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.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Anger can be a difficult emotion for many people - you may have received messages throughout your life about what is or isn't "okay" to feel, or you may feel at a loss of how to navigate the strong waves of anger when it hits. We work on understanding the role and function of anger, while working to reshape any messages that may be keeping you stuck. Building comfort and flexibility with anger is all about building our awareness of our cues; reshaping our relationship with anger; growing our regulation skills; and practicing how we can let our anger inform how we choose to respond, rather than being driven by the anger itself.

When you have an Anger Management issue, the smallest thing can set you off. You are always on the defensive, feeling that everyone is out to get you, and those around you fear your outbursts. You, and your loved ones, do not have to live this way any longer.
Some signs that you may have an Anger Management issue are:
You are constantly angry
You are always on the defensive
Every little annoyance makes you mad
You become verbally or physically aggressive when angry
You are unable to control your outbursts
Among other techniques, our trained therapists will work with you, using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) strategies. These strategies will help you identify irrational, destructive thoughts or beliefs that are driving your anger and reframe them in a rational and positive way.
Our goal is to help you recognize when you are becoming angry, take action to calm down and to manage situation differently. We do not want to eliminate your anger, as this is a normal and healthy human emotion, but to have you express your thoughts and feelings is a more positive and constructive way.

Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

Chris Scarberry
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I do evidenced-based work informed by CBT and DBT modalities. As mental health professionals, we find that many of the difficulties people face with managing anger have to do with the relationship between thoughts/feelings and behavior. It is necessary to look at what other emotions anger masks, and work on becoming more mindful of one's physical evidence of becoming angry so that different choices can be made sooner once one becomes visibly angry. Often, I meet with people who feel out of control in their lives and become angry when they are also hurt by the way they are treated by others. Sometimes, people were not allowed to sit with or express their feelings as a child and this leads to their not knowing what they are feeling at all, or they try to numb anger with substances or other compulsive behavior. When I work with clients on anger management, I always have them start with tracking their angry thoughts and branch out from here since that tells us what their underlying beliefs and fears are, whether the anger is directed inward or outward, and what purpose allowing themselves to be socially inappropriate with the anger may serve in accomplishing often unconscious goals or social outcomes.
