Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Transitions are disorienting because they require you to let go of an identity before the new one is fully formed. Whether you're navigating a career change, a move, the end of a relationship, becoming a parent, or any other major shift — the discomfort you're feeling isn't weakness. It's the gap between who you were and who you're becoming. At Simple Empathy we help you move through that gap with clarity, honesty and depth. We'll look at what you're leaving behind, what you're afraid of, and who you actually want to be on the other side.

Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
Periods of life transition can leave even confident people feeling uncertain about what comes next. Changes in career, relationships, identity, or major life roles often bring both opportunity and emotional strain. In therapy, I help clients think clearly through transitions, process the stress of change, and move forward with greater confidence and stability.

Starlain Saldana
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Whether we actively seek a life transition or one happens to us outside our control, we will process the areas of loss and the difficulty these moments often bring to our lives. We will also look for space in these transitions that offer opportunities to re-evaluate the direction of our lives in order to build a life more aligned with our ultimate wants and hopes.

Jenna Poppe
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, NNC, PLPC | ADHD + Relationship Therapist
Transitions are hard for everyone and for neurodivergent folks they can be particularly destabilizing. ADHD brains often thrive on routine and struggle with uncertainty, which means life changes can trigger anxiety, shutdown, emotional dysregulation, and a deep sense of being untethered. Whether you are navigating a career change, relationship shift, move, loss, or a season of life that simply no longer fits, I can help. I work with clients to find their footing, process the feelings, and move forward with intention and confidence.

Dr. Kimberly E. Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, APIT
Life is a series of changes, so good, some bad. Resiliency and flexibility are critical tools to help us navigate through. Change your perspective to see all the options before you. I help people persevere through "adulting", getting the first professional job, relationships, marriage, divorce, grief and loss and any other life transition. Your role in the family, at work, relationships and life also may need to change to achieve the balance and support you deserve. "We train people how to treat us." Sometimes we need to also train ourselves to become what we should be.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Every major transition — a move, a loss, a new beginning, the end of something that defined you — strips away the structure you had been living inside without noticing. What remains can feel like nothing. That blankness is not emptiness. It is the space before the next thing, and it requires a particular kind of patience. Therapy during transition is not about figuring out the next step. It is about tolerating the interval long enough to discover what actually wants to emerge, rather than grabbing for the first thing that will make the uncertainty stop.

Pattie Vargas
Counselor/Therapist, CBC®️Certified Provider, Kessler Certified Grief Educator
Life transitions can be a catalyst for new growth or can leave us stuck in paralysis while we grieve all we are leaving behind. The end of a marriage, losing ground in your career, moving from a familiar hometown can all leave us feeling untethered and unable to find our way. Even the most accomplished and confident person can find themselves at a loss when all the recognizable signposts have been moved. During our time together, we can identify both the sorrow in moving forward and the new opportunities that may present themselves in disguise!

St. Louis sits at a crossroads of the Midwest and the South, and its deeply segregated geography shapes a mental health landscape where therapists frequently address racial trauma, economic stress, and community-level grief rooted in the city's long history of systemic inequality. The 2014 Ferguson uprising brought national attention to St. Louis and left a lasting psychological mark on many residents, and therapists specializing in racial trauma, activism fatigue, and community healing remain in strong demand. Washington University School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital provide world-class institutional mental health resources, with a strong private practice community concentrated in Clayton, the Central West End, and South City. St. Louis's lower cost of living relative to coastal cities makes quality private therapy more financially accessible for many residents.
