Changing the Narrative on Failure: A Conversation with Dr. Paul Losoff
As part of our mission to reshape how we think about failure and foster community-oriented resilience, we’re continuing our interview series!
🎙️ Meet Dr. Paul Losoff
Yesterday, I sat down with Dr. Paul Losoff, a clinical psychologist, to discuss failure, resilience, and the psychology of change. Our conversation delves into his personal experiences, professional insights, and how he navigates setbacks.
About Dr. Losoff:
With over 15 years of clinical experience, Dr. Losoff specializes in treating adults facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, career burnout, self-esteem challenges, and relationship dynamics. He earned his doctorate from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in 2013 and has worked extensively in crisis intervention, clinical training, and therapy supervision. In 2023, he founded Bedrock Psychology Group, offering in-person and telehealth therapy across multiple states. You can find out more about his practice here.
But before psychology, Dr. Losoff spent 15 years as a professional guitarist, earning a bachelor’s degree in Music Performance from Columbia College. His career spanned rock bands, classical performances, studio recording, and teaching—until his deep interest in the “science and art” of therapy led him to exchange his guitar for a therapist’s chair. Today, he’s rediscovered his love for guitar, playing in a local “dad band.” Paul’s music can be found on Spotify.
