Anger can rob you of so much in your life and relationships. You can learn how to take control of your anger so that you have better relationships with others and a more peaceful life. Our approach is to help you recognize what sets your anger off and work through it so that it loses its power. We will also work on heading your anger off at the pass so that it can't rule your life. You will be less irritable, more patient, and free from the loss of control that anger invariably gives you.

I don't offer traditional anger management therapy, but believe that by using mindfulness tools, practicing meditation, learning how to regulate emotions and accepting what is out of our control one can overcome issues with not being able to manage their anger. If we don't properly process and deal with what's bothering us it is going to end up coming out sideways. This make take the form of depression or anxiety or anger, but that energy will seek an outlet somewhere. I believe we can work together to learn to process these difficult emotions so that you don't have to act out in anger.

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 management is about impulse control. I can help you learn to experience and explore your angry and violent impulses without ACTING off of them. Angry feelings flow naturally from a great many life situations (e.g. competition, losses, personal violations, insults, dismissals, etc.). We usually do not recognize that our old unfinished business is behind our aggressive temper and behavior. I can help you identify your personal triggers, move away from the person who is setting you off in the moment, and work on your infinished business in private healthy ways.

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.
