Anger Management and Counseling in Otsego, MN.

Anger can feel overwhelming, unpredictable, or even isolating—but it’s also a signal that something deeper is going on. In therapy, we explore what’s beneath the surface, helping you understand where your anger comes from and how it shows up in your life. It’s not about shutting it down—it’s about learning how to express it in healthier, more effective ways. Together, we’ll work on building emotional awareness, setting boundaries, and creating more balance, so anger doesn’t control you—but instead becomes something you can navigate with confidence. At Omni Mental Health, our therapists are here to walk alongside you—not ahead, not behind, but with you—as you navigate challenges and move tow

At Blossom, we recognize that anger is often a signal of deeper struggles—such as anxiety, frustration, sensory overwhelm, or unmet needs. Our therapists help children, teens, and adults better understand what’s beneath their anger and develop healthy ways to express emotion, set boundaries, and manage stress. We use evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and somatic techniques to support emotional regulation. With compassion and curiosity, we help clients build skills for calmer communication, stronger relationships, and greater self-awareness.

It is interesting that often we find that anger issues stem from early childhood issues. It can come from previous times we felt we were not heard, we were hurt, had negative things happened or were generally in an environment where we were not given a chance to develop a way to deal with anger. The physiological qualities of anger can make it harder to manager. During anger our brain sends signals to our bodies, temporarily, that the situation is life-or-death, and our flight-or-flight mechanism kicks in.

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. Brainwave optimization is a new cutting edge technology that allows one to rewire circuitry responsible for reactivity driving the anger.
