ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Orlando, FL

I'm Nikki Brown — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of clinical experience across some of the most human corners of this work: drug and alcohol rehabilitation, hospice and end-of-life care, and private practice. I've sat with people in the hardest moments of their lives, and I haven't looked away yet.

I specialize in grief, loss, trauma, and anxiety — but what ties my work together is a deep belief that the people I see deserve a therapist who has actually been in the room with pain, not just read about it. My sessions are warm, direct, and collaborative. I work with individuals and couples, adolescents through seniors, virtually throughout Florida.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. My approach combines evidence-based practices with genuine human connection to help clients navigate challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful change. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply seeking greater clarity, I provide a supportive environment where healing and growth can occur.

Patient-focused and compassionate Psychiatric APRN specialized in the care of individuals living with Serious Mental Illnesses (i.e., Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Schizophrenia, MDD, GAD, ADHD). I understand the challenges of navigating periods of depression, PTSD, mania, and the uncertainty that can come in between. My mission is to provide supportive, evidence-based care that helps you establish stability, regain balance, and enhance your quality of life.

I take a whole-person approach, offering:

• Thoughtful medication management tailored to your unique needs.
• Therapy options such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT).
• Education and guidance to help you recognize early warning signs of mood changes.
• Support for families and loved ones who play an important role in recovery.

My goal is not only to reduce symptoms but also to help you live with greater confidence, stability, and well-being.

Hello, my name is Courtney, and I believe the power of connection can have a profound impact on a person's mental health. I love helping people and watching people grow. I enjoy learning about others so I can help them see their potential and learn from the challenges they have faced in their lives.

I believe that effective mental health care starts with trust, respect, and open communication. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable discussing your concerns and experiences. I work with individuals facing a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and other psychiatric conditions. Together, we'll focus on understanding your unique experiences and developing a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and values.

I take a thoughtful, compassionate, and individualized approach to psychiatric care. I believe effective mental health treatment begins with understanding each person’s unique experiences, symptoms, and treatment goals through a supportive and professional approach.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a background in both clinical practice and nursing education. This allows me to combine evidence-based psychiatric care with a practical understanding of the challenges many adults face in their day-to-day lives.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and ADHD through personalized psychiatric evaluations and medication management.

My goal is to provide a professional and supportive environment where individuals feel respected, understood, and actively involved in their treatment planning. Care is focused on supporting emotional wellness, symptom improvement, stability, and overall daily functioning.

If anxiety, depression, stress, or other mental health challenges have made it difficult to feel like yourself, you're not alone. I believe meaningful healing begins when you feel genuinely heard and supported. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide personalized, evidence-based care designed around your unique needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Together, we'll identify what's holding you back, build on your strengths, and create a clear path toward greater balance, confidence, and lasting emotional wellness.
