Emotional Abuse
Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Under the guise of trauma focused therapy, the more subtle and therefore sometimes most confusing aspects of emotional abuse can become critical to unwind and understand both in the context of past childhood experiences with immature caregivers, how these experiences can inform the choice of romantic partners later in life and how to move past these patterns and expectations to allow for growth and freedom from relationships that detract rather than add.

Emotional Abuse
Peter Gould
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in emotional abuse, I provide compassionate and effective treatment to address emotional trauma. My approach, informed by evidence-based therapies, is tailored to meet each individual's unique needs. Trauma can stem from any stressful event that threatens your safety, triggering emotional, psychological, or physical responses that deeply affect your mental health. Unfortunately, many people don't take the time to properly process their trauma, which can lead to long-term mental health issues. My goal is to help you navigate and heal from these experiences for lasting well-being.

Emotional Abuse
Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Emotional abuse is an often hidden or hard to pinpoint type of abuse that may occur in our adult relationships, those with our parents growing up, or both. One definition of emotional abuse includes psychological (i.e. non-physical) behaviors such as threats, insults, constant monitoring or “checking in,” controlling, shaming, humiliation, intimidation, isolation or ignoring behaviors.
You may also be dealing with childhood emotional abuse which can be defined as, 'sustained, repetitive, inappropriate emotional response to the child’s experience of emotion and its accompanying expressive behavior’. Healing emotional abuse allows us to create new blueprints for moving forward with new outcomes and to create new relationships with ourselves and others.
Healing involves speaking our truth, learning about connecting to our emotions, boundary setting, connecting to our bodies and beginning to create new ways of building loving safe relationships with ourselves and others. Depending upon your own history we may make use of variety of tools to heal, including somatic work, trauma work, journaling, boundary setting, inner child work, family systems work, art therapy, or many other paths that can lead to reclaiming your truth.

Emotional Abuse
Downhome Counseling , Susan Glass, PsyD., LMLP
Psychologist, PsyD., LMLP
Emotional abuse is as dangerous, and in some ways more dangerous than physical. Physical abuse can break bones, leave bruises, but emotional abuse leaves scars that no-one sees and are harder to understand. The feelings are often the same from not feeling safe, feelings of isolation and walking on eggshells, but it is often harder for the individual to comprehend and much more difficult to share. This type of abuse can occur in any type of relationship (romantic, friend or family). Working through this will help you learn to feel, to trust your feelings, to learn to value yourself and to gain back control of your world.

Topeka is Kansas's state capital and a city with an unusually significant mental health history—the Menninger Clinic, for decades one of the world's leading psychiatric institutions, was founded and based in Topeka before relocating to Houston in 2003, leaving a legacy of mental health awareness and professional expertise that still influences the community. The city is also historically significant as the location of the plaintiffs in Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark Supreme Court desegregation case, and the ongoing work of racial equity remains an important dimension of community life and mental health context. Stormont Vail Health provides behavioral health services, and a private therapy sector serves Topeka's mix of government, legal, and healthcare workers alongside the broader population. Common therapy concerns include depression, anxiety, racial justice and identity, economic stress in a mid-size state capital, and the particular challenges of a community working to reimagine its future.
