Growth and Change Counseling
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.

Yesenia Torres
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with anger, irritability, or difficulty managing emotional reactions. My approach focuses on helping clients understand the underlying triggers of anger, often rooted in unresolved stress, past experiences, or unmet needs and how it impacts their relationships, decision-making, and overall well-being.
Through our work, clients develop greater emotional awareness, learn to recognize early signs of escalation, and build practical tools to respond more effectively. The goal is not to suppress anger, but to gain control, communicate more clearly, and navigate conflict in healthier, more constructive ways.

Mona Saba Valeriano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Explosive or chronically suppressed anger often signals unprocessed rage rooted in early relational trauma. Rather than treating anger as the problem, I see it as important emotional data—something to approach safely and directly in therapy, so it no longer has to be displaced or expressed in destructive ways.
Drawing from Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), I use an experiential, somatic-focused approach to help clients safely access and process underlying feelings. Together, we explore whether anger needs fuller expression and integration, or whether it is defending against other unconscious emotions such as grief or guilt.
