Autism Spectrum Disorder Therapy in Chicago & Illinois
At Sage Mental Health, we specialize in providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other neurodivergent experiences across Chicago and throughout Illinois. Our licensed therapists offer personalized, strengths-based support for autistic and neurodivergent adults, teens, and young adults navigating the emotional, social, and sensory challenges of daily life.
Our neurodivergent-affirming therapy honors each individual’s unique way of thinking, feeling, and communicating. We focus on building emotional regulation skills, executive functioning, and social confidence, while addressing co-occurring concerns such as anxiety, depression, and relationship stress. Many clients come to us seeking relief from autistic burnout, masking fatigue, and the pressure to “fit in”—and find a safe, validating space to rediscover authenticity.
Whether you’ve recently received an ASD diagnosis or have long identified as neurodivergent, our therapists help you understand your strengths, manage sensory and emotional overwhelm, and create sustainable strategies for thriving at work, in relationships, and in daily routines. We also provide therapy for parents and partners of neurodivergent individuals, fostering empathy, communication, and mutual understanding.
Common goals of ASD and neurodivergent therapy include:
- Reducing anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional dysregulation
- Building confidence and genuine social connection without masking
- Improving executive functioning, organization, and time management
- Navigating life transitions with self-acceptance and resilience
- Healing from burnout and embracing neurodivergent identity
Sage Mental Health offers both in-person and online therapy for Autism Spectrum Disorder and neurodivergent individuals across Illinois. Our mission is to provide affirming, compassionate care that supports you in living more fully and authentically—on your own terms
