Anger Management
Rachel Fields
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Is your anger out of control? Does your rage take over? Do you say or do things you later regret? Together, we can explore your anger and get to know it better. Often times anger and rage are messengers that we are not getting something we need. I'm not afraid of or controlled by anger and you don't have to be either.

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.

In addition to gaining insight into the internal and external triggers unique to the individual, it is important to understand the underlying beliefs and thoughts that lead to anger and the behavior associated with it.

David Redbord
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MPH, LPCC
Anger often happens when our boundaries are being violated. It gives us the energy to speak up and ask for the change we’re looking for.
When anger becomes rage, it often tells us that what’s happening now is reminding us of repeated boundary violations from our past that we haven’t resolved.
By expressing rage and anger in a safe setting, and learning how to speak up and ask for what we want and need, we can often drastically decrease anger.
I'd welcome the opportunity to help you safely express your anger and develop the skills to notice what you're wanting and needing and then to ask for that so you can decrease your anger going forward.
