Dr. Robert Nemerovski
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anger is a normal human emotion that warns us that something is being done to us that is threatening, unjust, or gets in the way of getting our needs met. Of course, we can become angry at ourselves for a variety of reasons. Anger by nature is not a “problem” nor does it always require “anger management.” Unfortunately, for many people, anger can become a problem when:
•It makes us feel uncomfortable, “bad,” or out-of-control. Many people were “trained” by their families never to express anger, so they never learned how to understand, tolerate, process, and communicate about the emotion.
•We experience anger more intensely and/or more frequently than we can handle. If our anger becomes “toxic” and gets in the way of living a happy, healthy, productive life, then it deserves to be looked at.
•It leads to problems in communication within relationships. Anger in relationships tends to be a secondary emotion for other, deeper hurts that can be triggered by friends and loved ones. When this happens, communication and empathy suffer which can lead to further problems and pain and strains on our connections with other people.
•Anger triggers impulsive behaviors that limit our happiness and growth, hurt ourselves and others, and can ultimately cause major damage in our lives.
I help people for whom anger has become a problem through developing behavioral and emotional self-awareness, understanding about triggers and underlying causes, and effective coping skills (aka “tools”) that can help them manage their anger reactions in more constructive ways.

Dr. LaQuesha Robinson
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
In my practice, I specialize in anger management, helping individuals understand the root causes of their anger and develop effective strategies to express it healthily and constructively. Anger, while a natural emotion, can often lead to stress, relationship problems, and other life challenges when not managed properly. My approach is centered on empowering you with the tools and insights needed to recognize triggers, control reactions, and communicate feelings in ways that foster positive outcomes. We'll work together to build a personalized plan that incorporates coping mechanisms, relaxation techniques, and communication skills, all aimed at transforming how you handle anger. Whether your goal is to improve personal relationships, enhance workplace dynamics, or simply find inner peace, my practice offers a supportive and understanding environment to guide you on this journey.

Quinn Knox
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, Trauma-Informed
Anger is a great signal that a person's needs are unmet. As someone who has personal and professional experience with anger, eliminating anger isn't the goal, rather identifying triggers and being able to regulate anger in healthy ways is my approach to supporting those dealing with this issue.
