Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
If your career feels like it's eating your identity — or you've built a life that looks successful from the outside and feels hollow on the inside — that's worth paying attention to. At Simple Empathy we explore the intersection of work, worth and self through a depth-oriented lens. What story are you living out professionally? Whose expectations are you still trying to meet? What would you actually choose if you stopped being afraid? This isn't resume coaching. It's the deeper work underneath the career crisis.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
I take a coaching approach to career counseling. My belief is that I am the expert on specific career development tools, and YOU are the expert on you. I defer to your expertise on you to help us discover the direction in which we will develop your career portfolio. Note: I didn't say career path. It is a rare thing that our way forward is straight or clear. Coaching offers a space to develop your skills, identify possibilities, and develop flexibility, resilience, and insight to take advantage of the right opportunity at the right time. Together we can explore your values, your strengths, your character, your growth orientation, and your definition of success to create a strategy for career growth.

Alan Jacobson, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
I provide career counseling and executive coaching to those who are just starting out, considering a change in career paths, or want to reach their full potential and be content with their current path. I often braid traditional coaching with therapeutic techniques such as cognitive-behavioral and narrative therapy for powerful results. Career counseling is well-timed at many stages of life.

Independence is a Kansas City suburb with a distinctive character rooted in its historical significance as the starting point of the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails and as the world headquarters of the Community of Christ—a significant Latter Day Saint denomination—as well as being the hometown of President Harry S. Truman, a combination that gives the city a particular civic identity unusual for a suburb of its size. The religious community anchored by the Community of Christ Temple creates both a strong support network and specific mental health considerations around faith, doubt, and community belonging for those navigating their relationship with the church. Centerpoint Medical Center and the broader Kansas City health system provide behavioral health resources to Independence and surrounding communities. Common therapy concerns include faith and spiritual identity, commuter stress from the Kansas City metro, economic anxiety, family and relationship issues, and the particular dynamics of a community where civic pride and religious heritage are deeply intertwined.
