Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Having worked with hundreds of couples over the last 40 years, I have developed a set of beliefs or ideas which, if adopted, help to ensure that a relationship will last. One of the most important is: Arguing helps nothing, so don't do it.
I like to say that I never met the person who started the fight! When two people argue, each of them believes that he or she is merely reacting to something the other one did or said. Neither one believes that they started the fight; but it started somehow, didn't it?
It is better to be close than it is to be “right.”
Blaming each other for the argument is counterproductive. So is trying to change the other person's opinion. Most couples who argue, argue about whose perception is "correct," whose way of doing something is the "right" way, and so on. The only possible outcome of these arguments is that someone will be "right" and someone will be "wrong." Do you know anyone who enjoys being wrong? Most people will fight tooth and nail to avoid being "wrong."
Commitment is the Foundation of the Therapy
Commitment implies that you are in the relationship "come Hell or high water," barring certain behaviors your partner might do such as having an affair (although I have seen a number of relationships recover from those, too). Unless each partner believes that the other one is committed, they will not feel safe to take risks in facing, addressing and working out the real, underlying issues that affect the relationship.

Relationships are hard! Asking for help is one of the bravest things a couple can do. I work with all types of couples navigating conflict, disconnection, trust, intimacy, ADHD dynamics, and the complicated work of building a life together. This is a space where both of you are heard, neither of you is the villain, and the goal is always a stronger, more connected partnership. Whether you are in crisis or simply want to grow together, you are in the right place!

Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
Even strong relationships can get stuck. You may find yourselves having the same argument on repeat, feeling more like roommates than partners, or struggling to communicate without shutting down or blowing up. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, healing from a rupture, or simply trying to feel closer again, relationship counseling can help.
At The Momentum Practice, I work with couples and individuals to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, deepen emotional connection, and move through conflict with more care and clarity. I also offer pre-marital counseling to support couples in building a strong foundation for partnership. I welcome all relationship structures—married, partnered, dating, LGBTQ+, monogamous, poly, or somewhere in between—and provide a nonjudgmental space for the real-life complexities of love, including identity shifts, parenting stress, and differing needs for closeness and independence.
My work is informed by Gottman principles, Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), all grounded in practical, evidence-based tools. I also specialize in supporting neurodivergent couples and relationships where one or both partners are navigating ADHD or anxiety. Together, we’ll uncover patterns that keep you feeling disconnected, strengthen your relational resilience, and build tools that support both connection and self-understanding.
With over 15 years of experience, I offer a collaborative, compassionate space where both partners can feel seen, supported, and equipped—whether you're working to reconnect or seeking clarity about your next steps. Let’s work together to move your relationship toward more meaning, ease, and connection. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

Merritt Posten Benz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, CDWF, MCLC
I completed advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. EFT can benefit couples who are struggling with conflict, distress, and poor communication and help improve emotion related problems and build connection. It can also help family members form more secure bonds with one another. EFT has also proven to be a powerful approach for couples dealing with infidelity or other more traumatic incidents, both recent and past and relies on the significance of secure attachment.

Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Most couples come to therapy having the same fight on repeat without understanding what the fight is actually about. At Simple Empathy we get underneath the conflict to the attachment needs, the unspoken expectations and the relational patterns that are driving the dynamic. Using Gottman Method, EFT and Collaborative Language approaches, we help couples stop being adversaries and start being partners again — or make clear-eyed decisions about what comes next. Five consecutive years recognized as Kansas City's top couples therapist. This is the work I was built for.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I specialize in working with estranged families and have done this work for over 25 years, long before “estrangement” became a common term. I support adult children and parents who are navigating separation, cutoff, long‑standing disconnection, or early attempts at reconnection. Many families come to me unsure what is possible, what they want, or how to move forward without repeating old patterns or causing further harm. The families I work with are often thoughtful and self‑aware, but feel unsure how to apply that insight to such a painful, layered situation.
My approach draws on family systems therapy and is rooted in trauma‑informed care, relational repair, and deep respect for the complexity of family history. Sessions often explore what led to the estrangement, what may or may not be repairable, and what each person needs in order to feel emotionally safe. We look closely at communication patterns, boundaries, intergenerational trauma, and the roles each person has carried over time. When reconnection is desired, we move in careful, stepwise ways that are tolerable and sustainable for everyone involved.
I meet with adult children and parents, as well as estranged adult siblings who wish to participate together. This service is offered online for adults in PSYPACT states, including families who live in different states and want to meet together in a format that is emotionally safer and more feasible. My role is to offer structure, clarity, and close attention so the work does not move faster than anyone is ready for or stay stuck when more is possible.
