Blue Mound Counseling LLC

Alex Vis, owner of Blue Mound Counseling, has a remarkable ability to hold another person’s story with care, curiosity, and a deep sense of reverence. There is something profoundly healing about being with someone who doesn’t rush to fix, explain, or tidy up the difficult chapters of your life, but instead creates a safe place for you to encounter your own story with greater honesty and compassion. Dan Allender has written that, “Your story is the greatest legacy that you will leave to your friends.” Alex seems to understand that our stories matter deeply—and that the places of heartache, loss, disappointment, and even shame deserve to be held with tenderness rather than judgment. Alex brings a grounded, compassionate presence to his work that communicates, “Your story is safe here.” He listens not simply for what has happened, but for the deeper themes of longing, hurt, resilience, relationship, and hope woven throughout a person’s life. Blue Mound Counseling is the kind of place where people can bring the unfinished and complicated parts of themselves and trust that their stories will be treated as something sacred. I have tremendous respect for Alex and the holy work he is doing alongside the people he serves.
