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.

I am drawn to raw unfiltered courage. Going to therapy a brave choice and it takes tenacity and grit to feel differently and make changes in our lives. When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we become the author who writes the brave new ending. Together we will examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are holding you back identify the new choices and practices that will move you toward more authentic and wholehearted living. Rarely is that decision a whim or an impulse, and most likely you've been thinking about this for a while. Now here you are; being curious and maybe nervous and scared at the same time. In my opinion - that is bravery and brave things are rarely comfortable, but always worth trying.
Whether you are looking to make a shift in your relationships, provide help and guidance for your children, or you have reached a point in your own life where you no longer want to "figure it out alone"- you have come to a good place to get moving. It can get better.
We all struggle at times - with anxiety, depression, and stress - along with the circumstances in our lives that contribute to these feelings. The "feelings" themselves are never wrong. Where we get into trouble (and can feel stuck in them) is when we can't make sense of it all and isolation creeps in. You're not in this alone.

Narrative
Kourtney Bennett
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Therapy can offer a space to better understand yourself and the experiences that have shaped you. I help adults make sense of trauma, neurodivergence, burnout, identity, and life transitions by understanding their experiences within the context of their relationships, environments, and the systems they have navigated. Together, we'll build practical skills, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful, lasting change in a compassionate, collaborative space.

Jenna Wonish-Mottin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, RPT
Life can feel overwhelming, whether you're a child struggling to express emotions, a teen navigating social pressures, or an adult facing anxiety, relationship challenges, or the unique experience of being a Highly Sensitive Person. I offer a compassionate and creative approach to therapy, providing a safe and supportive space where you or your child can feel heard, understood, and empowered.
For children and teens, I specialize in online play therapy, using play and creativity as a natural way for them to process emotions and develop coping skills. For adults, I tailor therapy to your needs, incorporating understanding, conversation, reflection, education, skill-building, thought-based techniques, body-based techniques, and creative expressive techniques such as art, music, and sand tray, to help you gain insight, build confidence, improve relationships, and find relief from stress and self-doubt.
My approach is client-centered, meaning therapy is guided by what works best for you or your child. Together, we’ll explore challenges, uncover strengths, and create practical steps toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.
