Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-S, NCC, CCMHC
Anger becomes a problem when its expression starts costing you — in your relationships, your work, or even legally. Often, the anger itself isn't the real issue; it's a signal pointing to something underneath. Together, we'll work to identify what's driving it and help you regain control over reactions you don't want. Stressful situations and difficult people are inevitable, but expressing what you feel in steadier, less reactive ways is a skill you can build. Depending on what you need, that might mean developing greater assertiveness, finding more acceptance, or making changes in your life that are feeding the frustration.

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.

Akron's identity as the 'Rubber City' — once the world capital of tire manufacturing — has given way to a post-industrial economy navigating transformation, and therapists here frequently address the long-term psychological effects of deindustrialization: economic stress, community grief, and the identity challenges of a workforce that has had to reinvent itself across generations. The city is home to the University of Akron and has a growing health sciences and polymer science sector, creating a more economically diverse population than its industrial reputation suggests. Summa Health and Cleveland Clinic Akron General provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community concentrated in West Akron, Fairlawn, and the Highland Square neighborhood. Akron's significant Black community and the city's ongoing recovery from decades of economic decline shape a therapy culture in which community resilience and racial equity are recurring clinical themes.
