Life Transitions
Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Transitions are disorienting because they require you to let go of an identity before the new one is fully formed. Whether you're navigating a career change, a move, the end of a relationship, becoming a parent, or any other major shift — the discomfort you're feeling isn't weakness. It's the gap between who you were and who you're becoming. At Simple Empathy we help you move through that gap with clarity, honesty and depth. We'll look at what you're leaving behind, what you're afraid of, and who you actually want to be on the other side.

Life Transitions
Lauren Chavis
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Even positive changes can leave you feeling unsettled. Career changes, becoming a parent, moving, relationship changes, shifting family roles, or entering a new stage of life can challenge your sense of identity and direction. Therapy can help you make sense of what is changing, clarify what matters to you, and move forward with greater confidence.

Life Transitions
Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
Periods of life transition can leave even confident people feeling uncertain about what comes next. Changes in career, relationships, identity, or major life roles often bring both opportunity and emotional strain. In therapy, I help clients think clearly through transitions, process the stress of change, and move forward with greater confidence and stability.

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.
