Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
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.

Dr. Monika Sharma
Psychologist, PsyD
Anger attempts to protect us when something feels threatening or unjust. It can be extremely constructive when we recognize it and are thoughtful with it...effectively communicating our needs, fostering better understanding in our relationships, recognizing imbalances of power, and bringing about change. But can also be destructive when we don't understand what the anger is trying to protect, the degree to which the threat is real, and how to effectively influencing change while protecting the people and things important to us.
I will help you explore your anger without judgment to help you better understand the needs, values, and vulnerabilities that underly the invitation for anger. I will also teach you strategies to slow down your reactivity and learn to be intentional with your responses, instead.
I will teach you how to be curious about your uncomfortable feelings such as anger, anxiety, fear, sadness, loneliness, and overwhelm. This involves learning to build tolerance for uncomfortable feelings because they won't actually hurt us; approach these feelings without judgment; poke at them and examine them and see what lies within them; and then decide how we want to use these feelings as a compass to guide us toward those things that truly matter. You will feel empowered to be the master of your feelings, not a puppet to them.

Difficulty controlling anger often stems from a desire to suppress or control anger, which oftentimes will backfire. I work with clients to understand and validate their feelings of anger, while learning how to respond to anger effectively.

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.

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.

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.

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.
