controlling impulsive aggressive anger outbursts. Learning anger management strategies is a worthwhile process. I will educate you how to use techniques to control anger related flare-ups, by helping you to recognize signs of anger and how to channel anger emotions toward a positive anger management outcome.

Anger Management begins in thought changing and impulse control. Built up anger does not serve the individual. I encourage people to explore why they are angry and learn how to suffer less with their anger.

SONYA L ALLEN
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CCTP
Anger can feel like it is coming out of nowhere. Many feel that they go from 0-60 without warning. Assistance in slowing things down can be helpful in strengthening insight into why an individual is triggered and how them might better respond to normal life stressors.
