Anger Management
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.

S. Abigail McCarrel : Welcome Home Family Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, DCSW
When you work with me as your family therapist, you will come to understand that calm may not be the goal. Instead, we will be working towards regulation. Anger is often the result of low stress tolerance. Certain folks are just more easily pulled into dysregulation than others and this is not their fault. I like to say, "blame it on the brain." There are many ways to grow one's window of tolerance outside the heat of the moment. Together, we will be using movements, mindfulness, grounding, self-compassion and problem-solving tools to help individuals in families be more connected to themselves as well as each other.

Anger Management
COPE Psychological Center
Psychologist, PhD
We often think of anger as a check engine light that tells us we need to pull over and see what's going on under the hood. Often times, when we look under the hood, we see hurt, disappointment, sadness, rejection, or other softer emotions. Our aim is to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy strategies to help you identify and manage these emotions and find more helpful ways of expressing them.

Does your partner say you overreact? Maybe you feel like you're stressed all the time and when one thing is resolved another always seems to take its place? Maybe you feel you get to a breaking point and after that, it's hard to control what happens next? Together, not only will we manage how your anger expresses itself outwardly, but we will also work to address the roots of your anger so you can experience healing from the inside out.
