My name is Alessia Kosta and I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and trauma therapist offering individual counseling in Arizona. I also am the owner and primary therapist at The Root Cause, LLC.

My work includes extensive experience and specialty training in treating trauma, mood disorder, level 1 Autism, Borderline Personality Disorder, and navigating psychedelic integration.

As a queer, neurodivergent and trans-affirming therapist, I work with the LGBTQ+ community while also providing kink, poly, and neurodivergent-friendly care. I practice from a depth-oriented and integrative perspective, helping individuals understand and address the root cause of their challenges-- feeling unsafe, not enough, or alone in a hostile world. To do this, I pull from many different treatment modalities to tailor care to client needs, which is especially useful when working with complex cases.

My philosophy is simple: I want my clients to feel safe enough to be curious— not only about themselves, but the world around them. Once we start understanding who we are and how we got here, it gives us the best chance at building a meaningful life.
