ALEX BASS, LCMHCA

Independent Therapist

Reaching out for support can be intimidating and I am happy that you are here! I believe therapy is an individual experience which could provide benefits for everyone. My name is Alex Bass, LCMHCA and I have been working as a therapist for the past four years. I strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment for you to be your authentic self.

I received my undergraduate degree in Biology from Western Carolina University. During my senior year, I realized that I was unable to see a career in this field and sought guidance from those who knew me best. They highlighted my natural tendency to support my family, friends, and those who crossed my path by providing space for them process whatever they were going through. During my last semester, I ended up in an undergraduate counseling class and fell in love. I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Carolina in 2019 and become a National Certified Counselor (NCC) in 2020. I moved to New York and worked with children and adolescents in foster care for two years. I discovered my passion for working with children, adolescents, and their families. I continued my education and became certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to assist in processing and moving through trauma. I have additional training in various play therapy interventions. I moved back to North Carolina in 2022 and became a LCMHCA (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate). I continue to work with children, adolescents, and their families as they navigate transitions, family conflict, and behavioral concerns. I have worked with individuals with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, mood disorders, and ODD.

In my free time, I enjoy playing the guitar and drums, reading, drawing, and hiking throughout the mountains. My clients can expect to be met with patience, authenticity, non-judgment, and trust during sessions. Thank you for your time in getting to know me and I hope to get the chance to work with you!
