Subconscious Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapist, C.Ht.
I am a dedicated and compassionate hypnotherapist committed to helping clients create meaningful, lasting change through the power of the subconscious mind. As a High Honors graduate of the Hypnosis Motivation Institute, I combine formal training with a lifelong passion for understanding the human mind, integrating techniques such as imagery, NLP, desensitization, and other evidence-based modalities.
I work with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, stress, fears, phobias, trauma, pain management, motivation, sports performance, self-esteem, and personal growth. Recognizing that every client absorbs and responds to information differently, I tailor cognitive and hypnotic techniques to each individual to maximize results.
My goal is to provide a non-judgmental, supportive space where clients can process challenges, overcome limiting patterns, and unlock their full potential. Whether you’re seeking relief from anxiety, building confidence, or working toward personal or professional goals, I am here to guide you on a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and transformation.

Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who have already done therapy and want something that helps them break through old patterns and grow in a new direction.

Annette Popernik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have immediate openings! I am a Latina therapist who believes that people need to be seen and heard, not "fixed." We are all human and all of us need support. This is a safe space for you to be validated and welcomed. I serve adults of all ages in the state of Illinois via telehealth. If you find you like my therapeutic style, that's wonderful. We can have recurring sessions. You may come to sessions with lots to talk about and other times you may find it hard to just show up. That's okay. I can create as much or little structure as you would like. I'll shine a flashlight and support you through this.

Joanna Vergoth
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, NCPsyA
I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 27 years of experience providing trauma-focused, psychodynamic psychotherapy to adults with complex trauma histories. I am particularly attuned to issues of relational trauma, attachment disturbances, abuse recovery, psychosexual health, anxiety disorders, and binge eating. My practice is culturally responsive and grounded in respect for each client’s lived experience and identity. Therapy with me is collaborative, paced with care, and grounded in deep attunement. I believe symptoms are adaptations to overwhelming experiences. I help clients understand how past experiences shape present patterns, transform trauma-shaped beliefs, and reconnect with their inner strength and authenticity. If you are ready for profound healing, I would be honored to work with you

Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Welcome! For me, this work is deeply relational in nature, as I find a steady, trusting relationship to be central for deeper exploration. Together, we can attend to both immediate concerns and deeper themes such as emotional experiences, attachment styles, and family-of-origin dynamics. I offer a warm, steady presence alongside attuned and practical feedback, supporting meaningful insight that can lead to lasting change. Online therapy offers us a wonderful opportunity to engage in this work from the comfort of your own space, while also offering flexibility when needed. Moves, new jobs, or growing families - our work can remain an anchor through the change. If you'd like to discuss working together, please reach out for a free consultation.

Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
Our practice is grounded in a deep appreciation for the diverse experiences that shape each person’s life. Our founder grew up in Jamaica, Queens, surrounded and supported by three generations of remarkable women—an experience that continues to inform the values of care, resilience, and community that guide our work today. Across our practice, we have the privilege of supporting individuals from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, gender identities, and socioeconomic experiences, each bringing their own unique perspectives and concerns. As a practice founded by a Black, queer, first-generation college graduate, we hold a strong awareness of how power, privilege, and systemic forces shape daily life and mental health. We also recognize the vulnerability it takes to seek therapy. Our work is informed not only by clinical expertise, but by a deep respect for the courage and commitment involved in pursuing healing and meaningful change. This perspective shapes our intention to create a space that is thoughtful, affirming, and responsive to the full complexity of our clients’ lived experiences.

Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in relationships, life direction, or their sense of self, even when things appear fine on the outside. You may find yourself questioning who you are, repeating familiar relationship patterns, struggling to trust yourself, or feeling disconnected from parts of yourself. Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and begin moving forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Chicago's size and diversity mean therapists here cover an exceptionally wide range of specialties, with strong representation in trauma, anxiety, depression, and cultural identity work across the city's distinct neighborhoods. The South and West Sides experience community-level trauma tied to violence and systemic inequity, driving particular demand for therapists who specialize in PTSD, grief, and resilience-focused work. The city is home to Rush University Medical Center, Northwestern Medicine, and the University of Chicago Medicine, with a large independent practice community concentrated in Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Wicker Park, and the Loop. Chicago also has robust bilingual therapy communities serving its large Spanish-speaking, Polish, and Mandarin-speaking populations.
