Annette Popernik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
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. Learn more about what therapy with me looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hfAyQS3pVI

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
My practice is grounded in one central idea: that family, in all of its forms, deserves to be understood, supported, and thoughtfully nurtured. I have the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families at some of the most meaningful—and often most vulnerable—moments in their lives. Whether someone is building a family, navigating challenges within one, or redefining what family means to them, my goal is always to create a space that feels both safe and genuinely supportive.
A significant part of my work focuses on family building, including comprehensive evaluations for adoption, assisted reproduction, and other non-traditional pathways to parenthood. I have extensive experience working with adoptive parents, intended parents, and families formed through surrogacy, donation, and other modern family-building processes. These evaluations are not just procedural—they are an opportunity to reflect, prepare, and enter parenthood with clarity and confidence.
In addition to evaluation work, I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families. I approach this work with warmth, directness, and deep respect for each person’s experience. Whether addressing relationship strain, life transitions, trauma, or the complexities of parenting, I aim to help people better understand themselves and each other, and to move forward with intention.
I have a particular passion for working with non-traditional families—those whose paths may fall outside of conventional expectations but are no less meaningful or deserving of support. My practice is inclusive, affirming, and grounded in the belief that there is no single “right” way to build or be a family.
Above all, I strive to offer a space where people feel seen, understood, and guided—not judged. This is deeply personal work, and I consider it an honor to be part of my clients’ journeys.

Daniel Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD., LP. DBSM
My job is to hold up an accurate mirror. A good therapist helps you to become more aware of and access the skills and strengths you have, and is not afraid to point out the barriers to progress that you are experiencing.
