Annette Popernik_The Personal Development Group

As a multilingual and Latina therapist, I provide psychotherapy to college students & adults struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, family dynamics, relationship issues, grief and loss, chronic illness/pain, racial injustice, and various disabilities. I have extensive experience using cognitive-behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, motivational interviewing, & self-compassion. I believe therapy is a conversation & a first step. My goal is to guide you to use your strengths while believing in yourself & what you can do on your own healing journey.

I am here to shine a flashlight & guide, but you are & will be the person to create the change & healing you need in your life. To support that emotional wellness, I focus on promoting both physical & mental health & care. As a Latina and Mexican-American therapist, my cultural identity is integral to who I am and to my practice.

I am passionate about providing linguistically & culturally competent care. I serve individuals from various races & ethnicities including immigrants. Using this culturally aware & strengths-based approach, I listen to your needs & guide you based on your beliefs whether that be to incorporate your culture, faith, identity, or simply your values as a person.
