Chris Brown is receiving psychological counselling in rehab after acknowledging he has a major anger management problem.
The 24-year-old checked into a treatment facility in Malibu, California, on Tuesday following an arrest for assault after allegedly breaking a man's nose outside a hotel in Washington D.C. on Sunday.
The Fine China singer and his lawyer, Mark Geragos, reportedly met with his new probation officer for an hour long chat on Friday, during which he confessed he has a big anger problem.
Brown is also said to have discussed his decision to voluntarily seek help and the treatment he is receiving.

But a source told gossip website TMZ.com that the Los Angeles County Probation Department wasn't impressed and said: ‘They're gunning for Chris.’
Officials are set to submit a report to the judge overseeing Chris' probation stemming from his assault on his ex-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009 next week.
Brown could be sentenced to four years in State prison if his probation is revoked.
It was previously reported that the star's probation officers thought the singer's decision to seek help for his issues was ‘too little, too late,’ even though he is planning to stay in rehab for three months.
Meanwhile, video footage of Brown’s alleged assault last Sunday has yet to emerge.
Sources told TMZ that while there are various cameras in the surrounding area, connected to the hotel where the altercation was said to take place, none of them were ‘trained on the fight’.
Police and Brown’s legal team have tried to hunt down a video but to no avail.
The lack of video footage could play in Brown’s favour as a secret service agent is reported to have been in the vicinity of the altercation.
The government agent is said to have overheard the alleged victim tell the responding police officer that Brown ‘did not punch him’.
Although, the D.C. officer counter-claims that the victim had never uttered those words in his recollection.
