Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
If you're looking for someone to validate everything you're already thinking, I'm probably not your therapist. But if you're ready to actually look at what's keeping you stuck — in your relationships, your patterns, your story — then we might be a really good fit. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with five consecutive years recognized as Kansas City's top couples therapist, pre-marital counselor and marriage and family therapist by KC Magazine, The Pitch KC and the Kansas City Star. I work with individuals, couples and families who are done just surviving and ready to understand themselves at a deeper level. Therapy here is warm, direct and honest — sometimes uncomfortably so. That's the point.

Benjamin Smalley, TherapyKC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I believe therapy should be deeply personal. No two people receive the same approach in my office. Instead, we will work to form a collaborative relationship with spirits of curiosity, challenge and connection. If you come to my office you can expect to understand not just your symptoms, but the underlying patterns and experiences that shaped them. Together, we focus on real, lasting change to those symptoms. Therapy should be more than coping and learning. It should to be transformative too. If you're ready for therapy that goes beyond surface-level solutions and meets you where you actually are, I invite you to reach out.

Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I believe therapy works best when it feels human, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your lived experience. I offer online therapy grounded in trauma-informed, systemic, and strengths-based care, with a strong commitment to affirming queer, polyamorous, and non-traditional relationship structures.
My approach centers safety, curiosity, and consent—both in the therapeutic relationship and in the pace of our work. I work with individuals and relationships navigating trauma, identity exploration, relational stress, and the impacts of burnout or chronic overwhelm. I also have a particular appreciation for working with helpers and clinicians, especially those carrying the weight of caring for others while trying to care for themselves.
In our work together, I aim to create a space where you don’t have to perform, explain, or justify who you are. Therapy with me is about building insight, strengthening resilience, and reconnecting with parts of yourself that may have been shaped by survival but are ready for something more sustainable and compassionate.

Starlain Saldana
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I bring my relational and authentic self to my identity as a psychologist - wanting you to experience me as both human and professional. I bring curiosity and engagement to our discussions, and will be an active participant in the process of walking alongside you as we explore your life. I am casual in my approach and strive to create a space where you can come to trust me and allow me a window into your whole self.
