Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I approach anger management with a holistic perspective, integrating psychological principles with Christian values and teachings. Drawing upon biblical wisdom, I emphasize the importance of self-control, forgiveness, and seeking God's guidance in managing anger. Through therapeutic techniques such as cognitive-behavioral strategies, I will help you to identify triggers, understand root causes, and develop healthier responses to anger. Prayer and reflection on scripture are incorporated to foster spiritual growth and resilience. Additionally, I encourage you to explore forgiveness as a transformative tool, aligning with Christian teachings on reconciliation and letting go of resentment. The goal is to guide individuals towards a balanced and constructive approach to anger that aligns with their faith while promoting emotional well-being.

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.

Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you’ve ever found yourself reacting in anger and then thinking, “Why did I do that… that’s not who I want to be,” you’re not alone. You may feel frustrated with how quickly things escalate, or discouraged that despite your best intentions, the same patterns keep repeating—at home, at work, or in your relationships.
I help clients understand and change the patterns that drive anger—not just manage it on the surface. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we identify the thoughts that fuel emotional escalation and replace them with more balanced, effective ways of thinking. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we work at a deeper level to shift automatic reactions so you can respond with greater calm and control. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you stay grounded and act in alignment with your values, even in challenging moments.
What’s often missing isn’t awareness—you likely already know when your anger is a problem. What’s missing is a reliable way to interrupt the reaction in real time and choose a different response. Without that, anger continues to feel automatic, and the cycle repeats.
The fact that you’re reading this means you’re already ready for something different. If you’re willing to learn a new way of responding, I can help you develop the tools to stay in control, communicate more effectively, and feel confident in how you handle even the most difficult situations.

Camille Larsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LAC
Do you unintentionally sabotage yourself from being heard and understood by overshadowing with anger? I can help with learning how to get your needs met without putting others off.
I have extensive experience with anger management in private practice and in leading court-ordered anger management groups. Underneath anger is usually hurt and/or fear but comes out in a way that feels powerful in the moment and problematic in the long run. I can help you express your needs in ways that have much better chance of getting met.

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.

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.

Kaylie Groenhout
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, EMDRIA Certified Therapist
Anger is often a misunderstood guardian, acting as a fire that protects much deeper, more vulnerable hurts. In our work together, we look closely at the roots of your anger management concerns to understand what your system is trying to protect. By combining relational insight with tools to settle the nervous system, we help you trade reactive outbursts for calm, clear communication.

I work with individuals to clarify recurring patterns, reduce distress, and cultivate a more contented life—including when anger is part of the picture. The process is depth-informed and collaborative: we understand what is happening above and below the surface and turn that into workable steps. The aim is durable change—less reactivity, more choice, and relationships that can repair and grow.

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.

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.
