Dr. Leigh Anne Randa
Psychologist, PhD
Treatment for acute stress disorders begins with evidence based therapy. Dr. Randa uses humor and gentle guidance to help us recognize how our thinking and perception about events, relationships, and life in general contribute to our distress. The overwhelmed feeling we all get occasionally can morph into a more constant sense of paralysis. The pressure we put on ourselves in this age of bombardment with information and demands on our time to meet unrealistic demands can be put to rest as we learn how to refine our priorities and change our thinking.

Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Chronic stress is your body and mind telling you that something is out of alignment — that you're carrying more than your share, saying yes when you mean no, or running a pace that isn't sustainable. At Simple Empathy we don't just teach stress management techniques. We look at why you're stressed, what you're afraid would happen if you slowed down, and what the relentless doing is keeping you from feeling. Direct, honest work for people who are exhausted and ready for something to actually change.

Oftentimes people come to counseling not because they have a specific mental illness, but simply because they're overwhelmed by the stress in their lives. Our therapists give you a safe space to talk through those stressors. We'll help you process your thoughts about situations in your life and commit to values driven actions to reduce that stress.

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.
