Mr. Dan Pugel
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
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.

Dr. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
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.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I approach anger management with a holistic perspective, integrating psychological principles with Christian values and teachings. Drawing upon biblical wisdom, I emphasize the importance of self-control, forgiveness, and seeking God's guidance in managing anger. Through therapeutic techniques such as cognitive-behavioral strategies, I will help you to identify triggers, understand root causes, and develop healthier responses to anger. Prayer and reflection on scripture are incorporated to foster spiritual growth and resilience. Additionally, I encourage you to explore forgiveness as a transformative tool, aligning with Christian teachings on reconciliation and letting go of resentment. The goal is to guide individuals towards a balanced and constructive approach to anger that aligns with their faith while promoting emotional well-being.

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.

Lexington sits at the center of Kentucky's Bluegrass region with a character distinct from Louisville — the University of Kentucky drives a significant student and young professional population alongside a traditional agricultural and equestrian community. The city's proximity to Appalachia means therapists frequently encounter the mental health effects of the region's opioid crisis, intergenerational poverty, and community grief tied to economic decline. UK HealthCare — the University of Kentucky's academic medical system — provides institutional mental health resources, with private practices concentrated in Chevy Chase, Beaumont, and the Hamburg area. Lexington's horse industry also supports a niche clientele of equestrian athletes and industry professionals navigating performance pressure and career identity.
