Grief counselors and therapists in Saint Peters, MO

Hi, I’m KaMara, affectionately known as “KK.” I support children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, identity awareness, relationship concerns, work-life balance, and life transitions. After nearly two decades in healthcare operations, I expanded my work to mental and emotional well-being, drawing on personal and professional experience in inpatient and outpatient settings. I’m dedicated to helping you heal, feel, and recover.

​

I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Fisk University, a Master’s Degree in Healthcare Administration from The University of Kentucky, and a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Avila University. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), a Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP), a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Kansas, Alaska, Missiouri, and Oregon, and Career and Relationship Coach in the state of Indiana. I also have a certification in Child and Adolescent therapy. My scope of practice includes: Anxiety, Bullying/School Stressors, Career & Couples Coaching, Conflict Management, Depression, Domestic Violence, Eating Disorders, Grief/Loss, Identity Awareness, Spiritual Exploration, Suicide Prevention, Trauma, & Work/Life Balance. I specialize in mindfulness, career and life coaching, cognitive behavioral therapy, art therapy, child and adolescent therapy, and play therapy.

I have a personal trauma history and rather than have it “define” me, it has “refined” me. The mercy I received from my God and my wife, is the mercy that I freely give. I specialize in treating individuals who have experienced all manner of trauma. Although I am trained in several modes of therapy, CPT, EMDR, TFCBT, CBTSP, and TANT, I am a phenomenological person centered Rogerian therapist with an eclectic style, as no single mode of therapy can help every individual. It is genuine transparency (transporting you into me), Intimacy (into me I let you see), vulnerability, empathy, validation, and heart invested relationships that give people the desire, courage, strength, ability, will, hope, and belief to change / grow / heal. I have 40 plus years of therapy experience with individuals, couples, and groups. I have spent the last 40 years working with the most vulnerable members of society, striving for justice and peace on their behalf. I wholeheartedly believe that individuals change through the power and influence of love and unconditional positive regard. Every problem in the world is a relational problem and genuine empathy, love, and compassion are the instruments of healing. Just as many people have been damaged by key, primary relationships, one experiences healing through safe, trusting, loving relationships and I’ve devoted my life to being a healer.

Greetings! You're journey to a healthy new you starts here!

I am a seasoned therapist, with a background of working with many different populations including adults, adolescents, blended families, couples, and both professional and personal experience working with first responders. I am also trained in the trauma based approach ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), which is specifically designed to work with those struggling with PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, and Phobias.

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.

I have over 20 years of counseling experience. I enjoy meeting people where they are to assist with life's ups and downs. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and couples.

I believe in meeting my clients where they're at. They are the expert in their own story. I'm just here to listen, help process, maybe challenge, and encourage them in their journey. I went to Newman University for my Master's Degree and went on to get my Clinical License. I have worked with varying populations including teens, adults, geriatrics, the prison population, couples counseling, and Christian Counseling. I enjoy working with people who have been through trauma or grief or have experienced anxiety or depression.

I've been doing this work long enough to know that no two people heal the same way. My practice is built around that reality. I work with clients from childhood through late life — across trauma, grief, PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, and the particular kind of exhaustion that comes from carrying too much for too long. I'm EMDR-certified and trained in Neurofeedback and Childhood Complex Trauma, and I hold a gerontology certification for clients working through aging, loss, or end-of-life transitions. I don't use a one-size-fits-all model — I listen first, then we figure out together what kind of support will actually help you move forward.

I believe you've been gathering crucial information throughout your life that's needed to feel peace from painful past experiences and to create a fulfilling present life. The ability to access and apply that information is where I can help. Searching for the right therapist can be hard, but the search itself says that you're using your knowledge to take charge of finding the support you need. That's empowerment. Searching also means you believe in the possibility of making changes in your life. I call that hope. Empowerment and hope are all you need to start finding a new way of being.
