Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In therapy for relationship and marital issues, I provide support to couples to navigate challenges and strengthen their bond.

Through communication exercises and conflict resolution techniques, we work on improving communication skills and addressing underlying issues. I also help couples rebuild trust, deepen emotional intimacy, and rediscover shared values and goals. The goal is to foster healthier patterns of interaction and enhance overall relationship satisfaction.

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.

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.

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.
