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.

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.

Hayden Dover
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT, CST
Anger is not something I treat as a problem to eliminate. Anger can be honest, protective, clarifying, and connected to important needs, values, and boundaries. It can also become reactive, overwhelming, or damaging when it takes over. In my work, we make room to understand anger, notice how it lives in the body and relationships, and develop more choice in how it is expressed, with clearer communication, better regulation, and more effective relationships.

Anger is a natural emotion, but when it feels unmanageable or leads to harmful patterns, it can disrupt relationships, work, and self-image. We help clients understand the root causes of their anger, develop healthy coping strategies, and learn constructive ways to express emotions. Our approach focuses on self-awareness, communication skills, and emotional regulation so you can respond instead of react.
