Anger can be such a frustrating emotion sometimes leaving us feeling shameful for even feeling that way. Men and women are often taught different messages about anger as they are growing up, impacting our experience and delivery of anger as an adult. Anger is a real and valid emotion, but how we express it can sometimes lead to problems. Let's figure this out together!

Anger management counseling can help to identify stressors and learn the steps to stay calm in the face of anger. The goal is to handle tense situations in more constructive and positive ways by reducing the emotional and physical arousal that anger can cause. It will provide the tools to take back your life and resolve the triggers that result in unplanned anger reactions.

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.

Anger is a normal and healthy emotion and we all get angry from time to time. However, when anger turns destructive and/or self-destructive and brings problems into your personal and professional life, you need to seek support to learn how to manage your anger better. In the process, you will learn how to relieve the symptoms and recognize the signs of anger, increase your confidence and self esteem level, enjoy stronger and healthier relationships with your loved ones and coworkers, learn how to express yourself and your emotions with confidence and without anger, and live more balanced life both mentally and emotionally.

Anger may occur for a variety of reasons, resulting from challenging and stressful situations or even due to other emotions such as fear, rejection or frustration. Acting out of anger only serves to increase anger and alienate others. Therapy can help you learn to identify situations and emotions that typically result in anger and find new strategies for reducing their impact.

I don’t treat anger simply as a symptom to be suppressed but as a message from a system that has been ignored, misread, or overwhelmed. Anger often emerges when deeper emotional needs have been chronically unmet — when boundaries have been violated, worth questioned, or safety disrupted. In our work, we don’t aim to “control” anger, but to understand what it protects, what it resents, and what it’s trying to restore. This is not about behavioural compliance — it’s about restoring internal coherence, emotional integrity, and a form of relational strength that doesn’t need to erupt in order to be heard.

Anger Solutions is a different type of Anger Management which has been proven successful. Ray has been trained in this modality and have found it successful with adults who are motivated to be in charge of their emotions instead of their emotions take charge of them. Ray follows the Anger Solutions workbook written by Julie A. Christiansen who is the creater of this program. By the end of this program clients will be able to recognize their anger triggers, those of others and be able to take charge of their anger.

Therapy for anger management can be helpful for both your close relationships and the workplace. Therapy integrates strategies to regulate emotion, tolerate distress, and express frustrations in a manner that is respectful. If your anger difficulties occur exclusively within the context of a romantic relationship, couple’s therapy or therapy with a couple’s therapist can be particularly helpful.

Anger can destroy lives, families and relationships. I, as a professional, work on the idea of “he who angers you controls you”. Through a proven user friendly anger management process which incorporates many internal reflections, the client can begin to build more control over his/her emotions as a result more capable of handling difficult situations. Over time, through using these new skills, the client develops more confidence and assurance that he/she can deal with life’s challenges in a more calm and reasonable manner. Clients will also be provided with life long strategies and coping methods.
