Women's Issues
Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Women are socialized to shrink, accommodate and perform wellness while quietly falling apart. At Simple Empathy I work with women who are done with that. Whether you're navigating identity, relationships, career, motherhood, body image, trauma or the particular exhaustion of always being the one who holds everything together — this is a space where you don't have to manage how you're received. Direct, depth-oriented therapy that takes women's inner lives as seriously as they deserve. You are allowed to take up space here.

Taylor Esworthy
Marriage and Family Therapist, PLMFT
Women often carry complex expectations and pressures that can impact identity, relationships, and mental health. I provide a space to explore these experiences openly while helping you reconnect with your voice, your needs, and your sense of self.

Women's Issues
Katie at Jade Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
How many hats are you currently wearing? Which aren't fitting quite right? It is an overwhelming thing to be a woman in todays world, and finding time and space to just allow yourself to be present and feel is a challenge. I do believe, though, that it's a challenge worth taking! You are valuable and you don't have to feel stuck or angry or sad alone.

Women's Issues
Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Women’s issues often involve navigating identity, desire, relational patterns, power, and embodiment across life stages. My work integrates psychoanalytic exploration and somatic awareness to support women in developing a deeper relationship with themselves and their emotional life. This process fosters greater agency, authenticity, and self-expression.

Women's Issues
Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Daughters, sisters, mothers, partners, confidants, innovators, storytellers, trailblazers. There is no shortage of roles that women take on throughout life. These roles are often embraced with immeasurable heart and grit and little-to-no complaint. And yet, struggle exists. You may be hesitant to discuss these issues, or you may feel like screaming them from the rooftops. Either way, I’d love to hear them. Too often, women carry shame, guilt, and self-criticism on top of the day-to-day stress of juggling it all. From difficulties surrounding career, pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood to the lasting effects of abuse and interpersonal trauma, therapy can provide a much-needed space to process these experiences. I am deeply passionate about women’s advocacy and empowerment and have trained extensively in women’s mental health.

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.
