Moose Anger Management was established in 1995 by Alistair Moes, Founder of Moose Anger Management. He has worked with thousands of men and women over the last 27+ years. The objective was to provide counselling that focused on constructive approaches to expressing healthy anger by addressing both current circumstances, such as anxiety, and looking at how history is attached to current behaviour. In 2008, Alistair started co-facilitating Healing Anger groups for women. The co-owner of Moose Anger Management and Healing Anger, Alejandra Proaño, MA (Psy), MA (Lit), M.Sc, ACC, RCC, now oversees Healing Anger. She and Alistair have rewritten the books used in the courses which now have an edition that specifically addresses issues that are relevant to women’s anger.
