Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Anger, frustration, rage, and reactivity overall, can make a person feel frustrated and powerless; when we have emotional outbursts of any kind they can feel so all-encompassing and make us feel like we are not in control of feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. In working with clients on their emotions I aim to primarily promote an understanding of why our emotional outbursts occur; once this has been established we begin to work on how to manage, mitigate, or change how these outbursts occur, or why we feel the way that we feel in the first place.

Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Anger can sometimes feel like it takes over before you have a chance to choose how you want to respond. In therapy, we can explore what sits underneath anger, including stress, fear, shame, hurt, trauma, or unmet needs. I help clients build awareness of their triggers, strengthen emotional regulation, and respond to difficult situations in ways that feel more grounded and aligned with their values.

Anger can be a difficult emotion for many of us to deal with. It is important to understand that it is not wrong to feel anger and in fact, anger can be a very healthy emotion. In therapy, we work together to first understand the source of your anger and why it shows up in possibly triggering ways. We can then work to find healthier ways to express anger and build better relationships. I also would like to empower you to feel better about your anger by not having to feel guilty about it.

Semra Lamky, Emotional Peace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), MACP, Bsc
I support individuals in understanding and managing anger in healthy, constructive ways. Anger is a natural emotion, but when it feels overwhelming or begins to impact relationships, work, or self-esteem, it’s essential to explore what lies beneath it. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care, I help clients identify triggers, develop emotional regulation skills, and build deeper self-awareness. Together, we work toward responding—rather than reacting—to difficult emotions, creating space for more balance, connection, and personal growth.

Tangled Minds Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
I specialize in working with men with anger management issues, and have extensive experience when men have domestic violence charges. Anger, especially in relationships is fixable if we can understand it. Often it's rooted in deep feelings of fear, being unheard, feeling like things aren't fair, or not feeling respected. All these things are okay and normal to feel! The pathway to anger and violence however simply doesn't work in the long term.
We learn to recognize our trigger points, calm our nervous systems, challenge our thought patterns, and create new, healthy behavior patterns. This can look like a lot of things. Sometimes it's taking space, sometimes it's communicating our needs or anger in a healthy way, sometimes it's setting better boundaries. Sometimes it's leaving the relationship or work setting. When we see anger as an indicator that something isn't right, we can learn to respect it, work with it, and channel it into healthy change.

Tanya Beach
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP (Qualifying)
When we experience recurrent anger that feels overwhelming and overpowering, we can find ourselves feeling out of control and ashamed. Through self-exploration, we can start to uncover the underlying emotions that are fueling the anger as anger tends to show up when something deeper within us needs attention and processing, often emotions that stem from past experiences, unmet needs, or ignored boundaries. By working to identify the root causes of our anger, we can begin to understand them in a more meaningful and productive way, since processing buried emotions, or unexpressed needs can be incredibly healing. Over time, this awareness can also help to transform how we relate or react to anger and how to approach situations with more clarity and self-compassion. Book a free 15-minute consultation with me to see if I’m the right fit for you.

Matthew Pitts
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology
Wherever your anger comes from, we can work on understanding it better and seek healing together. While anger is a normal, human emotion, it doesn't have to control and direct your life. Let's explore gaining a better understanding of your anger triggers, why you get angry, and ways of reacting on your own terms. For example, being assertive doesn't mean you have to be angry too. I offer a safe space where you can express yourself and be heard, and I bring an empathic but analytical style. If this resonates with you, reach out for a free Zoom consultation.

Delphine Amer
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., Registered Psychotherapist
Anger can be so limiting and often causes problems in our relationships with others. It is so difficult to feel wound up and ready to explode all the time. Often, underneath the anger lie multiple emotions; sadness, guilt, shame and other limiting drivers. The good news is, there are many strategies and tools available to manage anger. I provide psychoeducation about the window of tolerance and the ABC's of anger; enabling clients to recognize triggers (cognitive, specific events and situations and somatic symptoms). Together, we will explore the roots of your anger and you will learn how to harness your own internal wisdom to manage difficult thoughts and feelings that drive anger. Take the journey with me and get the tools you deserve to live the life you want to live.

Barbara Freedman
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor
Anger I love working with anger as I view it as a strong survival response which helps us persevere in the face of life's sometimes unfortunate and unpredictable outcomes. I have created a workshop for those experiencing anger management issues, explaining all aspects of anger, including how to deal with this complex emotion. Anger is a secondary emotion meaning there are other primary feelings which lie beneath it. I often explain this concept to children through the illustration of an iceberg with anger placed on the top. Underneath this iceberg resides such feelings as shame , fear, and pain, which I help clients to access and work through experientially. One tool which I have designed and named “Anger Busting" encourages the client to employ such concepts as such as behavior reduction and response prevention to manage their emotions when they are provoked. In addition, assertiveness techniques along with cognitive behavioral techniques offer clients more of a chance to manage their frustration in such a way that it ensures the likelihood of their being taken seriously, and having their needs met. I have also engaged many children in art and play activities involving their difficult emotions to teach them to deal with these more creatively.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
