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!

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.

Anger, in the form of self-assertion, self-protection, and boundary creation, can be a useful emotion if properly managed. But inappropriate expression of anger is destructive to relationships and to you life adjustment.

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.

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.

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.
