We know how it feels to be misunderstood. That’s why at Best Therapies, we offer neurodiverse therapy in Chicago, IL, to support those with unique neurotypes and tendencies. We believe that your differences don’t define you but instead provide you with distinct strengths and challenges.

Therapy should be a personalized experience catered to your individual needs and preferences. That’s where our therapists come in – practicing neurodiverse-informed therapy means that they genuinely understand your neurotype and how it can impact your life.

At Best Therapies, we offer a safe and judgment-free space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood. Our therapists are here to help you work with your neurodivergence, not against it.

Overview of Neurodiverse Therapy

Neurodiverse therapy recognizes and celebrates your unique neurotype. In therapy, you’ll experience a caring and safe environment where you can express your innermost thoughts without fearing rejection or shame. Regardless of your condition, whether autism, ADHD, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, your therapist will work closely with you to guide and support you in living a fuller life that maximizes your neurodivergence. Your therapy sessions will also adapt to your specific communication style and sensory needs. You deserve a therapist who gets you and champions your individuality.

What Conditions Are Considered Neurodiverse?

Neurodivergent conditions affect people of all ages, often revealing themselves early in life, while others may emerge later due to life circumstances, like PTSD. These conditions, whether common or rare, induce unique and profound human struggle and pain.

Dyslexia, anxiety, depression, and other conditions can have a deep, even debilitating, impact on daily life. If you’re struggling, know that you’re not alone. Mental health therapy, mainly when provided by trauma-informed professionals, can offer calm waters in times of turbulence, unlocking new insights into yourself and affording you the tools needed to meet life’s challenges with resilience and grace. Our trauma-informed approach ensures that we consider the full context of your experiences, providing support sensitive to your unique needs and history.

Our Approach to Treating Neurodivergent People

At Best Therapies, we deeply empathize with the challenges you face as a neurodivergent person. We believe every client deserves a personalized approach to counseling that acknowledges their unique communication styles and environmental needs.

If you’re on the autism spectrum, we understand the importance of having a quiet and soothing environment where you can feel safe and supported. If you have ADHD, we’re here to help you find the tools you need to remain focused and engaged in your sessions.

Our therapists are passionate about helping you overcome your struggles with compassion and understanding. They’ll take the time to listen to your story and assess your needs to create a treatment plan that works for you.

At Best Therapies, we know that finding the right therapist can be a highly emotional process. It’s essential to have a therapist who sees you for who you are and understands the unique challenges you face. If you’re not feeling connected with your current therapist, it’s okay to explore other options until you find the perfect fit. After all, your well-being is our top priority.

Positive Reviews From Our Satisfied Clients From Chicago, IL

E.S. writes on google reviews, "My therapist has been super friendly and understanding and, this was my first time seeing a therapist and I was initially nervous but she immediately eased my nerves. Plus fidget toys to play with during sessions!!"

Also on google, E.J. wrote of our owner, Jason Best, "Compassionate, insightful, productive. Jason was a tremendous help during a very rough period of my life. His capacity for empathy, compassion, and solutions/action-based therapy are phenomenal. He doesn't dominate the conversation by any means, but he's certainly not the type of therapist that just sits there and listens, giving you nothing back."

From our Psychology Today account, from Luke Adams, Marriage & Family Therapist, 'Jason Best, and his team at BestTherapies, are among the very *best* inclusive Emotion Experts, Trauma-Informed Therapists, Gender Guides, and Sex-Positive Relationship Nerds, in Chicago, and they are my go-to referrals when I’m not available.'

From our Psychology Today account, from Laura Grimes, "Jason is a great clinician and practice owner. He is honest, clinically sound, empathic, and committed to the highest levels of ethics and values."
