Robert Good
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., Th.M., LPC, CART
Marriage and couples counseling provides an arena where two people can learn to communicate individual needs and find ways to resolve relationship differences. All marriages go through difficult times. We are committed to helping couples identify the sources of dissatisfaction and conflict, and help couples develop new strategies for solving those problems. The goal of marriage counseling is the resolution of conflict: the development and strengthening of communication skills, and the growth of intimacy and mutual acceptance.

Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
My work with couples often focuses on finding the underlying conflict and/or unmet needs that can end up festering and eroding the foundation of the relationship. I help each partner discover these needs and communicate in more accurate and productive ways. This can help each other genuinely want to understand and meet each other's needs, instead of deny/defend patterns that may exist. In cases of various forms of infidelity, after the direction and goal of therapy is explored, we may examine conditions that led to the behavior and learn from them to build a stronger and healthy relationship. Moreover, this process can help toward establishing long term forgiveness and trust. It can be surprising what is possible to overcome and how much better things can be.

Kevin Jones
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, NEC
I help couples better understand the negative patterns they get stuck in and the deeper emotions underneath their conflict. Therapy focuses on improving communication, rebuilding connection, and creating a stronger sense of safety and understanding in the relationship.

Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Most couples come to therapy having the same fight on repeat without understanding what the fight is actually about. At Simple Empathy we get underneath the conflict to the attachment needs, the unspoken expectations and the relational patterns that are driving the dynamic. Using Gottman Method, EFT and Collaborative Language approaches, we help couples stop being adversaries and start being partners again — or make clear-eyed decisions about what comes next. Five consecutive years recognized as Kansas City's top couples therapist. This is the work I was built for.

Renee Woodall
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Relationships can bring deep comfort—and deep challenge. Many couples come to therapy feeling distant, misunderstood, or caught in repeating patterns that leave them both feeling frustrated and alone. In therapy, we’ll create space for each partner to be heard and understood. You’ll learn to recognize unproductive cycles, communicate more effectively, and respond to each other with honesty and care. Whether you’re rebuilding after years of strain, adjusting to life changes like empty nest or retirement, or simply wanting to reconnect, couples therapy can help you strengthen your relationship and rediscover a sense of partnership, respect, and closeness.
