Annette Popernik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
If you are Christian and would like to incorporate your faith into treatment, we can absolutely do this. If you have had negative experiences with Christianity and would like to unpack that, I will hold a safe space and non-judgment for you to process Church hurt. Therapy isn't about a therapist imparting their values on their clients. It is quite the opposite. It is about clients sharing their values with us and we guide you based on those values.

Aurora is one of Illinois's largest cities and serves as a western anchor of the Chicago metro — with a large Latino population (predominantly Mexican American), a growing South Asian community, and a blue-collar manufacturing heritage that shapes its therapy culture. The city's historically Hispanic west side has distinct mental health needs rooted in immigration stress, economic precarity, and bilingual family dynamics, while the more affluent east side neighborhoods generate demand for therapists working with professional stress and relationship concerns. Rush Copley Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community that serves Aurora and the broader Fox Valley corridor. Aurora's affordability relative to Chicago has made it a destination for families seeking more space, and therapists frequently encounter the adjustment challenges and social isolation that come with suburban relocation.
