Anger itself is not inherently a destructive force. If understood and accepted, people can work through their discontent in ways that help them feel appreciated even when upset.

Danielle Keys at Headway
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.S.ED, LCPC
I prefer to call anger management "Emotion Management". Emotions are the driving force behind behavior, therefore it is important to know how you experience all of your emotions and how they influence your actions. for this, I utilize integrative approaches to address contributing factors to anger such as family history, trauma, sudden life transitions, etc. We will use CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness practices to build healthy connection with your emotions.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In my practice, I help patients with anger management issues by utilizing a comprehensive and personalized approach tailored to their unique needs. I begin with a thorough assessment to understand the root causes of their anger and its impact on their lives. Education is provided to help patients recognize the triggers and physiological signs of anger. Therapies such as Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are employed to address negative thought patterns and develop healthier responses to anger-inducing situations. Mindfulness and relaxation techniques are taught to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation. I also offer strategies for effective communication and conflict resolution to help patients express their feelings constructively. Ongoing support and follow-up ensure continuous progress and adjustment of therapeutic strategies. This comprehensive approach aims to empower patients to manage their anger effectively, improve their relationships, and lead more balanced lives.

Subconscious Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, C.Ht.
Anger is a natural emotion, but when it becomes reactive or overwhelming, it can impact relationships and daily life. Hypnotherapy helps address the subconscious triggers behind anger, supporting calmer responses and better emotional regulation. Using techniques like visualization and desensitization, sessions focus on reducing stress reactivity and building long-term emotional resilience.

Michael Keigher
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Anger isn’t the enemy — it’s information. I work with clients to understand what’s underneath their anger, how to express it without burning bridges, and how to build a relationship with it that feels empowering instead of explosive.

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.
