Hi, my name is Lisi Brannen and I have been a Professional Relations Representative

at Sarasota Addiction Specialists since spring of 2024. I am a Certified Addictions

Counselor. Additionally, I have over 15 years of experience working in the human

services field serving those suffering from addiction and severe and persistent mental

illness. I have extensive experience working with the homeless population as well as

with incarcerated individuals.

I was born in Miami, Florida and lived there most of my life. I enjoy staying active,

exercising, cherishing family moments, being a mom and caring for my two adorable

pugs. I am the first generation born in this country with roots tracing back to Cuban

immigrants, and fluent in the Spanish language.

Driven by my passion to help those in need, I moved to Sarasota in 2008 and have

called it my home since then. Through my own journey, I have developed a true

passion for helping people which is exemplified by my ability to connect with others

struggling with substance use disorders. Working at Sarasota Addiction Specialists is

something I cherish due to its esteemed reputation, robust leadership, and exceptional

standing within the community. My journey thus far has been enriching, fostering

meaningful professional connections with individuals across various fields, including

healthcare professionals, legal experts, and other professionals.

Seeking treatment can be a daunting and uncertain journey for many. Being a part of

Sarasota Addiction Specialists is a privilege, as we offer a secure supportive

environment for recovery while also building a strong foundation for your future.
