Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anger is a mask we wear to conceal pain. I work to help folks remove that mask, identify the pain within, and learn what it needs to be healed. We also explore our relationship with anger, what role is it playing in our life? Anger is such an effective tool in creating distance from people! In getting our needs met! And yet, what wreckage it leaves behind, and what a short shelf life it has, quickly burning bridges and our own hearts until all around is charred ash. Anger CAN be managed.

Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Does your partner say you overreact? Maybe you feel like you're stressed all the time and when one thing is resolved another always seems to take its place? Maybe you feel you get to a breaking point and after that, it's hard to control what happens next? Together, not only will we manage how your anger expresses itself outwardly, but we will also work to address the roots of your anger so you can experience healing from the inside out.

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.

Daniel Slavin
Marriage and Family Therapist
I view anger as an important emotional signal rather than a problem to eliminate. In therapy, we explore what triggers anger, what it protects, and how to respond more thoughtfully instead of reactively, leading to better communication and emotional balance.

My approach to therapy as a Jungian analyst is to listen deeply to discover the unique person that you are and the problems you are facing. In a safe, caring, and supportive setting we will utilize dream analysis, journaling, and other creative work to help guide you back to the wisdom within.

Santa Monica combines proximity to the entertainment industry with a strong wellness culture, creating demand for therapists who specialize in performance anxiety, the pressures of creative and entertainment careers, identity, and the particular stresses of living adjacent to fame and public scrutiny. The area's affluent demographic and beach lifestyle coexist with significant rates of anxiety, eating concerns, and relationship distress, and the Westside has a notably high density of experienced therapists relative to its size. Providence Saint John's Health Center and UCLA Health provide institutional mental health anchors for the Westside community. Many Santa Monica therapists also serve clients from Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and the broader Westside corridor.
