Taylor Esworthy
Marriage and Family Therapist, PMFT
In relationship work, I focus on understanding patterns in communication, conflict, and emotional responses. We’ll slow things down so both partners feel heard and understood. The goal is to build emotional safety and strengthen your connection, not just solve surface-level problems.

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. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
My work with couples often focuses on finding the underlying conflict and/or unmet needs that can end up festering and eroding the foundation of the relationship. I help each partner discover these needs and communicate in more accurate and productive ways. This can help each other genuinely want to understand and meet each other's needs, instead of deny/defend patterns that may exist. In cases of various forms of infidelity, after the direction and goal of therapy is explored, we may examine conditions that led to the behavior and learn from them to build a stronger and healthy relationship. Moreover, this process can help toward establishing long term forgiveness and trust. It can be surprising what is possible to overcome and how much better things can be.

Relationships
Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with couples at all stages of their relationships, from those looking to deepen connection to those navigating significant strain or considering major decisions about the future. Relationships can be both deeply fulfilling and profoundly challenging, and many couples find themselves stuck in patterns of miscommunication, disconnection, or recurring conflict.
My approach is active, direct, and grounded in helping both partners better understand not only each other, but their own contributions to the dynamic. I focus on identifying patterns, improving communication, and fostering greater emotional awareness and accountability within the relationship.
I also draw from structured approaches, including discernment counseling when one partner feels uncertain about whether to stay or leave, creating space for thoughtful, intentional decision-making.
The goal is not simply to reduce conflict, but to help couples build more meaningful, resilient, and satisfying ways of relating—whether that leads to strengthening the relationship or gaining clarity about next steps.
