Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Our anger management counseling focuses on helping individuals recognize the signs of anger and develop effective strategies to cope with and express this powerful emotion constructively. Understanding that anger can significantly impact relationships, work life, and overall well-being, we provide a supportive environment where clients can explore the roots of their anger and learn to manage its expression healthily.
Tailored Strategies for Managing Anger
* Self-awareness Techniques: Through the use of techniques like mindfulness and self-reflection, we guide individuals in identifying the triggers and situational factors that lead to anger. Enhanced self-awareness makes it possible to anticipate and prepare for potentially infuriating situations.
* Cognitive-behavioral Therapy (CBT): A core component of our approach involves cognitive-behavioral therapy, which enables individuals to understand the thought processes that underpin anger and to develop healthier thinking patterns. By altering these thoughts, clients can change their emotional responses and behavioral outcomes.
* Communication Skills Training: As poor communication often exacerbates anger issues, we emphasize enhancing interpersonal skills. This includes learning assertive communication techniques that enable individuals to express their needs and emotions clearly and respectfully, without falling back on aggressive or passive-aggressive behaviors.
* Stress Reduction Techniques: Clients are equipped with techniques to reduce stress, such as deep breathing exercises, physical activity, or relaxation strategies. By lowering overall stress levels, individuals can better control their emotional responses, including anger.
* Problem-solving Skills: We work to strengthen problem-solving skills to help clients address the issues that trigger their anger in more effective ways. This includes focusing on identifying solutions rather than dwelling on problems.
* Group Therapy Sessions: For some, understanding and observing that others face similar challenges with anger can be incredibly reassuring and enlightening. Group sessions provide a forum for sharing experiences and strategies, further aiding the learning process.
Goals of Anger Management Therapy
Our objective is to empower individuals not just to manage their anger, but to transform it into a positive force that drives change rather than destruction. By the end of therapy, clients are better equipped to handle life’s frustrations without lashing out, leading to improved relationships, greater personal satisfaction, and a more balanced life.
If anger is affecting your life and relationships, reach out to us. Together, we can explore the root causes of your anger and provide you with the tools to manage it effectively.

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.

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.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
Anger is a normal emotion we all have. But if you find yourself getting too easily triggered or expressing it in a harmful way, then it's a problem that probably affects your overall quality of life and health. I approach anger management in a non-judgmental way and teach you how to challenge the thoughts that are upsetting you and teach you how to calm your body. Without these two key skills, managing emotions is challenging.
