Anger is a natural response to many situations in life that cause feelings of frustration. If you are experiencing anger that persists after situations have passed or become easily irritated in circumstances that would not usually warrant anger, then counseling may be right for you. Sometimes we are unable to process the emotions that cause our anger, and we lack the tools to improve our responses to the circumstances that trigger our anger. By talking about these feelings, Jamie Smiertelny can assist in the understanding of the reasons behind them and help you work toward better communication and responses to events without anger.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of anger management in a very humane yet fresh perspective. You see, anger is a normal emotion but it is the valence (intensity) as well as the coupling choice of what one does with this that is the problem. Telling someone to "not" do it or modifying behavior with a trite psychological plan that only breeds a compliant response is not the way to change anger. Brainwaive optimization is a new cutting edge technology that allows one to rewire circuitry responsible for reactivity driving the anger.

Anger isn’t a problem to control, it’s a signal to understand. Emotions are information, and anger is a powerful signifier that something is not sitting right with you. Together, we'll trace anger to its roots in boundary violations, unmet needs, and protective survival responses in your life. Through somatic awareness and mindful regulation, you’ll learn to use anger as clear information rather than chaos, expressing it in ways that build integrity and connection instead of guilt or shame.

In anger management, we explore anger as a significant emotion in your life—sometimes as a core feeling, other times as a protective layer over deeper emotions, such as fear. Together, we look at anger as an influence rather than a personal flaw, identifying patterns and situations where it arises. By examining what anger might be protecting and developing ways to engage with it constructively, we create space for new responses that align with your values, fostering respect, calm, and more fulfilling connections in your relationships.

Anger is a lively emotion and I frequently hear "I don't want to feel angry". That's pretty common, it's not a feel good emotion. It is, however, an informative emotion, and part of the human experience. My approach to anger management counseling first explores how anger shows up in your life, what were you taught about anger, how was anger shown to you, and how would you like to be experienced in your relationships. Skill are a fundamental part of anger management including: Relationship skills, communication, thought and behavior modifications, boundaries, mindfulness and relaxation techniques. Anger management counseling is interactive process in session and provides homework to practice.
