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.

Lisa Abdilova Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You have the right to get angry, especially if you're being mistreated, your boundaries are violated, or your needs are not being met. Is the way you're expressing your frustrations adding shame and guilt into the equation, though? Do you find yourself often irritable, agitated in your relationships, annoyed with co-workers / co-founders, and arguing without getting your point across?
Our Productive Anger Management Group could empower you to self-regulate, understand your needs, and learn how to communicate more effectively. We meet on Wednesday evenings 5:30p-7pm to practice evidence-based CBT strategies, DBT skills, and ACT experiential exercises.

Roopa Cantu, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker
We can all have the tendency to get angry. Anger is often an underlying emotion for other emotions. Extreme anger can have an impact on our health. I seek to help you to manage your anger by telling you to expand your coping and overall communication skills.

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.

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.

Berkeley is home to the University of California, Berkeley—one of the world's great public research universities—and has a progressive, intellectually vibrant character and a community culture that is among the most therapy-positive in the United States, with an unusually high density of licensed therapists relative to population. The university's health services include counseling for enrolled students, and the academic and activist culture of Berkeley creates specific mental health pressures around perfectionism, imposter syndrome, political engagement, and the burnout of sustained social activism. The city's housing market is among the most expensive in the country, and financial precarity is a significant stressor for students, artists, and workers who value Berkeley but struggle to afford it. Common therapy concerns include academic stress, activist burnout, identity and social justice, anxiety, depression, and the complex emotional experience of living in a place with deeply held ideals about equity alongside the daily reality of inequality.
