Dr. Pam Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCP
Hello and welcome! I'm Dr. Pam Heilman, a licensed clinical psychologist providing telehealth therapy to adults throughout Illinois.
I believe that therapy works best when it combines the science of effective treatment with a genuine, collaborative relationship. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, but I also recognize that every person brings their own experiences, strengths, values, and goals to the therapy process. Together, we will work to understand the challenges you're facing and identify practical strategies that can help you move forward.
Many of the individuals I work with struggle with anxiety, OCD, health anxiety, social anxiety, or the overwhelming stress that can come from feeling stuck in patterns of worry, fear, or self-doubt. These experiences can be exhausting and isolating, but they are also highly treatable. My goal is to help you develop the skills and confidence needed to respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions so they no longer have as much control over your life.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
My approach to therapy is straightforward — understand what is getting in the way, figure out why, and build a clear path forward. I work with adults, couples, and high-achieving professionals who are ready to make real changes, not just talk about them.
I am Dr. Lyndsay Elliott, a licensed clinical psychologist with a PsyD and a postdoctoral fellowship from UCLA. For over 20 years I have provided evidence-based psychotherapy, psychological evaluations, consultations and expert witness testimony to clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, chronic stress, relationship conflict, narcissistic abuse recovery, couples conflict, infertility, reproductive mental health, postpartum depression, family conflict, and major life transitions.
My style is warm and engaged, but also direct. Therapy should be useful — sessions that deliver genuine insight, practical tools, and honest feedback that actually moves the needle. I integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, solution-focused intervention, and trauma-informed care, tailoring every treatment plan to each client's specific goals and circumstances.

Dr. Shannon Coleman

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process, carefully tailored to each individual’s needs and goals. My approach is grounded in evidence-based treatment while also recognizing the value of longer-term therapy to deepen self-awareness, clarify personal values, and support meaningful growth. I work with clients to better understand their thoughts, emotions, and patterns of behavior and to create meaningful changes in their lives.

Annette Popernik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
If you’re reading this, then you have taken a huge first step in asking for help. I am a Latina therapist with nearly 10 years of experience who believes that people need to be seen and heard, not "fixed." We are all human and all of us need support and professional guidance sometimes. 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. 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 to support and guide you through your challenges.
