Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Leaving is complicated. Healing is complicated. And finding a therapist who won't treat you like a fragile victim while also truly understanding the complexity of abusive dynamics is harder than it should be. At Simple Empathy I bring a direct, informed and deeply respectful approach to survivors of domestic abuse and violence. We'll work through trauma, rebuild your sense of self, and examine the patterns — in relationships, in family systems, in the stories you inherited — that made you vulnerable in the first place. You are not broken. You are someone who survived, and that's exactly where we start.

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.
