There is hope and healing from being the target of Narcissistic abuse. It takes self-compassion, freedom and the resolve to set boundaries that serve you and promote and protect the life you want to live. Free of judgement and filled with possibility.

Narcissism
Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Whether you're in a relationship with someone who has narcissistic traits or you're working to understand your own patterns, this is nuanced and often painful territory. At Simple Empathy I bring a clear-eyed, direct approach — no jargon, no demonizing, no oversimplification. If you're a survivor of narcissistic abuse, we'll rebuild your reality, your self-trust and your sense of worth. If you're someone working to understand your own narcissistic defenses, I'll meet you there too — with honesty and without judgment. Real change requires real honesty, and that's exactly what this work demands.

Narcissism
Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
There is unfortunately a great deal of misinformation about NPD in the media and online. It is also frequently misdiagnosed for other conditions. I have experience both assessing and treating NPD. In terms of assessment, I use reliable clinical instruments (i.e., those used in clinical trials) to establish/rule out this diagnosis. For therapy, I apply several forms of contemporary psychodynamic therapies shown to be helpful in treating personality disorders (i.e., Transference-Focused Psychotherapy, Supportive-Expressive Therapy, and Mentalization-Based Treatment). I have published professional works (i.e., articles and a book) on psychodynamic therapy as well. Please note that I do not do couple's therapy and that I will not schedule appointments intended for other people (e.g., spouses, family members). All potential patients must contact me directly.

Jarrece Patrick
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC
Navigating relationships with someone who has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, or healing from its impact, can be confusing, painful, and exhausting. I work with clients to understand these dynamics, set healthy boundaries, and develop strategies for emotional safety and self-empowerment. Using an empathetic, evidence-informed approach, I help clients rebuild confidence, process their experiences, and regain control over their lives, fostering resilience and personal growth.

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.
