Anger Mgmt
Integrity Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist
Anger is often the result of deep injustices. While the anger you feel may be justified, holding onto it is not healthy. It can eat away at a person like a cancer. By learning how to establish healthy boundaries in life and to forgive those who hurt you, you can live a happy life free of anger.

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.

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.

Gregor Nathanael Schwarz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I specialize in treating anger and emotional dysregulation, helping children and adults move beyond explosive cycles to develop lasting, healthy responses to frustration. Drawing on my post-doctoral training in a program dedicated to externalizing problems, I utilize evidence-based frameworks—including CBT, DBT-informed skills, and behavioral management—to help clients identify physiological triggers, tolerate distress, and implement constructive communication. Whether we are addressing complex behavioral outbursts or chronic irritability, I provide a compassionate, data-driven approach that empowers you to regain emotional control, repair relationships, and navigate life’s challenges with greater stability and confidence.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
While there are often mental components to anger you'll want to address with a talk therapist, there's also a physical component that we can work on using somatic approaches:
Out of control anger is often your nervous system's "fight" response kicking in so intensely that it's hard to keep your cool. Anger serves an important purpose, but we want to know that we can still stay connected to our best selves even while we are angry.
We can use body-focused techniques to be able to recognize when anger is about to kick in, and to teach your body new ways of responding to that anger. For example, you may find yourself saying to me "I noticed I was getting hot and agitated, so I excused myself for a couple minutes."
You may find yourself able to focus your energy much more quickly than you used to, to come back focused and goal oriented. You may still feel 'mad' but it may be anger that is working for you, in alignment with your values.
