Emotional Abuse
Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor, PsyPact
Emotional abuse is not considered a crime. No one gets arrested for this kind of abuse. The victim has to show bruises and lacerations for an investigation to occur. Clever abusers and predators know this. Rather than beating the body of their victim, they will work with their minds, gaslight them and continue to distort their belief in their own perception of reality. The worst of emotional abuse is that the victim can feel hopeless, abandoned, misunderstood and even worry about being crazy. Call me and together we'll find ways to restore U to the healthy quality life you deserve: 913-991-2302

Emotional Abuse
Jennifer Kehrle
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Emotional abuse is a deeply misunderstood issue and all too often the impact of emotional abuse is minimized. I use IFS therapy, somatic therapy, and compassion work to help clients heal from the impacts of emotional abuse. Through this process I help clients find their voices and learn how to set healthy boundaries, let go of trying to please others, and put themselves first.

Emotional Abuse
Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Emotional abuse is insidious precisely because it leaves no visible marks. It makes you question your memory, your perception, your worth. It's designed to. At Simple Empathy we work with survivors of emotional abuse to rebuild trust in their own reality — what they felt, what they saw, what they knew. Using Narrative Therapy and IFS we'll untangle what was done to you from who you actually are, and help you build a self that doesn't need external validation to feel real. Direct, honest and unflinching work for people who are done doubting themselves.

Online in Kansas City, MO Missouri
Kansas City sits at the Missouri-Kansas border and draws clients from both states, with therapists well-versed in navigating Midwestern values, family expectations, and the tensions between tradition and personal growth. The city has a significant African American population and community-level trauma tied to historical redlining and economic inequality, driving demand for culturally affirming and social-justice-informed practitioners. The University of Kansas Health System and Saint Luke's Health System provide major institutional mental health resources for the region. Kansas City's art and music scene sustains a creative community with its own distinct mental health needs, and therapists familiar with the psychology of creative careers are present.
