Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, LPC, LMHC, CCPT
All emotions are messengers that inform us that something is off in our internal system. The goal of anger management is to identify the underlying cause for the anger and resolve it through the use of Internal Family Systems. Anger itself is not the problem, but how it is expressed. Prior to using IFS, healthy ways to express anger are taught.

Michael Brustein
Psychologist, Psy.D
The first step in managing anger is identifying when you are experiencing it. I will help you identify the physical, behavioral, cognitive and emotional indicators that will assist you in recognizing your anger. Through mindfulness skills I will help you be more comfortable experiencing anger as you observe it more dispassionately and refrain from acting on it. I will teach you radical acceptance, which is a component of mindfulness. This will reduce the amount you replay angry narratives in your head. Although you will still feel angry the duration of the experience may be shorter and less intense. You will learn how to properly use your anger as a tool for change in a productive way.
Additionally, insight into self-esteem issues, or understanding how past psychological injuries may contribute to anger experiences can be valuable. Often people who are angry about an injustice may not be just responding to the current stressor. Rather, the stressor may link back to core issues that are also getting activated. I will help you gain insight into angry dynamics which will enhance your capacity to distance yourself from them. If your anger is connected to anxiety and fear I will help you learn how to manage the anxiety to offset frustration, irritability or anger

Dr. JD Wright
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
In my practice, I offer a focused approach to anger management, designed to help individuals understand and navigate their emotions effectively. Recognizing that anger often masks underlying feelings and motivations, I work collaboratively with clients to uncover these deeper layers. Our journey together includes learning to identify and challenge unhelpful assumptions, which can be pivotal in reshaping responses to stressful situations. Additionally, I emphasize the development of practical skills for managing stress in the moment, aiding in the cultivation of a more balanced and controlled emotional life. This process is grounded in respect and understanding, providing a safe space for individuals to explore and grow.
