Anne M. Dennis LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
If anger has become unmanageable and affecting relationships and your own health, consider treatment. When we think about Anger, it is often said every "big behavior" comes from an unmet need. Not being heard/seen, misunderstood, feelings of hurt both past and present. If you are ready to get anger under control, consider therapy as a way to learn about the roots of the anger and learn effective coping strategies to appropriately express needs and feelings and decrease angry outbursts.

Anger can cause you, and those you are close with high levels of stress and anxiety. Anger is often masking deeper feelings we are grappling with like sadness, unworthiness, feeling disregarded etc. There is a valid reason for your anger— together we will work to understand the root of where your anger comes from and how it developed. From there we can begin implementing tools to help you regulate your anger so that you can be a more centered version of yourself.

Melissa Berschauer
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anger is a completely normal emotion, but when it starts blowing up your relationships, costing you at work, or making you feel out of control, it’s usually masking a lot of deeper stress. We will work together to get under the hood of those explosive moments, identifying your physical triggers before you hit a boiling point. I'll help you build practical, real-time tools to cool down the nervous system storm so you can choose how to respond rather than just reacting.

Salvadore Coaching LLC
Life Coach, Holistic Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Instructor, Certified Hypnotist
Anger carries a lot of energy. When met with awareness and guided by our values, anger can be a force that builds greater clarity and connection. And, it often carries information: a boundary that’s been crossed, a value that matters, a need that hasn’t been spoken, or a hurt that’s been held too long. The problem isn’t that anger exists; it’s that it can move too fast and take over.
I work with individuals and couples to create some space between the trigger and the response, to understand and explore what’s underneath it—stress, fear, grief, resentment, or powerlessness—so it can be expressed with clarity and responsibility. Together, we build practical tools for emotional regulation, communication, boundary-setting, and repair. The goal is not to eliminate anger, but to transform it into something constructive: a force that supports honesty, self-respect, and healthier relationships.

Rory Valentine Diller
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139783
Anger can be so tricky to deal with. Society conditions us to fear and judge anger in ourselves and each other, but the truth is; Anger is a fundamentally human, primal, physiologic response to experiences that threaten our emotional and physical safety. Anger is hurt's bodyguard. It's there to protect us and it is worthy of compassion, honor and validation. I work with clients to help them understand their anger more astutely, release shame around it, learn about it's connection to the autonomic nervous system, express or channel it into safe and healthy outlets, and earn skills to effectively manage it in everyday life.

Oh, anger, often relegated to the shadows as the most maligned emotion in the human repertoire. Yet, it is my fervent passion and ambition to redefine its narrative, shedding light on this potent emotion's healthy and empowering uses. Acknowledged for its potential to become one of the most poisonous energies when mismanaged, anger has been implicated in family breakdowns, wars, lost relationships, emotional harm, and tragically, even death. It's no wonder that society often perceives anger as the problem, prescribing the solution as suppressing or never expressing it.
Unfortunately, this approach doesn't lead to healing toxic anger, which I define as the kind that manifests as a destructive force, causing harm and leaving poisonous aftermaths. The path to healing unhealthy anger emerges when we dare to recognize anger as a precious emotion. This guide can lead us to a world where healthy boundaries shape relationships, justice guides us through addressing problematic situations, and self-care and self-respect become guiding beacons in the vast expanse of our lives.
Across millions of years of evolution, anger has served as a vital signal, alerting us to instances of hurt, mistreatment, neglect, or abuse. Its healthy purpose extends beyond mere survival; it empowers us to create harmonious and peaceful experiences with ourselves and our communities. However, the unfortunate consequence of society's tendency to discard all forms of anger is the epidemic of toxic anger we witness today.
Toxic anger, I believe, is the misguided use of this powerful emotion—redirecting pain toward the wrong targets and employing inappropriate tools for expression. People often blame anger for the misuse of this energy, and when addressing anger management, my approach goes beyond preventing harmful outbursts. I strive to guide individuals toward understanding the messages embedded within themselves, transforming signals of frustration and anger into powerful fuel for positive life transformation and inner peace.
Understanding the healthy aspect of anger becomes apparent when we experience or witness injustice, feeling a surge of anger. I believe this form of anger has fueled human revolutions led by inspiring figures such as Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King. Leaders like them harnessed anger in its healthiest form—transforming the desire to harm into a commitment to establishing clear boundaries, standing up for justice, and never remaining silent in the face of injustice.
Throughout my own life, advocating for justice and assisting others in developing this capability has been a profound passion. With this passion, I extend an invitation to transform your relationship with anger, utilizing it as a catalyst to enhance your life rather than perpetuating harm to yourself and those you hold dear through toxic anger. It would be my honour to guide you on this transformative journey.

My approach to working with anger considers the emotions that are underneath, driving the anger out. I like to hear stories of how you were shown to work through difficulties, what emotions you were taught we acceptable, and when you learned that fight energy was the surest way to stay safe in a scary world. We'll practice different grounding skills and have opportunities for nurturing the Parts inside of you that are hiding, wounded, and reactive.

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.

San Diego's identity as a major military and biotech hub creates dual demand for therapists specializing in veteran trauma and PTSD on one hand, and the high-functioning anxiety and burnout of the life sciences industry on the other. The city's large active-duty population at Naval Base San Diego and Camp Pendleton means therapists with military specialty training are consistently sought after, and many practices are specifically oriented toward service members and their families. San Diego's border location and large Latino population drive demand for bilingual therapists and culturally affirming care for immigrant and mixed-status families. Scripps Health and UC San Diego Health provide institutional mental health anchors across the county.
