Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
If you are having difficulties with anger management, I can help! We all experience angry feelings and it is a normal and healthy to have these feelings. Anger management is not simply about some techniques such as deep breathing, or going for a walk. These techniques can be helpful, but we will also look for deeper understand things that trigger your anger. Doing so will provide opportunity to address your anger and possibly heal past wounds. These past wounds can bubble up and take control in powerful ways in attempt to be heard / understood. On top of all this, we can find constructive ways to express our anger that will make us more likely to be heard and our feelings respected.

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.

Polaris Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
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.

Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
Michael views anger as a powerful signal that often masks deeper vulnerabilities like hurt or fear, focusing on understanding its origins to foster genuine emotional regulation.
Anger is frequently an "iceberg emotion," a visible reaction that protects more vulnerable feelings like grief, fear, or a sense of injustice. Drawing on over 35 years of experience, Michael helps clients move beyond simple impulse control to understand the relational and developmental roots of their frustration. By exploring the underlying triggers and the "unconscious scripts" that fuel outbursts, he assists individuals in transforming reactive anger into assertive, constructive communication. This approach doesn't just suppress the flame; it addresses the fuel, leading to more balanced relationships and a greater sense of internal calm.
