Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Chronic anger often reflects a nervous system stuck in a state of hyperarousal — the brain's threat-detection circuitry firing too fast, too easily, and too intensely.
Neurofeedback quiets this overdrive by training the brain to regulate emotional reactivity at its source. Rather than managing anger after it erupts, neurofeedback rewires the underlying neural patterns that trigger it — building a calmer, more measured stress response from the inside out.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
My approach to working with anger considers the emotions that are underneath, driving the anger out. I like to hear stories of how you were shown to work through difficulties, what emotions you were taught we acceptable, and when you learned that fight energy was the surest way to stay safe in a scary world. We'll practice different grounding skills and have opportunities for nurturing the Parts inside of you that are hiding, wounded, and reactive.

San Diego's identity as a major military and biotech hub creates dual demand for therapists specializing in veteran trauma and PTSD on one hand, and the high-functioning anxiety and burnout of the life sciences industry on the other. The city's large active-duty population at Naval Base San Diego and Camp Pendleton means therapists with military specialty training are consistently sought after, and many practices are specifically oriented toward service members and their families. San Diego's border location and large Latino population drive demand for bilingual therapists and culturally affirming care for immigrant and mixed-status families. Scripps Health and UC San Diego Health provide institutional mental health anchors across the county.
