Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Anger is often misunderstood. Rather than seeing it as the problem, we'll become curious about what lies beneath it—whether that's hurt, fear, shame, disappointment, or unmet needs. By understanding the purpose anger has been serving, we can begin developing more flexible and effective ways of responding in difficult moments. Therapy isn't about getting rid of anger; it's about learning to use it wisely instead of letting it take over.

Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, LPC, LMHC, CCPT
All emotions are messengers that inform us that something is off in our internal system. The goal of anger management is to identify the underlying cause for the anger and resolve it through the use of Internal Family Systems. Anger itself is not the problem, but how it is expressed. Prior to using IFS, healthy ways to express anger are taught.

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.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
Anger can build quickly and feel hard to control, especially under stress or in certain situations. You may find yourself reacting more intensely than you want, saying things you regret, or struggling to calm down once you’re activated. Over time, this can affect your relationships, work, and overall sense of control.
Our work focuses on helping you understand what’s driving your reactions and how to respond differently in the moment. You’ll learn practical ways to slow things down, manage intensity, and communicate more effectively.
The goal is to help you stay in control, express yourself clearly, and handle challenging situations without things escalating.

Columbia is home to the University of Missouri, the flagship state university, as well as several other colleges, giving it a pronounced college-town character and a mental health landscape significantly shaped by the needs of a large and diverse student population navigating academic pressure, identity, and the transition to adulthood. The MU School of Health Professions and Missouri Psychiatric Center contribute to the city's mental health professional resources, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves both the university community and permanent residents. The city has a generally progressive and intellectually engaged culture with a positive attitude toward therapy, and LGBTQ+ affirmative care is more accessible here than in many other parts of Missouri. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic and identity stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and the particular experiences of a university community navigating complex social terrain in a politically divided state.
