Cindy Yu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Cindy Yu is a bilingual (English and Mandarin Chinese) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the states of Florida, Alabama, and Illinois. She is well-trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, solution-focused therapy, Bowen’s theory, Gottman Method, CBT, and more. Cindy believes that each client is comprised of unique yet charismatic components such as personal upbringings, religious beliefs, and cultural backgrounds, that all contribute to narrate a cohesive personal story. This fundamental ideology has cultivated her into offering her clients unconditional positive regard and respect, while tailoring her treatment orientations to better serve each client’s individuality. Her passion is to help individuals, couples, and families to understand the misunderstood, to discover hope from the hopelessness, to speak the unspoken, and to seek possibilities through the impossible. Cindy also has a background in the medical field where she has obtained a strong foundational knowledge for medical diagnosis and medications. She understands the intricacy between medical burden and mental health.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In the intricate tapestry of our lives, the pursuit of happiness, safety, and love is a universal quest. Yet, for many, the journey toward emotional wellness is fraught with challenges beyond their control. Trauma, familial history, and the burdens of life can cast shadows that obscure life's inherent beauty. I believe that each individual deserves to uncover, rediscover, and reclaim life's joy and purpose.
As a compassionate and dedicated psychoanalytical therapist, I aim to guide you through this transformative process with warmth and understanding. Through welcoming and conversational counseling services, I aim to create a space where you can explore the intricate connections between your mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach seeks to assist you in reconnecting with your higher purpose, allowing you to navigate life unburdened by emotional pain.

Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
True change often requires more than just learning new coping skills; it requires an environment where you can safely explore the deeper layers of your experience. With over three decades of clinical practice, my approach is rooted in the belief that the relationship between therapist and client is the primary engine for lasting transformation. I specialize in a developmental psychodynamic model, which means, though our relationship, we explore what factors stand behind patterns that have been interfering with experiencing life in the way you really want, whether it be in relationships, at work or in leisure pursuits. If you have the interest or inclination, this exploration can also take place within a Jungian framework, looking at ways to understand ourselves more deeply, such as through dreams or creative productions, and to better integrate conscious and unconscious life.
I have particular expertise and experience working with trauma in a way that integrates emotional safety, the capacity for self-regulation and the mind-body connection. I also am well experienced working with late adolescents and young adults as they (and their families) navigate greater independence and autonomy, including when this navigation stalls, leaving the young person stuck and struggling to move forward or take steps to leave the parental home.
Whether we are working through the challenges of a major life transition or diving into the symbolic language of dreams through a Jungian lens, my goal is to help you move beyond temporary relief toward a more integrated, meaningful life. Whether you are a parent seeking support for your child or an adult looking to rediscover purpose in mid-life or retirement, I approach psychotherapy as a quintessential tool and the therapy relationship as a grounding and growth-oriented connection.

Springfield is the Illinois state capital and the hometown of Abraham Lincoln, whose legacy pervades the city's identity and draws significant heritage tourism, and the mental health landscape here reflects the particular pressures of a mid-size state capital—government and public sector employment, political uncertainty, and the economic challenges of a city that has struggled to grow beyond its role as an administrative center. Memorial Health System and HSHS Medical Group both provide behavioral health services, and a private therapy sector serves the professional community. Common therapy concerns include government worker stress and bureaucratic burnout, economic anxiety in a city that has faced population decline, anxiety, depression, and the tensions of a state capital navigating chronic fiscal challenges and political conflict in Illinois state government. The city's central location also makes it a regional resource for mental health care across rural central Illinois.
