You could get a written report from the psychologist and offer it at a preliminary hearing, with the idea of getting the court to order joint counseling, on grounds that you've asked and the mother has refused.
I think you should ask your ex one more time, and just tell her that you'd really like to do this in a cooperative manner, but if she won't agree then you'll go to the counselor yourself, and if the counselor believes that there's an issue, then you'll ask the court to order it. Example:
"Wouldn't it be so much simpler to just have a little joint counseling. Maybe the counselor will tell 'me' that I'm overreacting, and I'll let it go."
