Rick Tivers
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CGP
Highly focused on both the individual in the marriage and the unit as a separate entity. Direct, open and honest communication is used as a mirror for healthy yet honorable communication between all parties involved. I look at the CORE issues in the relationship struggle which supercedes ineffective communication skills.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
You keep having the same fight with different words. Or you've stopped fighting altogether, not because things are better but because you've stopped trying. The distance between you has grown so gradually you're not sure when it started, only that it's there now, undeniable. Our clinicians are trained in the Gottman Method, the most researched approach to couples therapy available. We help you identify the patterns that are eroding your connection and give you real tools to repair them. This isn't about venting at each other with a referee in the room. It's about learning to turn toward each other again. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You don’t have to be in couples therapy to work on your relationship. Many people come to individual therapy to better understand patterns that show up with partners—communication struggles, conflict cycles, attachment dynamics, or questions about staying or leaving. Together, we’ll explore your experience of the relationship, including what feels stuck or unsatisfying, and look at how your history, expectations, and emotional responses shape these dynamics. The goal isn’t to assign blame, but to develop greater clarity, flexibility, and agency in how you relate—so you can make more intentional choices about your relationship and your role within it.

Cynthia Leslie
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, MA, CPRS
Marriage is God’s first covenant with man, but it can come with its own set of challenges. Knowing God’s will for marriage can help bring harmony into the relationship. Having a toolbox to use can be invaluable to couples.

Chris Scarberry
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I hold a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. Whether I work with individuals, couples, or families, I look at the make-up of people's lives systemically. One's childhood experiences, family relationships, and attachment styles all create a framework for one's thought, behavior, and actions. There is always more going on with people than what is happening in the therapy room. I enjoy working with couples and families a great deal because it gets at some of these root concerns more effectively and can be more transformative for the individuals involved. I employ interventions from Gottman, Structural, and Strategic Family Therapy. I see couples at different points, wanting to maximize their relationship, wanting to save it, wanting to end things. I work with LGBTQ+ and non-monogamous couples and families on a regular basis as do the other therapists in our practice.

Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
TL;DR: Michael focuses on shifting couples from defensive "blame cycles" to a deeper, relational understanding that addresses the root causes of conflict and disconnect.
Relationship distress often feels like a repetitive loop of the same argument, where both partners feel unheard and defensive. With over 35 years of experience, Michael helps couples move beyond surface-level communication tips to examine the underlying "relational scripts" and attachment patterns that drive conflict. By utilizing a developmental psychodynamic model, he works with you to identify how individual histories influence current dynamics, helping to transform reactive patterns into meaningful connection. Whether you are navigating a major crisis, a transition like retirement, or a persistent sense of distance, the goal is to build a partnership rooted in mutual understanding, shared purpose, and lasting intimacy.

Teona Amble
Psychologist, Ph.D., LP
Do you feel stuck in your relationship? Are you trying to recovery from infidelity or a relationship crisis? Are you ready to improve your communication, conflict management, and trust? We can work together to evaluate your relationship's strengths and areas for growth. Then, we develop a plan for me to guide you with information and tools to survive relationship stress and thrive as a team; or to move forward separately as co-parents or friends. Whether you are beginning a new relationship, working on an existing one, or trying to end one which is no longer working, I am here to support your partner and you on the journey to change.

Angela Nguyen
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The main reason why I've become a Marriage and Family Therapist is due to my passion in helping relationships. It's really easy to misconstrue and also be misunderstood by others, and so it's helpful to have someone help interpret and draw out what's really being communicated.
