Adena Broxton-Gelin, LCSW

Adena Broxton-Gelin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 13 years of clinical experience and a background as a United States Air Force veteran. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, motivation and self-esteem challenges, and the complex adjustments that come with life changes. Adena also addresses attachment concerns, co-morbidity, communication difficulties, first responder issues, forgiveness work, and veteran and armed forces matters.

Her approach centers on the understanding that each person is the expert of their own story and that strengths already present can be mobilized to overcome current obstacles. She emphasizes a collaborative working relationship that supports empowerment, practical coping skills, and steady progress toward meaningful goals. Adena combines clinical experience with life experience as a veteran to offer grounded, respectful care focused on rebuilding confidence and improving day-to-day functioning.

Rather than prescribing a single path, she helps clients identify strategies that fit their needs and values, drawing on evidence-informed methods to build resilience, increase motivation, and support lasting change. Her style is strengths-based, pragmatic, and oriented toward measurable steps that help people move toward a more fulfilling life.
