Dr Laura Soden
Psychologist, PhD, Clinical Psychology
Anger management requires the individual to own his/her emotions, including anger, rather than ascribing them to the other. Once owned, overwhelming feelings become manageable because managing them doesn't rely on changing the other. Preferred method: cognitive-behavioral techniques.

Fufan Chiang
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Your anger often explodes before you even have a chance to process what is happening. If your relationship is at a breaking point because of your anger, it is a sign that your nervous system is completely overwhelmed and screaming for relief. In our work together, we won’t just try to "control" or suppress your outbursts. We will safely target the root causes—the deep-seated anxiety, hypervigilance, and perfectionism driving that intense pressure—so you can find a lasting sense of internal calm, protect the people you love, and save your connection.

Anger Mgmt
Michael Brustein
Psychologist, Psy.D
The first step in managing anger is identifying when you are experiencing it. I will help you identify the physical, behavioral, cognitive and emotional indicators that will assist you in recognizing your anger. Through mindfulness skills I will help you be more comfortable experiencing anger as you observe it more dispassionately and refrain from acting on it. I will teach you radical acceptance, which is a component of mindfulness. This will reduce the amount you replay angry narratives in your head. Although you will still feel angry the duration of the experience may be shorter and less intense. You will learn how to properly use your anger as a tool for change in a productive way.
Additionally, insight into self-esteem issues, or understanding how past psychological injuries may contribute to anger experiences can be valuable. Often people who are angry about an injustice may not be just responding to the current stressor. Rather, the stressor may link back to core issues that are also getting activated. I will help you gain insight into angry dynamics which will enhance your capacity to distance yourself from them. If your anger is connected to anxiety and fear I will help you learn how to manage the anxiety to offset frustration, irritability or anger
