Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., AMFT
Anger can cause you, and those you are close with high levels of stress and anxiety. Anger is often masking deeper feelings we are grappling with like sadness, unworthiness, feeling disregarded etc. There is a valid reason for your anger— together we will work to understand the root of where your anger comes from and how it developed. From there we can begin implementing tools to help you regulate your anger so that you can be a more centered version of yourself.

Anna Ponder (Online/Virtual Therapy)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Anger is a human emotion with often a justifiable cause - expectation disappointment, protection of loved ones, and so on - and the key is to learn adaptive ways of communicating and having angry thoughts and emotions without crossing certain boundaries. I want to help you focus on replacing aggressive, unhealthy communication with calm, assertive communication. I want to help you increase distress tolerance and experience anger without letting it "hook" you.

Dr. Robert Nemerovski
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Anger is a normal human emotion that warns us that something is being done to us that is threatening, unjust, or gets in the way of getting our needs met. Of course, we can become angry at ourselves for a variety of reasons. Anger by nature is not a “problem” nor does it always require “anger management.” Unfortunately, for many people, anger can become a problem when:
•It makes us feel uncomfortable, “bad,” or out-of-control. Many people were “trained” by their families never to express anger, so they never learned how to understand, tolerate, process, and communicate about the emotion.
•We experience anger more intensely and/or more frequently than we can handle. If our anger becomes “toxic” and gets in the way of living a happy, healthy, productive life, then it deserves to be looked at.
•It leads to problems in communication within relationships. Anger in relationships tends to be a secondary emotion for other, deeper hurts that can be triggered by friends and loved ones. When this happens, communication and empathy suffer which can lead to further problems and pain and strains on our connections with other people.
•Anger triggers impulsive behaviors that limit our happiness and growth, hurt ourselves and others, and can ultimately cause major damage in our lives.
I help people for whom anger has become a problem through developing behavioral and emotional self-awareness, understanding about triggers and underlying causes, and effective coping skills (aka “tools”) that can help them manage their anger reactions in more constructive ways.
