Anger Management therapists in Laguna, California CA
Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anger is a mask we wear to conceal pain. I work to help folks remove that mask, identify the pain within, and learn what it needs to be healed. We also explore our relationship with anger, what role is it playing in our life? Anger is such an effective tool in creating distance from people! In getting our needs met! And yet, what wreckage it leaves behind, and what a short shelf life it has, quickly burning bridges and our own hearts until all around is charred ash. Anger CAN be managed.

Daniel Lazar
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA, MBA
I help men work on managing the anger they cannot control. I have a three-pronged approach. First, I teach my clients about what causes anger (hint: unmet expectations). Second, we look at how anger works in the brain, including the ways our memories influence our anger. And finally, I teach my clients hands-on skills that they can use to tame their anger when it arises. These three approaches, when taken together, help my clients better understand their anger and themselves. My clients' relationships at home and work often improve as well.

Barbara Jaurequi Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT, MAC
Most people don't realize that anger is an addiction. It follows a predictable pattern that starts with the angry person being calm (which usually follows an angry outburst). The next stage is the tension mounting period which leads to another angry outburst. Then follows a period of remorse and the cycle repeats. Un-managed anger gets worse over time. Behavioral counseling will help you get your angry impulses under control. We will work to find healthier coping tools to manage your anger and get to the root of what typically triggers the anger cycle.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, J.D.
When patients find themselves dealing with family or work situations where anger is causing serious harm and fear, discussion with patients about specific triggers, possible developmental history issues, and techniques to reduce anger reactions, talking to a therapist can be very healing.

Dr Pamela Helen Polcyn
Marriage and Family Therapist, Phd, MFT
Anger stuffed or unexpressed can build and explode at those nearest and dearest to you. Anger can be a constructive emotion that can help you and motivate you to make important changes in your life. You can learn to understand and express it in a constructive and relational way.
