R. Alex Colston, LMFT

A licensed therapist and executive consultant based in Lexington, Kentucky.

With over 15 years in the field, Alex integrates attachment-based interventions with clinical depth and relational systems awareness—allowing him to work effectively with couples and individuals navigating complex, high-pressure decisions in their relationships.

Alex experienced firsthand the benefits of attachment-centered couples therapy in his own marriage, stating, “It’s the only thing that ever worked for us.” He and his wife celebrated 19 years of marriage, 24 years together this year.

He has witnessed and supported family, friends, colleagues, and clients use attacment-centered work to discover relationship patterns impacting their lives. Some moved through difficult transitions and toward one another again, others chose to pursue long-term therapy, and some moved ethically and safely toward decoupling. All benefited from this type of work.

His business is LGBTQ+ owned. As a Jewish, bisexual male in a heternormative marriage, his lived experience blends with his warmth and clinical depth to provide a psychologically safe space for couples and individuals to navigate highly complex decisions in their relationships. His practice is intentionally limited in scope and operates outside of insurance networks to maintain discretion, flexibility, and depth.
