Letitia Cullens-Proctor
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, CCMHC
I’m a trauma therapist specializing in EMDR and KAP and supporting people heal from historic trauma and reconnect with themselves in the present. I also work with individuals navigating the “later-in-life” realizations such as receiving an adult ADHD/autism diagnosis (even without the official diagnosis) or rethinking long-held beliefs about who they are and how they want to live. My approach interweaves humor with curiosity and warmth because therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical to be effective. Whether you're processing trauma, exploring a new identity, or just feeling stuck, I’m here to support you with compassion, clarity, and respect.

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.
