Anger Management
in Jersey City — Every Day
From Bayonne Municipal Court to Bergen County Superior Court — NJ judges, probation officers, and defense attorneys consistently direct their clients to one provider. Here is why.
What NJ Courts and Attorneys Look for in an Anger Management Provider
Not all anger management programs are created equal — and Hudson County judges know it. Courts in Jersey City, Bayonne, Hoboken, and throughout New Jersey have seen what happens when clients enroll in programs that cut corners on documentation, skip the legal nuances of NJ court requirements, or issue certificates that probation officers question.
NJ Anger Management Group has been the answer to that problem since 2012. Founded in Jersey City by Santo Artusa Jr, J.D. — a Rutgers Law graduate with 15+ years of NJ family and criminal court experience — NJAMG was built from the ground up to satisfy exactly what NJ courts require. Every certificate, every progress note, every enrollment letter is drafted with the precision of someone who has stood in these courtrooms himself.
When a defense attorney in Bayonne tells a client “enroll in anger management before your next court date,” they are thinking of NJAMG. When a Hudson County probation officer needs weekly progress notes, they know NJAMG delivers. When a judge in Jersey City wants to see genuine behavioral work — not a rubber-stamp certificate — NJAMG is the answer. Learn more about our court-approved anger management program →
Attorney-Level Documentation
Every document — enrollment letters, progress notes, certificates — is drafted by someone who has read thousands of court orders and knows exactly what language satisfies NJ judges.

Fully Bilingual — English & Spanish
Complete programs in Spanish for the significant Hispanic communities across Hudson, Bergen, Passaic, and Union counties.
Santo Artusa Jr, J.D.
Director · Anger Management Specialist · Former NJ AttorneyMost anger management providers are wellness coaches. Santo Artusa Jr is a Rutgers Law School graduate who spent 15+ years inside New Jersey’s courtrooms — representing clients facing assault charges, domestic violence allegations, restraining orders, and custody disputes across Hudson, Bergen, Essex, and every other NJ county.
But Santo Artusa Jr’s perspective is not only professional. As a litigant himself, he experienced the slow pace of the courts, the emotional toll of the process, and the cost of not being fully prepared. He also rebuilt completely — stopped drinking, lost 110 pounds, restructured his life and practice. The advice he gives is the advice that worked for him.
That combination — courtroom attorney, certified anger management specialist with credentials, and someone who has lived through what his clients face — is what makes NJAMG different from every other program in New Jersey. Explore our Family Law Coaching services →

What 15 Years in NJ Courtrooms — and the Other Side of the Table — Teaches You
Santo Artusa Jr has a vantage point no other anger management provider in New Jersey can claim. He has represented clients in Hudson County, Bergen County, Essex County, and beyond. He has argued in front of the judges who sign the court orders his clients bring to NJAMG. And he has sat on the other side — as a litigant himself — experiencing the slow grind of the legal system from the perspective of someone who thought he knew it all.
“The courts are not unfair,” he says. “They are overwhelmed. Judges see hundreds of cases. What gets noticed — what gets a judge’s attention in a good way — is preparation, documentation, and demonstrated accountability. Walking in with an NJAMG enrollment letter on your first appearance does all three of those things at once.”
That insight shapes everything about how NJAMG operates — from same-day enrollment letters to the specific language used in certificates of completion. It is not a wellness program that happens to be accepted by courts. It is a court-document program that also delivers genuine behavioral change.
On Choosing the Right Help
“Non-lawyers don’t know which questions to ask or what information is critical. If the person helping you doesn’t know either, you lose hours, days, weeks, and thousands of dollars you didn’t need to spend.”
On Proactive Enrollment
“The single most powerful thing you can do before your court date is enroll in anger management immediately — not because the judge ordered it, but because you chose to. That distinction matters enormously to a court.”
On Emotional Strategy
“Never instantly react to anything. Act as if everything you say or do will be published in a newspaper. In family court especially, your conduct between hearings is as important as your conduct in the courtroom.”
On the Long Game
“Look at your short-term goal and find the long-term path to achieve it in a way that lasts and prevents future problems. The best outcomes are not the ones that win today — they’re the ones that close the case forever.”
On Vengeance
“The best way to get vengeance is to focus on yourself, your happiness, and your children if you have them. Don’t waste money and emotion on vengeance. It costs you more than it costs them.”
