Jessica Oliver, Aspire Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Our founder is passionate about trauma and PTSD treatment. We believe that you don't have to be in therapy for years to find healing and move forward from trauma. You just need effective, evidence based treatment. So that is what we survive. Trauma therapy is hard work, but your therapist will be with you ever step of the way. Our office is a safe space, and if you have a particularly upsetting session you can always calm your mind in our meditation room before returning to your daily life. We know it's hard to face what happened to you. But our compassionate therapists want to provide you effective treatment so you can get better quickly.

PTSD/Trauma
Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Trauma can continue to shape how you feel, respond, and relate long after the original experience has passed. It may show up as hypervigilance, emotional numbing, reactivity, or a persistent sense of being on edge. Many women find themselves trying to function while their nervous system remains stuck in protective patterns. In our work together, we focus on understanding these responses, gently increasing your sense of safety and regulation, and building new ways of relating to yourself and others that are not defined by past experiences.

Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Trauma isn't just what happened to you — it's what happened inside you in response, and how your system has been organizing itself around that ever since. At Simple Empathy I bring a trauma-informed, depth-oriented approach that draws on Narrative Therapy, IFS and somatic and EMDR-informed techniques to help you process what happened, understand how it shaped you, and build a life that isn't still being run by the past. This work is done at your pace, with your full agency. You've already survived the hard part. This is about finally being free of it.
