Psychologist, Psy.D.
I help clients understand the triggers and patterns behind their anger and how it affects their thoughts, feelings, and relationships. Together, we practice strategies to manage intense emotions, including distress tolerance skills to stay grounded and interpersonal effectiveness skills to communicate needs assertively. My goal is to help clients respond to challenges with greater control, improve relationships, and develop healthy coping tools that support long-term emotional balance and self-awareness.

Dr. John Monopoli
Psychologist, PhD
Anger is a primary emotion; we all have it, and sometimes we just let it escape our control. We will explore the source of anger and emotions in general, and draw from DBT-based strategies to help harness it more effectively.

Ashley Lynn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MFT, LPC, CAADC
Anger is often about what is underneath, not just losing control. I help clients slow things down, understand their triggers, and learn ways to express needs and emotions without damaging relationships.

Iris Bowen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MBA
Struggling with anger management can be an isolating experience, as it is one that tends to push those we care about away when you may need them most. Anger is often a blanket that protects us from other emotions which may be too difficult to name, or too big to feel. I can work with you to get to the root of your anger, incorporate anger management tools, and have healthier relationships with those you love using both cognitive and somatic strategies.

Dr. Kimberly L. Rehak
Counselor/Therapist, Ed.D., M.A., BCBA-D, CAC, BC-TMH, CCTP, THP, Practitioner/ Specialist.
Anger management strategies are developed in partnership with clients and sometimes the client's families and or other systems of "support" surrounding these individuals. Anger is a very normal emotion that when channeled appropriately can "light a spark" and ignite positive changes. The way we choose to express this anger can make all the difference. Suppressing anger has been found to have deleterious effects on one's mental and physical health and wellness and can also negatively impact the lives of others on their own life paths. Learning to express anger in healthier ways is the goal of anger management and training. In addition, strategies can also be taught to help others learn techniques to de-escalate and disarm/ defuse anger vs. invalidate, provoke, and escalate it, which can lead to other complications in the person's life, as well as the people surrounding that person.

Full Being Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LPC, LCSW, LAPC
We approach anger as meaningful information—not a flaw or failure. Many individuals seeking anger management are carrying chronic stress, unresolved trauma, systemic pressure, or learned survival responses that show up as irritability, emotional reactivity, or explosive anger. Our work focuses on understanding the root causes of anger and transforming it into healthier, more effective expression.
We support adults, adolescents, and families in developing emotional regulation, impulse control, and communication skills, using trauma-informed and culturally responsive approaches. Clients learn how to recognize triggers, interrupt escalation cycles, and express boundaries and needs without shame or harm to themselves or others.
Anger management at Full Being Services is not about suppressing emotions—it’s about building insight, accountability, and sustainable coping strategies that support healthier relationships, personal growth, and long-term well-being.

Michael Bernstein
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Anger is often a "surface emotion" that, when mismanaged, can strain relationships and work life. It manifests not only as aggressive outbursts or disproportionate reactions but also through "shutting down," passive-aggressiveness, or emotional withdrawal. I can help individuals regain control by identifying physical warning signs and triggers, building self-compassion, and developing coping skills to reduce reactivity. By exploring the deeper emotions beneath the surface, clients learn to communicate their needs in a healthy, assertive way rather than through cycles of regret and remorse.

Philadelphia's identity as a historically working-class city with deep neighborhood roots shapes its therapy culture, with demand for therapists who understand economic stress, community violence, and the psychological weight of living in a city marked by stark racial and economic disparities. The city is home to world-class institutions including the University of Pennsylvania Health System, Jefferson Health, and Temple University Hospital, with a strong academic psychiatry and psychology community feeding into its private practice ecosystem. Philadelphia's large Black and Latino populations drive demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the city has a growing network of therapists of color across its diverse neighborhoods. Many practices are accessible via SEPTA, making therapy more reachable for clients across the city without cars.
