Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In my practice, I help patients with ADHD by utilizing a comprehensive and personalized approach that addresses their unique needs and challenges. I start with thorough assessments to accurately diagnose ADHD and provide education to help patients and their families understand the condition. Behavioral interventions and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are employed to develop effective coping strategies, improve time management, and address negative thought patterns. Mindfulness practices are taught to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation. I also offer coaching to build specific skills, create structured routines, and explore medication options in collaboration with medical professionals. Family involvement is encouraged to create a supportive environment, and a strength-based approach is used to build confidence and motivation. Ongoing support and follow-up ensure continuous progress and adjustment of therapeutic strategies. This comprehensive approach aims to empower patients with ADHD to manage their symptoms effectively, enhance their strengths, and lead fulfilling lives.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Your brain works differently, and you've spent your whole life trying to fit into systems that weren't built for you. The missed deadlines, the half-finished projects, the conversations where you realize you stopped listening three sentences ago. It's exhausting, and the frustration compounds when people assume you're lazy or don't care. We help adults with ADHD understand how their brain actually works, develop strategies that fit their wiring instead of fighting against it, and address the anxiety, shame, and relationship strain that often come along for the ride. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
ADHD involves far more than just focus issues; it often carries a history of feeling misunderstood and "out of sync." With 35 years of experience, Michael looks beyond surface-level hacks to explore how ADHD shapes your self-esteem and relationships. By addressing the deep-seated shame or frustration that often accompanies neurodivergence, he helps adolescents and adults move past old labels of "laziness" toward a more authentic and effective way of engaging with the world.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
I have both evaluated and worked with many clients to help them understand the symptoms of A-D/HD and the impact as well as the strengths that their unique brain brings to their life experience. A-D/HD is not one-size fits all or a constellation of symptoms, rather it becomes part of the lens through which clients experience school, education, self, family, work, and relationships.

Rockford is one of Illinois's largest cities and one of the Midwest's most economically challenged mid-size communities, having experienced significant deindustrialization following the loss of its manufacturing base, with high rates of poverty and crime that create substantial mental health need across the population. The city has a racially diverse population and a significant Black community that has been disproportionately affected by economic decline and the associated stresses of poverty, violence, and limited opportunity. SwedishAmerican Hospital, now part of UW Health, provides behavioral health services, and community mental health centers serve residents who cannot access private care. Common therapy concerns include trauma, depression, anxiety, economic stress, and the particular challenges of living in a community grappling openly with how to rebuild and reimagine itself after decades of industrial decline.
