Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Kansas City, MO

Hello, I’m Abby Pease, LCSW, QS! As a therapist, I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where clients feel truly seen and supported. I bring warmth, energy, and a touch of humor into my work, helping clients navigate challenges while also reminding them that healing doesn’t always have to be heavy. My goal is to walk alongside you with compassion and clarity as you move toward growth and resilience.

It’s exhausting when your own mind feels like a hurdle. Maybe you’re navigating intrusive thoughts that feel impossible to shut off, or you’re struggling to get things done and remember what’s important while your brain feels like it’s constantly misfiring. Perhaps you’re grieving a version of yourself that felt certain, watching the life you planned get derailed by chronic illness or the weight of a diagnosis you didn’t ask for. When your "to-do" list feels like a mountain and your past keeps creeping into your present, it’s easy to feel lost or, worse, dismissed by the people who are supposed to help.

I’m a licensed therapist (LPC, LCPC) who works with individuals, couples, and families dealing with things like anxiety, relationship stress, ADHD, trauma, and big life transitions. I bring both clinical experience and real-life understanding into the room, including my own experience navigating complex family dynamics. My goal is to create a space where you can be real. We’ll work together in a way that feels grounded, honest, and actually helpful.

I love working with folks who have lived a life of being misunderstood and feeling "alien" so they can finally experience acceptance and confident authenticity.

Very empathic, resilient, welcoming and non judgmental.
