Behind the Therapist
Hey there, it’s nice to meet you - I'm Alex Yoss.
I offer a laid-back, open, and transparent approach to therapy. I believe in meaningful, intentional sessions without rigid structures. Honesty is key, and I’m not afraid to challenge you when needed.
Humor is part of my style, making our sessions lighter. I respect the bravery it takes to seek therapy and ensure your trust is honored. Your time and investment are valued, and I’m committed to your progress.
Communication is vital; I tailor sessions to your needs. I’m passionate about my work, staying updated with research to bring creative, effective tools to our sessions.
Thank you for considering me as your therapist. I’m here to support you on your journey to wellness.

Fun Fact: I have lived in five metropolitan cities: New York, Austin, Dallas, Madrid and Chicag0.
About Me
I am a 33 year old, hetero woman, born in Los Angeles, raised in Dallas, and have lived in five large metropolitan cities throughout my teens, 20’s and early 30’s (NYC, Austin, Dallas, Madrid, Chicago). I lead my life with adventure and spontaneity, but also crave consistency and stability. I became a therapist to be the therapist I wish I had through a lifetime of navigating anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I’m incredibly close with my family, value being a really great friend, and partner, and have a mini aussie, Winnie, that I’m grossly codependent with. On the weekends, I am prioritizing rest and adventure/play doing things like: trying a new recipe, learning to paint, binge watching a new show, TikToking, taking a virtual dance class in my living room, a long walk with my bestie (Winnie, of course), long intellectual talks with my partner, planning my next adventure with friends, or hanging with my parents. I am always a work in progress. I’m a therapist who is also in therapy. I love being ‘in the work’ with others. Hence, why I love being a therapist. One day, I want to do stand-up comedy, but that would require me to not care about public failure. * single tear *

Treatment Modalities and Training
As I said, I’m always learning so this changes over time, and depends on what each client needs at any given moment. That said, treatment modalities that I find myself using most often are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I’m currently learning more about Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, EMDR and Gottman’s Couples Therapy.
