Anger Management Services provide a unique one-to-one service for all clients. Sessions are private and fit the individual needs of each client.  We are committed to a program of confidentiality, individual attention, and flexible hours that accommodate obligations. 

Private sessions allow anonymity and full-time attention to the Anger Management and Executive Coaching Programs.  Because sessions are one-to-one, clients are less inhibited and more forthcoming about situational stress and anger in their daily living.   As a result, clients are more likely to express difficulties which contribute to the negative impacts on their relationships, workplace situations and important parts of their everyday life.

Anger Management Services educates clients in understanding their reactions in times of stress and anger. The skills that are then learned, then create an awareness necessary to stop conflict situations and destructive patterns.

What is Anger?

Our curriculum is based on the Anderson and Anderson model and is currently the only anger management program accepted by the California Superior Court in Los Angeles County for court mandated anger management referrals. 

All sessions are private and one-to-one.  Executive Coaching and Hi-Profile clients have the choice of facilitating the Anger Management Service's program in the privacy of their office. In some instances, phone sessions can be arranged.

Anger is a basic human emotion that everyone feels.  It is important to recognize that anger is a secondary emotion, which means we feel something else first ... even if we don't notice it.  For example, we might feel afraid, attacked, offended, disrespected, or forced.  Next comes anger, which is used to express negative feelings and often to gain attention, control, and to influence others.  Because anger is a "learned response," we have the ability to unlearn the negative reactions and "retrain" ourselves to respond in a more healthy manner.

Physical changes occur in the body when we are angry.  Our blood pressure may rise, and muscles can become tense as adrenaline enters the bloodstream.  If we were to take a video of anger in action, we would notice that breathing stops and starts in an unhealthy way and the body becomes rigid and stressed.  Too much stress can make us susceptible to illness, an ineffective life, and in some cases, addiction to drugs, alcohol, and out of control eating behaviors.

A Program for Understanding Anger

Everyday life is a challenge - we constantly face situations in which our self-control and communication skills are tested at work, at school, at home, on the roadways, and with a myriad of personalities in the general public.

Our curriculum is based on the Anderson and Anderson model and is currently the only anger management program accepted by the California Superior Court in Los Angeles County for court mandated anger management referrals.  All sessions are private and one-to-one.  Executive Coaching and Hi-Profile clients have the choice of facilitating the Anger Management Service's program in the privacy of their office.  In some instances, phone sessions can be arranged.

Karen Golob's Anger Management Program is designed to help individuals gain a better understanding of acceptable and productive ways to express anger and eliminate violent and self-destructive behaviors.  Clients learn to recognize and identify the role of individual responsibility in changing their maladaptive behaviors.

In this program, clients' personal and behavioral qualities, including interpersonal communication, interpersonal aggression, and personal change orientation are assessed in a private and confidential session. By gathering this information, Karen is able to provide clients with new insights into life's situations and the tools to transform destructive interactions into constructive responses.

This Anger Management Program can be taken as a complement to other treatment plans participants may be receiving.

Who Can Benefit?

Perhaps you find yourself behaving in ways that seem out of control.  You may have noticed that your behavior is having a negative impact on your relationships and important parts of your everyday life.

Ask yourself:
Is my attitude and behavior setting a negative example for my children?
Am I irritable and feeling physical symptoms resulting from stress?
Do people tell me that I argue too much?
Do I yell, swear, and/or have temper tantrums instead of talking about upsetting feelings?
Am I blaming others for my inability to cope with everyday situations?
Do loved ones say that I am hurting them?

Just one answer "yes" indicates that you can benefit from Karen Golob's Anger Management Program.

Karen works with adults and adolescents, court-mandated individuals, recovering addicts, and people experiencing daily frustrations in business and personal situations.  Her in-service seminars, workplace presentations, and private Executive Coaching sessions help all kinds of people in all aspects of their lives.
