About

Welcome! I’m Brian Adderley, a queer and Black therapist dedicated to holistic mental health practices and nurturing authentic connections. I understand the impact of shame and feeling unsafe in environments that tell us to hide because who we are is unlovable. Feeling stuck? Dealing with worry, fear, or the belief that bad things are bound to happen? Struggling with self-worth, feeling misunderstood, or grappling with persistent negative thoughts? These feelings are normal, but they can lead to tension and joylessness. Together, we can explore your unique experiences and goals, fostering peace and understanding.

Education & Licensure
MSW in Social Work from The University of Central and BA in psychology from The University of Central Florida, Florida, Orlando.
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I am passionate about healing my own inner voice with kindness. I enjoy holding space and helping individuals embrace kindness toward themselves while navigating feelings of anxiety, hopelessness, and self-doubt. In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, supportive space to explore your unique experiences and connect with your full self. My specialty is decolonizing mental health practices, integrating affirmative, mindfulness, CBT and other approaches.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I prioritize an approach that emphasizes your strengths, resilience and ability. I help to create a space to embrace your full self, cultivate kindness, and build meaningful connections.
