I have a threadless setup with no spacers above the stem. What is the simplest way to raise my handlebars?
One or more of the three options
Presuming no carbon parts (bars, stem or steerer), replacing these is well within the capabilities of of anyone who is moderately DIY capable with basic tools (Hex keys should be all you need).

Replace the stem with one that has a bit of an angle.
Stems are available in many combinations of lengths and angles, so if you're dissatisfied with the reach on the bike too you can solve that in one go as well
Every respectable LBS should have a ton of options on hand.
Btw many forks require a minimum of one spacer above the stem, especially those with carbon steerer tubes. You should double check your stem is installed complaint with the manufacturer's requirements.

You can get another handlebar with a different value of "rise":
There are models with very high rise:
You can go to the extreme (might be very flexy, but OK for e.g. commuting):
