Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In the intricate tapestry of our lives, the pursuit of happiness, safety, and love is a universal quest. Yet, for many, the journey toward emotional wellness is fraught with challenges beyond their control. Trauma, familial history, and the burdens of life can cast shadows that obscure life's inherent beauty. I believe that each individual deserves to uncover, rediscover, and reclaim life's joy and purpose.
As a compassionate and dedicated psychoanalytical therapist, I aim to guide you through this transformative process with warmth and understanding. Through welcoming and conversational counseling services, I aim to create a space where you can explore the intricate connections between your mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach seeks to assist you in reconnecting with your higher purpose, allowing you to navigate life unburdened by emotional pain.

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.

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.

Lawisha Dulski
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCPC, NCC
I believe in a person centered and narrative approach, as you are the expert of your own life. You
have your own story to tell. Talking to a stranger about issues you’re facing can be extremely
difficult and challenging but it shows enormous amounts of strength and bravery.
My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can express yourself,
discuss challenges that you are facing, explore new ideas and new chapters, and to help promote
growth and wellness. I want my clients to feel heard and understood.
