Gottman Method Couples Therapy
Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I'm not your ordinary therapist. I have 24 + years of experience as a therapist, plus I have the life experience of a wife of 43 years, mother of two, and grandmother of four. I am the therapist that people come in and say, "Wow, you helped me more in one session than I got out of years with several other therapists." I am fun, direct, empathetic, but direct so that you can have the results you are looking for in a short amount of time. I love what I do, so it's not work to me. I'm very interactive in sessions so there won't be many times where I just sit there and don't provide feedback. I'm the type of therapist that will call you out on your stuff so I can help you meet your goals and have better relationships with others. I love talking with potential clients to see if I'm a good fit. After a phone call with me you will be able to get a sense if I'm a good fit for you. Please give me a call and let's chat!

Taylor Esworthy
Marriage and Family Therapist, PMFT
Hi, I’m Taylor. If you’ve found your way here, something in your life might feel heavier than it looks on the outside. Maybe you’re showing up for everyone else while running on empty, feeling stuck in relationship patterns, or navigating a transition that’s left you unsure of who you are. In therapy, you don’t have to have it all together, you just get to be human. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and able to move toward meaningful, lasting change.

Merritt Posten Benz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, CDWF, MCLC
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.

Owelleth Mental Health
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MedFT
I am deeply passionate about being a therapist it is much more than a career to me and shows in the work I do, as well as the ongoing learning and trainings I am continually seeking. I believe healing happens when people feel truly seen, safe, and understood—often for the first time. I am especially drawn to working with trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, depression, grief, and the relational challenges that shape this. Many of my clients identify as "neurodivergent (ADHD, autism, AuDHD) and struggle with things like low self-esteem, perfectionism, and expressing needs/wants. Often this can affect how and who we love, function, and navigate major life transitions like divorce, parenting, career, grief, and medical care-taking. I don’t view therapy as “fixing” people, but as walking alongside them as they reconnect with their strengths, rewrite painful patterns, and build relationships rooted in security and self-trust. This work matters to me because I have seen how powerful it is when someone realizes their story makes sense—and that change is possible. My focus is on building a safe and trusting relationship where I get to know you as an individual without judgement. I have worked in hospitals, schools, community/public health, but nothing has brought me as much joy and fulfillment as private practice.

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.
