We offer anger management therapy groups limited to 6-10 individuals. These groups meet in the evenings for two hours per week for 8 weeks and use the U. S.

Upon successful participation and completion of the 8 week group, participants are provided a certificate of participation and a letter from the therapist summarizing treatment and the participant's level of effort during treatment. These are closed groups (once started, no new members are allowed) that begin once there are at least 8 members enrolled. Please call for more information.

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.

Very often we look at emotions as good or bad, right or wrong. Anger is a natural part of our emotional experience of life. We experience challenges and frustrations in our daily lives and sometimes it can be difficult to work through the experience with the intensity of anger we may be experiencing. Learning to understand what the anger is about and why it is as intense as it is can help us to move into a new relationship with our anger which allows us to experience it the way we want without guilt or shame.

Anger can be very costly! It can cost you everything you truly value and love in this world. Did you know that you can take control of this though? You don't have to let it control you one more day. Let's talk about how this behavior is affecting your life and how you can overcome it's bitter sting. You deserve to be free of it's damaging affects and so do your loved ones.

As a culture, we do not do well with healthy expressions of anger. Often we are raised to suppress it and then we have limited practice at dealing with big emotion. There is a spectrum of healthy aggression- to keep us safe and to maintain boundaries- and rage- our body's strategy for safety. Anger management is about applying the right "dosing" to maintain boundaries yet not fracture relationships or suffer other losses. I am able to help you learn to regulate your body to be able to apply the appropriate "dose" to be effective and not destructive.

Do you feel irritable, overwhelmed, stressed out, or angry? Do people tell you that you have anger problems or need help in managing your stress? If so, then anger management techniques may be helpful. Anger may have nothing to do with your situation. Many times we act in anger when we are stressed out or overwhelmed. Learning a few techniques to help manage your stressors can be beneficial in regulating your emotions, especially anger and stress. In counseling, we can discuss these techniques by identifying your stressors and providing education on how to better control your emotions and behaviors. I promise you, there is hope in changing your emotional reactions to situations.
