Hi! I'm a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida with three years of experience helping individuals, families, and children identify their strengths and achieve their goals. I am originally from Texas and received my Master's in Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling from Prairie View A&M. I enjoyed working as an elementary school counselor for 8 years in Hillsborough County where I passionately supported children in their academic, social, and emotional well-being. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, behavioral concerns, relationships, life transitions, as well as ADHD and ASD strategies for all ages.
Hi! I'm Alisa. I have always valued the importance of community and I truly believe no one is meant to get through life and the challenges that come with it, alone.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Lakeland, FL
Finding ADHD therapists in Lakeland starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists can help with executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation strategies, organization, and time management. Psychiatrists and other prescribing clinicians can help with medication management when that is part of your care plan. Adults, children, and teens may need different types of ADHD support, so look for a therapist whose listed specialties match your age group, goals, and any related concerns, such as anxiety, depression, stress, or school and work challenges.
In a smaller city like Lakeland, local ADHD specialists may have limited appointment times, so virtual care can give you more options while still keeping care accessible from home. You may want to compare therapists by availability, whether they are accepting new patients, therapeutic approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. ADHD can also overlap with anxiety or depression, so reading therapist bios can help you see who has experience with more than one concern and how they describe their style, session structure, and approach to care.
Therapy in Lakeland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for ADHD therapists who are accepting new patients, compare profiles, check insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you are 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.
