Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Codependency is what happens when you've learned that love requires self-erasure. When taking care of others feels safer than having needs of your own. When saying no feels like a threat to the relationship. At Simple Empathy we use IFS and Narrative Therapy to help you understand where that pattern came from, which parts of you maintain it, and what it would look like to be in relationship without losing yourself in the process. This work is direct and sometimes uncomfortable. It's also some of the most freeing work a person can do.

Benjamin Smalley, TherapyKC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Codependency usually means a difficulty in being a separate person. It can be hard to disagree and have your own inner experiences that are separate from a close person. It becomes clearer when we recognize that we struggle with: putting others’ needs ahead of your own, setting boundaries, or feel responsible for how others feel. Over time, this can lead to resentment, burnout, or a loss of your sense of self. Therapy focuses on helping you reconnect with your own needs, develop healthier boundaries, and build relationships that feel more balanced and sustainable.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Codependency often reflects early relational patterns in which emotional needs, boundaries, and self-worth became entangled with the needs of others. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration and somatic awareness to understand how these patterns continue to shape adult relationships. Together, we work toward greater emotional autonomy, clarity, and the capacity to remain connected to oneself while being close to others.

Kansas City sits at the Missouri-Kansas border and draws clients from both states, with therapists well-versed in navigating Midwestern values, family expectations, and the tensions between tradition and personal growth. The city has a significant African American population and community-level trauma tied to historical redlining and economic inequality, driving demand for culturally affirming and social-justice-informed practitioners. The University of Kansas Health System and Saint Luke's Health System provide major institutional mental health resources for the region. Kansas City's art and music scene sustains a creative community with its own distinct mental health needs, and therapists familiar with the psychology of creative careers are present.
