Annette Popernik_The Personal Development Group

I am available to schedule within one week! As a multilingual and Latina therapist of 9 years, I provide psychotherapy to college students & adults of all ages struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, life transitions, family dynamics, relationship issues, grief and loss, chronic illness/pain, racial injustice, cultural issues, and various disabilities. I have extensive experience using cognitive-behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, motivational interviewing, & self-compassion. I believe therapy is an ongoing conversation where you are the expert of your lived experience. YOU are more than what has happened to you. My goal is to empower you to use your strengths while believing in yourself & what you can do on your own healing journey.

I am here to shine a flashlight & guide you, but you are & will be the person to create the change & healing you need in your life. To support that emotional wellness, I focus on promoting both physical & mental health & care. As a Latina and Mexican-American therapist, my cultural identity is integral to who I am and to my practice.

I am passionate about providing linguistically & culturally competent care. I serve individuals from various races & ethnicities including immigrants. Using this culturally aware & strengths-based approach, I listen to your needs & guide you based on your beliefs whether that be to incorporate your culture, faith, identity, or simply your values as a person.
