Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
If you're looking for someone to validate everything you're already thinking, I'm probably not your therapist. But if you're ready to actually look at what's keeping you stuck — in your relationships, your patterns, your story — then we might be a really good fit. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with five consecutive years recognized as Kansas City's top couples therapist, pre-marital counselor and marriage and family therapist by KC Magazine, The Pitch KC and the Kansas City Star. I work with individuals, couples and families who are done just surviving and ready to understand themselves at a deeper level. Therapy here is warm, direct and honest — sometimes uncomfortably so. That's the point.

Existential
Kirk Shelton
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I approach therapy as a practical and relational process rather than a set of techniques. People usually come in when long-standing ways of coping no longer fit their current life, even if those strategies once made sense. My work focuses on understanding how those patterns developed, how they continue to function, and how they can be reorganized in ways that support greater flexibility and self-direction. Change matters to me as it shows up in how a person lives, relates, and responds outside the therapy space.

Dr. Trey Cole
Psychologist, Psy.D., ABPP, DAAETS
Therapy, at its best, is a space where you can slow down, turn inward, and begin to understand yourself more fully. My role is to walk alongside you in that process — with honesty, care, and deep respect for your experience.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach draws from CBT, ACT, trauma-focused therapy, and existential therapy, always tailored to what feels most useful for you. But more than any particular method, I believe healing happens through genuine connection — when you feel truly seen and understood.
Together, we'll explore the patterns, emotions, and beliefs that shape how you move through the world. We'll build practical tools where you need them, and make space for the deeper questions when those matter more. My hope is that our work helps you relate to yourself with greater compassion, and to your life with greater clarity and intention.
19 Years Experience
Online in Kansas City, MO Missouri
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.
