Grace Frantilla

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 16 mi away • Glenview, IL


I've devoted a decade of my career helping parents learn how to best help their children. And another decade helping adults in an out-patient partial hospitalization program. These are the moments when people have felt the most vulnerable and in need of something more than what they are already trying to manage their mental health. Hopefully, my experience and tools that I've gathered working across the age groups and in a more intense level of care can help you build your own toolbox.

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Chicago

Finding ADHD therapists in Chicago starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapy can help with executive function skills, organization, emotional regulation, focus, and daily structure. Some people look for adult ADHD therapy or ADHD counseling, while others need support for a child or teen. Medication management is a separate type of care offered by psychiatrists and other qualified prescribers, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose bio mentions ADHD, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, skills-based support, or experience with adult or pediatric ADHD.

Chicago has many mental health professionals across neighborhoods like the Loop, Lakeview, Logan Square, Hyde Park, and the South Side, which can make it harder to narrow your search. Consider whether you want in-person sessions near home, work, school, or transit, or virtual appointments that fit around your schedule. ADHD often overlaps with concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, or sleep challenges, so it can help to choose a therapist with experience across more than one area. Before booking, read the therapist’s profile to understand their approach, communication style, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

ADHD therapy in Chicago can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and match your preferences. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
