As a licensed therapist in Missouri, I bring nearly two decades of compassionate mental health experience to my practice. My approach centers on understanding and supporting individuals through complex life challenges, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and trauma recovery.
I offer a deeply affirming therapeutic space that honors diverse identities and experiences. My work focuses on supporting individuals navigating social anxiety, panic disorders, mood challenges, sexuality exploration, life transitions, and interpersonal dynamics. I'm particularly committed to creating a supportive environment for those experiencing isolation, communication difficulties, and complex emotional landscapes.
My therapeutic style is collaborative, empathetic, and tailored to each individual's unique journey. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients develop meaningful coping strategies, build emotional resilience, and cultivate authentic personal growth. Whether you're confronting personal transitions, processing past experiences, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with genuine care and professional support.

I feel like she really cares and listens to me. Working with her has really helped and while I've done a lot of work myself it's awesome to have a caring therapist who listens and cares.

Alane has been so wonderful and kind in listening where I’m coming from. While navigating a career transition, some religious trauma and family topics, it was so refreshing to be able to see her and process through all the things that were weighing on me. I can’t recommend her enough!

As I look past this year, I recognize that the respect, playfulness, empathy, resources and attention that Alane graced me with has been fundamental in learning how to take the next steps outside of therapy. A few months out from where I was at the end of our sessions has allowed me to reflect on quality gains of character and self assuredness that I wanted to see & in which she knew how to lead me to. The dedicated work was mine to do and the initial inspiration to soak in that self care lifestyle is hers. So THANKFUL for you and all you do. Until our next session, I will be remembering your heartfelt and thought provoking lessons, accompanied with that wonderfully wry smile.

Miss Roath encompasses all of the qualities I have hoped for in a therapist - a reflective, intersectional, sensitive and understanding individual like no other.

Alane is a very intelligent therapist. She immediately gets you and starts to find ways to support you. She has a deep understanding of cultures and different backgrounds and could relate to them, which I find a great asset in today's ever interlinked world. Alane also has a great sense of humour, and she makes light-hearted comments when they are mostly needed. I have wholeheartedly enjoyed my journey with her and would strongly recommend her.

Alane is very easy to talk to, thoroughly explains her approaches, and gained my confidence quickly. I am really looking forward to more sessions.

Alane maintains the perfect balance of being fact based but sensitive to people’s feelings and emotions. Her scientific and research based way of working through things has been immensely helpful. Alane always spends time preparing outside of sessions, and is overall just a lovely human. Have enjoyed every session with her!

Alane has pulled me out of the darkest place I have ever found myself in. It's amazing how a stranger can say so many kind things to you and make you feel like you're alive for a reason. If you are looking for an experienced, kind and respectful therapist- go to Alane.
