Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #149147
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.

Dr. Fernando Castrillon
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anger and aggression are "normal" parts of our psychic life, but they can also take on a life of their own that is injurious to our lives and those around us. Getting to the source of your anger and aggression, and having it speak fully, will allow you to not be subject to the uncontrollable rage that might be weighing you down.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
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.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Anger is unfairly regarded as a personal failure of emotion regulation, especially in women. But anger spikes happen for a reason, often covering deep hurt or fears. A respectful exploration of the circumstances that trigger anger for you is a very beneficial way to allow the wisdom of your natural instincts to inform you. Effective anger management includes learning to soften anger and manage reactivity in ways that honor your experience. This work benefits your emotional and physical health and promotes wise self development. Prolonged anger can be eased when the underlying fear, pain, trauma, grief and self-protective instincts are compassionately and effectively addressed. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from old patterns and helping you to reclaim the balanced, happy life you deserve.

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.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
While there are often mental components to anger you'll want to address with a talk therapist, there's also a physical component that we can work on using somatic approaches:
Out of control anger is often your nervous system's "fight" response kicking in so intensely that it's hard to keep your cool. Anger serves an important purpose, but we want to know that we can still stay connected to our best selves even while we are angry.
We can use body-focused techniques to be able to recognize when anger is about to kick in, and to teach your body new ways of responding to that anger. For example, you may find yourself saying to me "I noticed I was getting hot and agitated, so I excused myself for a couple minutes."
You may find yourself able to focus your energy much more quickly than you used to, to come back focused and goal oriented. You may still feel 'mad' but it may be anger that is working for you, in alignment with your values.

New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Anger is not the problem—it's often a signal. Beneath anger are usually deeper emotions like hurt, fear, shame, or unmet needs. In anger management counseling, we help clients understand the root causes of their anger, including unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, stress, or learned relational patterns. Together, we identify triggers, develop healthier coping strategies, and build practical tools for emotional regulation and communication. Our approach integrates clinical insight with Christ-centered guidance, helping you respond rather than react—so you can experience greater self-control, stronger relationships, and lasting emotional growth.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anger is often a signal of something deeper—frustration, hurt, fear, or feeling misunderstood. Rather than simply trying to suppress anger, I help individuals understand where it comes from, how it builds, and how it is expressed. Through this work, clients develop greater awareness, emotional regulation, and more effective ways of communicating and responding in difficult moments.
