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.

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.

Anger is a symptom and a representation that there is something wrong. This may be a result of the past or and injustice that needs to be acknowledged and worked through. Coping strategies are the first line of defense, as well as becoming more aware.
