Individual Therapy Hi! I am Alexandra "Alex" S. Ross, a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri. I utilize a variety of science-based theories and techniques that have been clinically shown to help people change, experience relief from suffering, and improve their lives. I specialize in providing a highly individualized and integrative approach to therapy, tailored specifically to meet your individual needs. By providing authenticity, unconditional acceptance, and support I provide a safe space for us to work together so that you can be your true self, reach your goals, cope with stressors, and make positive changes in your life. My post-Master's training and experience as a diagnostician allows me with the expertise to provide you with an accurate and comprehensive diagnosis if you like one. I can also refrain from diagnosing if you would prefer. I do not bill insurance, which means that your diagnosis will not be added to your medical record unless you would like me to do so. Once we have determined a diagnosis or problem to work on together, we will make a list of goals and a comprehensive treatment plan that will address the cause and the symptoms (or whichever you feel most comfortable with addressing). I have a lot of experience working with individuals with PSTD, cPTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder, trauma including long-term relational trauma (e.g. - emotional neglect, frequent invalidation, witnessing or experiencing frequent conflict, etc.), Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety, and Dissociative Identity Disorder. I have experience working with individuals with other diagnoses, problems, and goals as well, so feel free to ask if I can help you with your reason for seeking therapy! I provide Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) that includes symptom and skill-use tracking, coping skills training during sessions and/or group therapy, and assignments for in-between sessions. For clients wanting to do DBT, group therapy is encouraged but not required For those with trauma, I provide a version of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) that replaces eye movement with tapping in order to induce bilateral stimulation in the brain. This form of trauma therapy allows you more comfortably work on memories that cause distress and prevent emotional triggers that are often caused by an underlying trauma. For those with Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly known as multiple personality disorder) I utilize Colin Ross's (no relation) Trauma Model Therapy for stabilization. I have had great success helping individuals with DID significantly decrease gaps in memory and experience more fulfilling and stable lives. In my work with couples, I often focus on integrating Imago, DBT, CBT, and Gottman principles to help improve communication, heal past wounds, and increase relationship satisfaction. I also enjoy helping individuals, couples, triads, and polycules who are experiencing any issues related to polyamory or ethnical non-monogamy. I also provide gender-affirming therapy, assessments, and letters for trans individuals and stay on top of state laws to make sure my trans clients receive care. Gender Assessments and Diagnostic Assessments are available for adults and children age 6+. Ongoing therapy is available for couples and individuals aged 14 and over. I am currently charging $150/hour. I can provide sessions twice weekly, weekly, or every 2 weeks, When combined with weekly group therapy, I will see clients less frequent for individual. Contact me at the link above, email info@mosaicmh.com, or text or call 816-200-0560. She provides online therapy to individuals in the state of MO and in-person therapy at her office in the Brookside neighborhood of Kansas City, MO.
