Anger can take many forms.  You might feel it simmering under the surface ready to spill out at any moment.  Or, perhaps your anger expresses itself in more aggressive and controlling ways.   Anger can disrupt your relationships, zap your joy, and even contribute to depression. The bottom line is, it can make you and others feel lousy.

This group is for men and women who are experiencing negative consequences from their anger and are ready to do something about it.  The format will be a weekly process group.

 Why join a group to address your issues? 

·      Simply put, coming together with others who can relate to your struggles provides support and encouragement;

·      You’ll learn new, healthy ways of expressing and dealing with anger under the guidance of two certified anger management therapists; 

·      Working on your anger issues in a group is economical, at just $35 per session;

The goals for this group include increasing your awareness of how anger is affecting your life, recognizing the sources and triggers of anger, learning techniques and strategies for handling anger when it arises, and bringing forgiveness to relationships that have been affected by your anger.

Members will be expected to attend every meeting and are encouraged to be active participants.  Additionally, exercises will be assigned weekly to be completed during the week between meetings.  This group will be co-led by staff therapists, Jack Berkemeyer and Todd Pinckney, who are both certified anger management trainers.
