Therapy for Managing Anxiety, OCD & ADHD in Chicago
Culturally Responsive Therapy That Recognizes Life’s Complexities
Living with Anxiety, OCD, or ADHD can feel mentally exhausting, emotionally overwhelming, and difficult to manage alone.
You appear capable, organized, and driven—but internally feel:
* Constant worry or mental overactivity
* Pressure to perform or “get it right”
* Difficulty resting or slowing down
These experiences can affect work performance, relationships, emotional wellbeing, confidence, sleep, and everyday functioning.
Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy
At Dr. Solis Therapy & Consulting, we provide compassionate, neurodivergent-affirming therapy for anxiety, OCD, and ADHD in Chicago and virtually throughout Illinois.
Neurodivergent refers to neurological differences in how individuals think, process information, regulate emotions, communicate, learn, and experience the world.
It’s essential to understand that neurodivergence is a natural and valuable part of human diversity.
ADHD, Autism, OCD, Anxiety and other neurodivergent experiences can affect focus, executive functioning, sensory processing, emotional regulation, relationships, and daily life in unique ways.

At Dr. Solis Therapy & Consulting, we recognize many neurodivergent individuals have spent years masking symptoms, feeling misunderstood, struggling with overwhelm, or internalizing shame related to productivity, focus, emotions, or organization.
* Psychoeducation- skills based training in organization & planning
* Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)- address patterns of thinking & behavior to improve executive function & self-regulation
* Focused Mindfulness- improve attention & reduce reactivity
* Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)- for emotional regulation and managing impulsivity
