Who We Serve

Three Reasons People Come to Us

Court-ordered, employer-referred, or entirely your own decision — the same attorney-founded, one-on-one program serves all three. Here is where you fit.

⚖️
3–12 Sessions

Court-Ordered Anger Management

Ordered by a municipal, Superior, or Family Court — or recommended by your attorney as part of PTI, a conditional discharge, a plea negotiation, or a domestic-violence-related matter. We match your program length to exactly what your order or attorney requires, document your progress, and issue a Completion Certificate and attorney-signed Letter recognized by courts.

🌱
On Your Terms

Proactive & Personal Anger Management

No court, no employer — just you deciding to get ahead of it. Whether you are protecting a relationship or a marriage, showing up better as a parent, or simply want stronger tools for high-pressure moments, self-referred clients get the same private, one-on-one program. Confidential, judgment-free, and paced to your goals (commonly 6–12 sessions).

How it works ›

💼
6–12 Sessions

Employer & Employee Anger Management

For HR, managers, and business owners — or employees under a workplace requirement, return-to-work condition, or last chance agreement. Either the employer or the employee can enroll, and either can pay. You get weekly or biweekly documentation, plus a Completion Certificate and attorney-signed Letter built for an HR file or legal review.

Every Step Explained

Your Step-by-Step Journey

Every step is handled personally by Santo Artusa, Jr., J.D. and our team. You are never just a number.

1
Initial Contact

Reach Our 24/7 Intake Line

Call (929) 788-6382 anytime — day, night, weekend, or holiday. Our 24/7 live intake line is always staffed with real team members who know the program.

Prefer text? Send ENROLL to (201) 205-3201 for a same-business-day callback.

We ask three simple questions to build your plan:

  • What is this for? A court matter, an employer or workplace requirement, or your own personal goals — the path is a little different for each, and we tailor it.
  • How many sessions do you need? Your court order, attorney, employer, or personal goals set this — court matters typically run 3 to 12 sessions; employer and employee programs run 6 to 12.
  • Is there a deadline? A court date, a return-to-work date, or none at all — we work backward from it to ensure on-time completion, or documented meaningful progress.
Bilingual from the first hello. Our intake team handles English and Spanish fluently. Santo Artusa, Jr. is bilingual, and sessions, intake, and documents are available in either language on request.

Enrollment

Sign the Agreement & Receive Your Letter of Enrollment

Same-day enrollment is standard. Santo Artusa, Jr., J.D. (Rutgers Law) personally reviews your situation — any court documents, an employer mandate or agreement, your deadline, and attorney or HR involvement — and confirms your program structure in writing.

You receive:

  • A simple one-page enrollment agreement outlining your program length, session schedule, pricing, and expectations
  • A typed e-signature option — no need to print, scan, or fax anything
  • A Letter of Enrollment issued the same day — emailed to you and, as you authorize, to your attorney, the court, or your employer, often within minutes
Why this matters: If a court date or a return-to-work deadline is approaching, the Letter of Enrollment gives your attorney or HR something to present immediately — demonstrating that you are actively engaged, not stalling.
3
Payment

Transparent Pricing — Arranged at Enrollment

We keep pricing simple and transparent. Programs are flat-rate and arranged at enrollment — no hidden fees, no per-session surprises, no up-selling. Your total depends only on the number of sessions your matter requires, and typically ranges from $475 to $950 across program lengths.

Most clients pay upfront by credit card, debit card, or secure online transfer, so you can focus on what actually matters — completing your program and meeting your requirement.

Employer referrals: either the employer or the employee can pay. We invoice the business directly or bill the individual, whichever you prefer — and billing never affects the documentation you receive or the confidentiality of the sessions.
4
Intake Assessment

Complete Your Intake & Schedule Session One

Within hours of enrollment, you receive our 14-section intake assessment — a confidential questionnaire your specialist uses to understand your triggers, history, support systems, and personal goals before your very first session.

The intake covers:

  • Background and presenting situation
  • Prior mental health and substance use history
  • Family, employment, and legal context
  • Specific trigger patterns you have noticed
  • Goals and motivation level

Simultaneously, your first session is scheduled — typically within 48 to 72 hours of enrollment. Live telehealth sessions are available 7 days a week, including evenings and weekends, to fit real working schedules.

5
Live Sessions

Complete Your One-on-One Sessions

Every session is private, one-on-one, and live — conducted by secure telehealth directly with Santo Artusa, Jr., J.D. or one of our certified specialists. Sessions run 50 to 60 minutes and follow a CBT-based curriculum tailored to your situation, triggers, and goals.

Program length is matched to your track:

  • Court-ordered: 3 to 12 sessions — set by your order or your attorney’s guidance (municipal matters, PTI, conditional discharge, DV-related matters).
  • Employer & employee: 6 to 12 sessions — matched to the mandate, return-to-work condition, or last chance agreement.
  • Proactive & personal: flexible — commonly 6 to 12 sessions, paced entirely to your goals.

You also choose your pace:

  • Standard — once per week. Steady and sustainable; the default when there is no urgent deadline.
  • Accelerated — two to three times per week. Compresses the timeline when a court date or return-to-work deadline is tight.

Your specialist tracks your progress throughout and can provide weekly or biweekly reports to your attorney, the court, or your employer as you authorize — plus interim progress updates if your deadline falls before completion.

Why live one-on-one matters: Courts increasingly scrutinize pre-recorded or self-paced online programs. Live telehealth sessions with a real specialist — a format courts approve — carry significantly more weight than any video-only program, and give an employer or HR reader far more confidence.
6
Completion

Your Completion Certificate & Letter Are Issued

Upon completing all required sessions, you receive both a professional Completion Certificate — the document most people ask for — and a signed attorney Completion Letter on our letterhead that backs it up. Together they document:

  • Your full legal name and program dates
  • Total sessions completed
  • Session format (live one-on-one telehealth)
  • Specific curriculum and topics covered
  • Behavioral engagement observed by your specialist
  • Signed and dated by Santo Artusa, Jr., J.D., program director

Your Completion Certificate and Letter are recognized by courts — in all 21 New Jersey counties and nationwide — and are built to satisfy an employer, HR file, or legal review just as cleanly.

You get both — and that’s the point. Most programs hand you a single generic printable certificate and nothing else. You receive the certificate people ask for plus a signed attorney letter that carries real weight — so your documentation can never be mistaken for a mass-produced credential courts and HR departments disregard.
7
Delivery

Certificate & Letter Sent to You and Your Team

Your Completion Certificate and Letter are delivered directly to you — and, upon your signed authorization, to your attorney, the court, or your employer or HR, whoever needs it.

Depending on your track, the letter serves as formal evidence of:

  • Compliance with a court order, employer mandate, or agreement
  • Active engagement in genuine behavioral change
  • Commitment to avoiding a future incident
  • Rehabilitation — which matters at sentencing, plea negotiations, return-to-work decisions, and beyond

For many clients, this letter is the single most important document in achieving a charge dismissal or downgrade, a favorable plea, a clean return to work, or simply the peace of mind of having followed through. Your attorney or HR contact will know how to use it.

What Makes NJAMG Different

Attorney-Founded. One-on-One. Bilingual. Respected.

These are not marketing points — they are the reasons judges, attorneys, HR teams, and clients choose us.

⚖️

America’s Only Lawyer-Founded & Run Program

We are the only anger management program in the country both founded and run by a lawyer. Santo Artusa, Jr. holds a J.D. from Rutgers Law and practiced criminal defense and family law in NJ for over a decade — and he runs the program and conducts sessions himself. He knows what courts and employers want to see, because he has stood in those courtrooms.

👤

Live One-on-One Sessions

No pre-recorded videos. No self-paced modules. No “watch and click next.” Every session is a live, private, 50 to 60 minute conversation between you and a specialist — the format courts and HR readers trust.

💻

Court-Approved Telehealth

Our live telehealth format is approved by courts for anger management requirements — so you can complete everything remotely, from anywhere, without a single in-person class, and without weakening your documentation.

🌐

Bilingual English / Español

Santo is fluent in Spanish. Sessions, intake, agreements, certificates, and letters are all available in either language — critical for NJ/NY metro clients whose courts or employers require Spanish-language documentation.

🏢

Court, Employer & Personal

Court-ordered, employer-referred, or proactive — we serve all three with the same rigor. Whatever brought you here, you get a real program and a document built to do its job.

📄

Certificate and Attorney Letter

Every client receives the Completion Certificate people ask for and a signed attorney Letter on NJAMG letterhead that backs it up. Most programs give only a flimsy printable — you get both, and yours carries real weight.

The Certificate & Letter

Why Ours Carry More Weight

Built to work in the real world — not just to check a box.

Most programs issue a single generic printable certificate that arrives as a PDF attachment. Courts and HR departments have seen thousands of them, and they often look identical whether the program was one session or twenty.

NJAMG gives you both: the Completion Certificate you came for, and a formal Letter on our letterhead, signed and dated by Santo Artusa, Jr., J.D. — a professional document from an attorney-founded program that a generic certificate simply can’t match.
