Therapy & Coaching For a Neurodiverse World
Do you find yourself overwhelmed in a world that's not designed for you? Stop designing your life around the world. Design your life around you. The Center for Effective Artistry specializes in working with clients exploring neurodivergence, ADHD, ASD, AuDHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar, trauma, queerness, gender, race, religion, climate grief, and substance use. Many of our clients have tried traditional therapeutic approaches and have been left needing something more. We offer an approach that is unique to each of our fantastic clients. Our therapists hold diverse queer, neurodivergent, religious, and racial identities. Our staff are a group of nerdy creatives, who have talents in acting, play writing, singing, guitar, piano, music composition, visual art, and photography. We have therapists who have experienced trauma, racism, sexism, homophobia, fatphobia, and islamophobia. Our depth of lived experience and interests offer unique and powerful connections with clients. Additionally, we offer therapy in Spanish and Albanian. We offer in person and virtual therapy in the state of Illinois. Experts in Therapy for Neurodivergent Clients
The founder of our center, Brandon Tessers, is a nationally-known expert in neurodiversity, creativity, and executive functioning. Executive functioning is what allows you to take any idea, desire or decision in your head and actually do something to bring it into reality. We work with our staff on developing their own unique therapeutic approaches for clients with diverse identities. There is no one-size-fits-all approach at Effective Artistry. Many of our clients come to us frustrated with the formula of the therapy industry, which oftentimes focuses on pathologies and deficiencies. Our clients come to us tired of having therapists give them an "answer" that doesn't work for them. We see the strengths in our clients. We approach our clients with unconditional positive regard, respect, and autonomy. We lead with authenticity, and cultural humility, knowing that we can't possibly know everything. Our company culture is to challenge each other to grow and continue to be on the leading edge of the therapy industry. We have therapists who are EMDR-trained. Our approach emphasizes building shared language with the client that facilitates deep, meaningful changes. Reach Out to Get Matched With a Therapist
