About me

Welcome! My name is Isabelle Bauguess and I am a clinical social worker located in Topeka, KS. My last name may be pronounced ‘bogus’, but I promise you I’m the real deal.

I provide therapy services to adult clients and specialize in…

• Relationship and interpersonal issues

• Intense, overwhelming emotions

• PTSD, CPTSD and developmental trauma

• Life transitions

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Stress

I have significant experience working with individuals on a variety of conditions/symptoms/experiences/issues and encourage you to reach out with questions and details about your own circumstances and goals for therapy.

My approach to therapy is eclectic, collaborative, and tailored to your unique presentation, preferences, and needs. In our work together, I may draw upon my training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Polyvagal Theory and other somatic approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), amongst others. What I offer goes beyond typical talk therapy; it is an invitation to step into new ways of being inside and outside of our sessions with the guidance and support needed to achieve truly transformational change.

I believe we all deserve the opportunity and the guidance needed to change the aspects of our life that are no longer serving us. It's a courageous act to take this first step and I'm here to stand with you, honoring your therapeutic journey with authentic connection and nonjudgmental acceptance. I am looking forward to meeting with you.
