Jewish Therapists in Illinois

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.

Jason Herr

Psychologist, Psy.D.

My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding—of ourselves, our patterns, and the biological and emotional systems that shape how we experience the world. I work with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns, integrating clinical experience, psychological insight, and education about how the brain and nervous system function under stress, trauma, and emotional strain. Throughout my career in community mental health, private practice, medical settings, and teaching, I have worked with people facing complex emotional and relational challenges. These experiences have shaped a practical, compassionate, and direct style that focuses on helping clients understand why they feel and react the way they do, while developing concrete skills for change. I believe therapy is not only about symptom relief but about increasing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the ability to navigate life with greater clarity and intention. My work often includes helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and physiological responses. By learning how to regulate the nervous system and tolerate uncertainty, individuals can respond more thoughtfully rather than react automatically. I aim to create a collaborative and respectful therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore difficult experiences, retell their stories when needed, and move toward a stronger sense of stability and self-understanding. Therapy is a process of growth, accountability, and compassion. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions, my goal is to help them build insight, resilience, and a more grounded sense of who they are and how they want to live.

You might be here because life feels overwhelming, or maybe you’re feeling stuck, discouraged, or unsure about what comes next. If so, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it on your own. I work with teens and adults to help them understand what they’re experiencing and develop practical tools to feel more in control. My approach is warm, collaborative, and active. I don’t just listen; I help you build real strategies that make a difference in your daily life. Whether you’re facing anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, or past trauma, we’ll work together to create meaningful, lasting change.
