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!

Denise Jones
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, LCSW-C
Anger can be brought on by any number of circumstances, but it is most easily identified when a client's response to an upsetting event greatly exceeds the reaction needed to effectively address it. Feelings of injustice, jealousy, or fatigue are among the triggers that can cause anger. EMDR provides opportunities for clients with anger management issues to observe their responses from a new perspective. (In some cases, outside referrals may still need to be considered.)

Lindsey Luedtke
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
With anger, we will get to know this emotion as a protective energy in your system that is helping you in some way. Anger is often shamed and unwanted in society, but once we understand how it is trying to help you, we can help this part communicate its concerns in a different way.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Anger is often misunderstood. Rather than seeing it as the problem, we'll become curious about what lies beneath it—whether that's hurt, fear, shame, disappointment, or unmet needs. By understanding the purpose anger has been serving, we can begin developing more flexible and effective ways of responding in difficult moments. Therapy isn't about getting rid of anger; it's about learning to use it wisely instead of letting it take over.

Alison Huang - Grow Your Mind Psychotherapy
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Anger is a strong emotion and it usually gets triggered when we feel like we are being attacked. Hence, we tend to have a "fight or flight" response. When we react to anger too quickly, we may do something impulsively as we didn't think in advance. Hence, we may express anger inappropriately which can affect our relationship to people. I am specialized in helping people with anger issues. I use CBT and mindfulness to help clients identify anger-provoking triggers and teach them techniques to descale the tension.

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.

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.

Dr. Monika Sharma
Psychologist, PsyD
Anger attempts to protect us when something feels threatening or unjust. It can be extremely constructive when we recognize it and are thoughtful with it...effectively communicating our needs, fostering better understanding in our relationships, recognizing imbalances of power, and bringing about change. But can also be destructive when we don't understand what the anger is trying to protect, the degree to which the threat is real, and how to effectively influencing change while protecting the people and things important to us.
I will help you explore your anger without judgment to help you better understand the needs, values, and vulnerabilities that underly the invitation for anger. I will also teach you strategies to slow down your reactivity and learn to be intentional with your responses, instead.
I will teach you how to be curious about your uncomfortable feelings such as anger, anxiety, fear, sadness, loneliness, and overwhelm. This involves learning to build tolerance for uncomfortable feelings because they won't actually hurt us; approach these feelings without judgment; poke at them and examine them and see what lies within them; and then decide how we want to use these feelings as a compass to guide us toward those things that truly matter. You will feel empowered to be the master of your feelings, not a puppet to them.
