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.

Registered Psychotherapist, Lawyer (Arg) M.Div (USA) Reg. Psychotherapist (CA) Coach (Ca)
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.

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.

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.

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.

LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Long Beach Anger Management : Anger is often misunderstood. While anger itself is not the problem, the way it is expressed can impact your relationships, career, self-esteem, and overall well-being. You may find yourself reacting more intensely than you’d like, feeling easily irritated, holding onto resentment, experiencing frequent conflict, or struggling to communicate your needs without becoming overwhelmed.
As a therapist, I help clients understand what lies beneath their anger, whether it’s stress, anxiety, hurt, disappointment, unmet needs, past experiences, or feelings that have gone unexpressed for too long. Together, we’ll identify triggers, develop healthier coping strategies, strengthen emotional regulation, and improve communication skills so that anger no longer controls your reactions.
This work is not about suppressing your anger or becoming passive. It’s about learning how to harness the wisdom within your emotions, respond rather than react, and express yourself in ways that create greater understanding, connection, and personal empowerment.

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.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Behind depression is rage and behind the rage is separation anxiety. Entire societies have been build on the premise that anger is bad and has to be suppressed so its not uncommon that individuals also struggle with uncontrolled anger. When we learn to engage anger as an emotion with its rightful place in our life, and learn to express it in healthy ways that are not relationally destructive, we are then able to let go of old patterns of expressing anger that have been so damaging. We want you to know with the development of relational intelligence, you too can take control of your anger and experience positive growth in your relationships.

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.
