Anger is a normal emotion yet too often expressed ineffectively and in destructive ways. Anger is often a secondary emotion and is expressed rather than the true emotion. Anger comes in many different packages and is observed in a number of ways.
Aristotle once wrote of anger: "Anybody can become angry, that is easy; but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way, that is not within everybody's power, that is not easy."
There are reasons we sense anger and then act upon the emotion. We are daily challenged in managing anger and how to effectively express it. Counseling helps us better understand this normal emotion and gain the skills of anger management.

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.

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.
