Find Adult Autism Care Near You

Hello! I'm so happy we found each other. My name is April Garcia and I am a licensed therapist in Illinois. I enjoy working with individuals who have ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent experiences. I believe that neurodivergent brains are incredible—creative, insightful, and often uniquely equipped to see and engage with the world in meaningful ways. At the same time, I recognize that these differences can come with real challenges, especially in environments that aren’t designed to support them. My goal is to help you build practical skills, navigate those challenges, and identify and strengthen the qualities that make you who you are. I am committed to creating a space where all individuals feel welcome and affirmed. I proudly support people of all gender identities, sexual orientations, family structures, races, and ethnicities. Wherever you are in your journey, I’m here to meet you with curiosity and care.

I’m Dr. Christie Pellow, a licensed clinical psychologist, and I specialize in comprehensive evaluations for Autism Spectrum Disorder in adults. If you’ve been wondering whether autism might be part of your experience, I’m here to help you gain clarity, insight, and a deeper understanding of yourself in a space that feels respectful and supportive.My training includes a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, along with a master’s degree in Applied Quantitative Research from the University of West Florida. During my master’s training, my thesis focused on helping children with autism develop communication skills through creative and alternative methods—an experience that continues to shape how I think about neurodiversity, strengths, and self-expression across the lifespan.I completed my doctoral internship at the West Texas VA Medical Center and went on to complete a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in clinical neuropsychology in private practice, where I received advanced training in comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological assessment across the lifespan.In our work together, my focus is on developing a full and thoughtful understanding of your experiences—your strengths, challenges, history, and goals—so the results feel meaningful and accurate, not just clinical. Many of the adults I work with have spent years feeling different, misunderstood, or unsure of why certain things have felt harder for them than for others. Being part of a process that helps you make sense of those experiences in a way that feels validating and empowering is at the center of my work.Whether you are seeking answers, self-understanding, or clarity for next steps, I aim to provide an evaluation process that is respectful, collaborative, and grounded in your individual experience—so you leave with insights that genuinely help you move forward.
