ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Brandon, FL

I am a lifelong resident of South Louisiana. I received a BA in Anthropology from Northwestern State University in Natchitoches and Master’s in Social Work from LSU in 2010. I spent two years in England working in child protection before returning home. Though I consider my background in working with children and families, I currently enjoy helping clients of all ages facilitate the change that they desire to better their own lives. In 2016, I received my LCSW and began working in clinical practice.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience providing individual and family therapy to children, adolescents and adults. My clinical background includes work with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, foster care youth, and individual navigating high-stress life transitions.

As a bilingual therapist (English and Haitian Creole), I am especially passionate about supporting individuals and families within multicultural communities where mental health may be misunderstood or stigmatized. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow.

Hi, I’m Dr. Latori Griffin, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (FL & PA) with a Ph.D. in Counselor Education. I work with individuals, couples, and families to navigate challenges like anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and relationship struggles. I focus on culturally sensitive, systemic approaches to support growth and connection in all areas of life.

Life can be challenging, and having a safe, supportive space to process experiences and create change can make a meaningful difference. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience, I provide a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and supported.

My background includes private practice, schools, child welfare, forensic social work, community mental health, and military support services. I have extensive experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, family concerns, and major life transitions.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I provide a warm, supportive space where children, adolescents, and their families feel heard and empowered. I earned my Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University and have experience providing therapy in school, community mental health, foster care, and telehealth settings. I work with children and teens experiencing anxiety, depression, behavioral and academic concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, family conflict, and peer relationship challenges.

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Through creative telehealth sessions using interactive activities, screen sharing, and games, I help children build coping skills, confidence, and resilience in an engaging way. I also partner closely with parents and caregivers to support lasting progress at home and at school while fostering a trusting environment where children feel safe expressing themselves within the boundaries of confidentiality.

Do you feel broken, beaten down by life's circumstances, trapped in your current existence, or tethered to a life you never wanted? Life can be stressful and overwhelming to ​say the least. You can feel stuck in life and lose hope of ever having the life you dreamed of before the path you were on was changed. Maybe a loved one died, you got pregnant, you lost your job, or you moved away from all your support system to a place where you feel truly alone. Or hell, the whole world gets hit with a sudden virus that hits pandemic heights.

Ever feel like every time you take a step forward, life knocks you down a flight of stairs? Now not only do you have to get back up, but the next step forward is uphill. You may be experiencing difficulty adjusting to the changes in your life. This can be exhausting and very tempting to give up on those dreams you had and begin settling for what life is now. You can feel trapped in a life you hate, doing a job you wake up everyday dreading to go to, and surrounding yourself with people you don't really care for.

What if the things that used to help you relax are not helping anymore and you cannot simply stop? You can feel powerless and stuck in a cycle that will not release you. Sometimes if feels like you can see the world crumbling around you but you cannot stop it. It can feel hopeless. No one deserves to live that way.

​What if I told you it didn't have to be that way? What if I told you that your dreams were still achievable but maybe need some adjustments in order to reach them? Are you ready to break the chains binding you to this unhappy existence? Do you wish to feel free of the stress and anxiety that keeps you feeling stuck?

It is true! You can still achieve your dreams! There may need to be a few modifications but you CAN be HAPPY! I will help guide you as you forge a new path to your dream life. Many times the circumstances in your life that have trapped you are molehills compared to the obstacle you can become to your own success. It didn't happen willingly, but you have begun to tell yourself, "I don't deserve my dream life. It is not possible to achieve it. It's just too much for me to handle. I will get to it later."

Eventually putting your dreams on the back burner leads you to have resentments and regrets. Let's change that trajectory together. We will identify the problematic thought patterns that have sabotaged your dreams and held you hostage. We will challenge them with truth and reality grounding you in the present moment and looking for the things you are grateful for in this life. We will then work together to change those thought patterns to new ones that encourage and create success. We will build you a support system that builds you up, provides your wind to soar, and cheers you on even when you are not feeling like you can rise to the challenge. YOU WILL FLY!!!​

Are you ready to break free, spread your wings, and soar? Call me for a free consultation! Let's set you on your journey to a life you enjoy!

My name is Cora McNeese Nelson and I am an Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I provide counseling services via telehealth which is a fancy way of saying my services all occur through video sessions, phone calls, or messaging plans. This can offer some flexibility in scheduling as neither of us have to commute to an office and I can offer services later in the evening than typical business hours. There are several benefits to telehealth services, but these services are not appropriate for everyone or every situation. Feel free to do a free consultation to find out if telehealth services with me are a good fit for you.

Athlete mental health means supporting the whole person, not just the competitor. My experience as a licensed clinical social worker and former professional athlete led me to founded Inspire U to support the person behind the performance. As the first social worker hired full-time by an NFL club to support former players through transition, I have built a unique career helping athletes, professionals, and high-performing individuals navigate the mental and emotional demands of stress, success, identity, and life transitions.
