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.

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.

Christopher Schadt
Psychologist, PsyD
Unfortunately, anger has a bad reputation and is often viewed as toxic, immoral or harmful. At its' core, anger is our body's natural response to an injustice or a boundary violation, providing us with the motivation and energy to act. Inaccurate beliefs about anger lead to us bottling up that feeling which is actually where the problems start. Together, we can learn to understand your body's signals that tell you you're angry, learn how to tolerate those feelings and learn how to use them effectively to your benefit and to the benefit of your relationships. A healthy approach to anger doesn't involve bottling it up and that's not my therapy approach either.

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.

Pasadena is home to Caltech and the Huntington Hospital, and the city's intellectual, academic culture creates demand for therapists experienced in working with high-achievers navigating perfectionism, burnout, and the psychological demands of elite academic and scientific environments. The city's established residential character and proximity to Los Angeles give it a distinct therapy landscape — less entertainment-focused than West Hollywood, more oriented toward depth work, relationships, and long-term growth. Pasadena also has a significant older adult population, with therapists specializing in aging, life review, and elder family dynamics well represented. Many practices serve clients drawn from across the San Gabriel Valley and Foothill communities.
