A Space for Those Who See and Experience the World Differently
Maybe you’ve spent much of your life feeling like you don’t quite fit—like you experience the world differently than the people around you. You might have a diagnosis, be questioning it, or not have a name for it at all.
You don’t need a formal diagnosis to be here.
I work with individuals, couples, and families who resonate with neurodivergent experiences, especially those connected to autism and ADHD. Many of the people I support have spent a long time trying to make traditional approaches work, often feeling misunderstood or overlooked.
This is a space where you don’t have to force yourself into a mold that was never designed for you. Together, we focus on understanding how your mind works, honoring your experiences, and finding ways of living and relating that actually fit.
We’ll move at a pace that feels right, getting curious about your experiences and what supports you along the way. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here—our work will be shaped around you, your goals, and what you need.
Hi, I’m Dr. Taylor.
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist in Illinois, and I am incredibly fortunate to do work that I find both meaningful and rewarding. I was drawn to working with neurodivergent individuals through a combination of professional training, personal experience, and the many clients who have taught me how important it is to truly listen to someone’s experience rather than make assumptions.
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a partnership. You know yourself better than anyone, and my role is not to tell you who you are or how you should live. Instead, I bring my clinical knowledge and experience to the process while we work together to understand what is happening, make sense of patterns, and figure out what might actually help.
I also believe that therapy should make room for complexity. Sometimes the things that bring someone to therapy—anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, burnout, trauma, problems with executive functioning, or struggles with self-esteem—are connected to a much bigger picture. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I want to understand how all of these pieces fit together and what might be contributing to what you’re experiencing.
My approach is warm, curious, flexible, and collaborative. I’m not interested in forcing people into a particular way of thinking, feeling, or functioning simply because it is what they’ve been told they should do. At the same time, therapy isn’t about avoiding growth or staying stuck. Together, we can explore what you want to change, what you want to understand differently, and what supports you as you move toward the life you want.
I work with individuals, couples, and families, including teens and adults. I also help with co-occurring mental health concerns, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and OCD, as well as difficulties with addiction and substance use.
