Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
You were taught to handle things on your own. Push through. Don't complain. Provide. And maybe that worked for a while, but now something's off. The anger that flares too fast. The numbness that's settled in. The sense that you're going through the motions but not really present in your own life. Asking for help can feel like failure when you've been told your whole life that needing help is weakness. It's not. It takes more strength to look at what's not working than to keep pretending everything's fine. We offer a space where you can be honest without judgment. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Paul Losoff
Psychologist, PsyD
Navigating men's issues can be complex, encompassing challenges related to masculinity, relationships, career, and mental health. As a psychologist specializing in men's issues, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for men to explore their feelings, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and cultivate meaningful connections. Through tailored therapy approaches, I aim to help my male clients break free from societal expectations, embrace vulnerability, and achieve greater self-understanding and fulfillment in all aspects of their lives.

Daniel Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD., LP. DBSM
Common topics men come to therapy for include navigating relationship dynamics, handling stress, fatherhood and family responsibilities, sexual issues, career pressures, overcoming issues related to emotional repression and mental health issues like depression and anxiety. Dr. Kessler helps with communication skills, self-esteem and developing healthier coping mechanisms. A good men’s issues therapist recognizes the importance of a supportive and understanding environment where men can explore and address these issues without judgment, leading to improved mental health and well-being.
When addressing men's issues, Dr. Kessler often addresses concerns like managing societal expectations and stereotypes, dealing with traditional notions of masculinity, and addressing emotional expression and mental health in a way that aligns with their personal identity.

Lenny Gallo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Research shows that men are less likely to seek therapy on their own. Messages like “I should handle this myself” or “therapy is for the weak” often keep men from reaching out—until something in life forces the issue. If you’re looking into therapy on your own, that’s a strong first step.
Many men struggle silently with anger, loneliness, dissatisfaction, sexual concerns, relationship stress, work pressures, body image, or feeling inadequate as a provider. These issues are common—and treatable.
Therapy offers a confidential, non-judgmental space to sort through what’s going on and regain a sense of clarity and control. If you’re ready—or even just considering it—reach out, and we can talk about what you need.
