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.

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.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
Anger can build quickly and feel hard to control, especially under stress or in certain situations. You may find yourself reacting more intensely than you want, saying things you regret, or struggling to calm down once you’re activated. Over time, this can affect your relationships, work, and overall sense of control.
Our work focuses on helping you understand what’s driving your reactions and how to respond differently in the moment. You’ll learn practical ways to slow things down, manage intensity, and communicate more effectively.
The goal is to help you stay in control, express yourself clearly, and handle challenging situations without things escalating.
