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.

David Gumpert
Psychologist, PsyD
Underlying most difficulties with anger are our values that feel threatened or violated. If nothing felt at stake for us, anger would be unlikely. ACT helps to slow down the process of reacting, which can allow you to respond to anger differently, reducing the frequency of saying or doing things you regret.

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.

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.

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.

San Francisco's extreme housing costs and the psychological toll of the tech industry — characterized by intense performance pressure, rapid layoff cycles, and boom-bust uncertainty — have made burnout, anxiety, and economic grief among the most common presenting concerns. The city has a historically significant LGBTQ+ community, and affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, queer relationships, and HIV-related concerns remain an important part of the local therapy landscape. UCSF Health provides world-class institutional mental health resources, while the city's dense network of independent practitioners reflects a culture that has long embraced therapy as a normal and valued part of life. Telehealth has expanded access significantly for Bay Area residents commuting from Oakland, the East Bay, and the Peninsula.
