Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor, PsyPact
I have had extensive training and experience working with couples, married or otherwise. First and foremost, I do not take sides. Neither of you is to blame for the trouble you have with each other. Both oof you are doing the best you can. The trouble in you relationship is not because either of you is a bad person but because you’re using patterns of interaction that don't work. I can help fix that.
<br>Both of you are right from your own perspective. My job is to help you get out of the blame game and find ways to build bridges between your differences so you can get back to enjoying being together.

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.
