Anger Management therapists in Orangevale, California CA
Dr. Trevor Alleman
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Anger is one of the most misunderstood emotions. Anger is not evil. It is a natural and understandable reaction to an injustice or boundary violation. Ongoing anger problems in adulthood are often reflective of unresolved emotional wounds, usually around neglect, enmeshment, or mistreatment of some kind.

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.

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.

Anna Ponder (Online/Virtual Therapy)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anger is a human emotion with often a justifiable cause - expectation disappointment, protection of loved ones, and so on - and the key is to learn adaptive ways of communicating and having angry thoughts and emotions without crossing certain boundaries. I want to help you focus on replacing aggressive, unhealthy communication with calm, assertive communication. I want to help you increase distress tolerance and experience anger without letting it "hook" you.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, J.D.
When patients find themselves dealing with family or work situations where anger is causing serious harm and fear, discussion with patients about specific triggers, possible developmental history issues, and techniques to reduce anger reactions, talking to a therapist can be very healing.
