Now Offering Board Approved Supervision in Indiana and Ohio!
Please reach out if you are a clinician seeking board approved, top quality supervision towards becoming a fully licensed LPCC or LMHC or to simply become a more astute Catholic clinician.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Ruah Woods Psychological Services (RWPS), where I serve the mental health needs of greater Dayton, the Northern Area of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati and beyond.

I am particularly passionate about supporting and collaborating with individuals, couples, and families who are journeying through a challenging situation, grieving a loss, facing a significant decision and or yearning to grow and strengthen. This passion often facilitates opportunities to work with and support children, adolescents and or their caregivers/parents, as well as adults of all ages. I have found that my approach to therapy is effective in helping people who are struggling with addiction, who have been victims of abuse or have experienced some other traumatic loss or life event, those suffering from depression, grief and loss, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD/Scrupulosity. I have also found that my approach is very effective in helping individuals live a more satisfying, fulfilling and elevated life.

In all my work, I find great value in respectfully integrating religious and spiritual elements of one’s life when applicable.

Practice Info

Bio:
I graduated from Ball State University in 2017 with an M.A. in Counseling Psychology and an M.A. in Physical Education with a concentration in Sport and Exercise Psychology. I hold credentials as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with training supervision designation (LPCC-S) in Ohio and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana.

I am a husband and father of four, with eleven years of clinical experience working to serve the needs of Catholic and non-Catholic children, adolescents and adults, including ordained clergy, seminary candidates, professed religious, and laity, in various settings, including private practice, community outpatient services, intensive youth rehabilitation, hospital chaplaincy, and collegiate sport performance.

I use a blend of five effective, evidence-based approaches: Emotionally Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Positive Psychology, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I begin by working to establish a strong and trusting working relationship with my clients by helping them to feel accepted, supported, heard, and encouraged. I then work with them to identify goals they want to pursue and help them to systematically build the motivation to pursue these identified goals. At the same time I also strive to help others find value in the life they already lead to help create a stronger, more stable foundation. Next, I support my patients as they work to achieve their desired outcomes through improving one’s mood, adjusting and establishing a more helpful, realistic mindset and engaging in effective, purposeful action. I use assessment tools to help identify when growth occurs and progress is made. Once the desired goals are achieved, I then work with my clients to help them either establish new goals or to transition out of therapy when appropriate. In addition, when working with couples I use a blend of Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman techniques toward strengthening relationships, mostly following the approach previously outlined. As stated above, in all my work, I find great value in respectfully integrating religious and spiritual elements of one’s life when applicable.

More About Alex Wallace, MA, LMHC, LPCC-S

A Little About Myself:

I was born in Muncie, Indiana and have lived in Indiana for most of my life. In 2021, my wife, our three children and I moved to Dayton, OH. I became Catholic at St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Muncie, being baptized, confirmed, and received into the Church at the Easter Vigil in 2015. My confirmation saint is St. Francis Xavier, with whom I felt a connection for multiple reasons, including my desire to evangelize, having a shared and profound young adult conversion, and due to my appreciation for Xavier University and Musketeers basketball.

I am a licensed Counselor in both Indiana and Ohio. I attended Butler University in Indianapolis and received a Bachelors degree in Psychology in 2011. I later attended Ball State University in Muncie and received a Masters Degree in Counseling and a Masters Degree in Physical Education with a focus in sport and exercise psychology.

I have been married to my wife, Sarah, for five years. Our anniversary is the 24th of June, which is the feast day of the birth of St. John the Baptist. My wife and I have been blessed with four children: Cecilia; our little saint, Leo; Avila and Josephine. Although saddened by Leo's death and our loss, we are also greatly honored and proud that our son Leo is now rejoicing in his heavenly home after his brief 6-month, out-of-the-womb journey on this side of Heaven.

Our little saint, Leo, Ora pro nobis!

What Inspired Me To Become A Counselor

As a designated leader and supportive friend, I was often called upon or looked towards to help others when I was younger. I had a great appreciation for these opportunities and decided to hone that appreciation into a skillset that would allow me to help and or lead more effectively. I have also gone through my own share of painful experiences and have experienced the healing and benefits associated with receiving support from others. I desire to and find great value in sharing this hope of healing with others as we walk together towards peace and freedom.

What Role Does My Catholic Faith Play in My Work

I rely on my faith in two ways. First, being Catholic helps me to remain centered, balanced and rooted in what is true, good and beautiful. I find that this foundation helps me to continue to be the best beacon of hope and encouragement I can be for others, day in and day out. Additionally, my past patients have found it extremely helpful to integrate their spiritual and religious beliefs into therapy.  Our Catholic faith has much to offer regarding ways to navigate challenging times and how we should conduct ourselves in order to live a rich, healthy, hope-filled, and fulfilling life.


Ruah Woods Psychological Services (RWPS):

The mission of Ruah Woods Psychological Services (RWPS) is to develop and provide services that integrate the best of psychological science and the truths of the Catholic faith – empowering men and women to more fully embrace and live out their vocation to love according to God’s plan.
