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.

Excessive anger and negative emotional reactivity can get in the way of healthy relationships and balanced living. I work with people to better understand these feelings and reactions while learning to redirect them in healthier ways.

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.

In addition to gaining insight into the internal and external triggers unique to the individual, it is important to understand the underlying beliefs and thoughts that lead to anger and the behavior associated with it.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in anger management, my approach to treatment is centered on understanding the underlying causes and triggers of anger while equipping individuals with practical strategies to manage their emotions constructively. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques, I help clients identify negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms. By fostering self-awareness and teaching skills such as assertive communication and problem-solving, I empower individuals to express their emotions effectively and navigate conflict situations with confidence. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of stress management techniques and relaxation exercises to prevent anger escalation. My goal is to support individuals in gaining control over their emotions, improving relationships, and enhancing overall well-being.
