We specialize in Autism Evaluation throughout the lifespan
An autism diagnosis for a child can provide a unique and vital roadmap for teachers and caregivers to help them learn, play, and develop in alignment with their differences.
An autism diagnosis for an adult can clarify and validate patterns of unusual past experiences, while providing empowerment and guidance toward living life on one's own exceptional terms.
We specialize in neurodivergent therapy
While each of our therapists have thier own unique apprach, they share a strong understanding of the many ways in which a person can identify as neurodivergent, and the remarkable abilities and challenges that intersect with the various neurodivergent conditions.
Our purpose
Adapt Psychological Services was created with the goal of strengthening the mental health of neurodivergent individuals across the lifespan, from toddlerhood through adulthood.
In addition to providing neurodevelopmental assessment for autism, ADHD, and learning differences, we offer specialized therapy services to adults, couples and families.
Working alongside Chicago’s families, schools, healthcare providers, and like-minded organizations in the area, we are dedicated to providing clients the services and advocacy that they need.

Evaluation and Testing
Psychological evaluation (also known as assessment or testing) is a valuable tool used to clarify a diagnosis, direct treatment, or advocate for one’s needs in academic or occupational settings. Our evaluations are effective and efficient. We use state of the art test measures to draw our conclusions, diagnosis, and recommendations, all of which you will receive in a comprehensive psychological report. We also aim to highlight one’s strengths and abilities in addition to identifying challenges and disabilities.
Therapy
Our focus in therapy is on creating adaptive strategies to deepen one’s sense of meaning and purpose in daily life. We encourage our clients to clarify their values, use critical thinking skills, and seek out answers through assertive communication and self-advocacy.
Telehealth Services & Health Precautions
At this time we are able to meet with therapy clients both in-office and remotely. You and your therapist will discuss and decide upon the most effective modality.
For our testing clients, while initial appointments and many questionnaires can be completed remotely, we require at least one in-office testing appointment. During all in-office appointments, we take the utmost precautions to ensure the safety of all individuals involved. We have heavily cleaning services and offer PPE upon request.
