Real attorneys, certified mediators, CDFAs and therapists — credentials checked against Florida’s own official directories, not paid placement. This is the first state live; 49 more are rolling out.
Every professional below is currently at the Listed tier: credentials independently verified from an official Florida source, automatically included whether they’ve opted into The Cusp or not — the same way a bar association directory works. Nobody here has paid for placement, and none of them have published pricing or been reviewed yet. That’s the next tier, and it opens as professionals and members opt in.

What “verified” means on this page
Not every check is the same check, and most directories hide that. Every listing below says which kind it was, and the date we did it — because a license check is a photograph, not a guarantee. Somebody confirmed in August can be suspended in September.
State registerChecked against the state’s own licensing, court or bar record.
Issuing bodyChecked against the organization that grants this credential — authoritative for the credential, but it is their own list.
Membership listingA membership directory. Joining is voluntary, and this is not a license check.
Self-reportedTaken from this person’s own website. Nobody independent confirmed it, and we are re-checking these against an official register.
Source linkedChecked against the source linked, which is not a state register.
Nobody paid to be listed here, and nobody can. Listings are not for sale, and no professional on this page has paid us anything to appear on it or to appear higher on it. If we are ever paid in connection with anyone listed here, it will say so on this page, next to that listing. Most of these were confirmed against a state register. A small number were not, and rather than quietly presenting those as equivalent, they are marked and we are re-checking them.
Family law & divorce attorneys
Verified active and in good standing against the Florida Bar’s official “Find a Lawyer” directory, filtered to family law practice.
Broward County
Michael Leland Addicott
Addicott & Addicott, P.A. · Broward County (Hallandale)
Florida Bar — Member in Good Standing, Eligible to Practice · Board Certified, Marital & Family Law
License verified active/clear against the Florida Department of Health’s official MQA license lookup. Divorce/family focus noted from the professional’s own public practice listing; the license status itself is the independently-verified part.
Duval County
Brett Lowell Rhoden
Brett L. Rhoden, LMFT · Duval County (Jacksonville)
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, License #MT905 — Clear/Active
This is a starting roster, not a complete one. Florida licenses thousands of family law attorneys, hundreds of certified family mediators, and many more CDFAs and therapists than are listed here yet. Inclusion above doesn’t mean a professional has agreed to be listed, partnered with The Cusp, or been reviewed by a client — it means their credential was independently verified against the official source cited under their entry, the same way a bar association directory works.

CDFA and therapist rates in these counties track the regional South band on the main directory page ($175–$325/hr and $85–$190/session respectively) — South Florida runs toward the higher end of that range, Central Florida toward the lower end.
Child & adolescent therapists
For the children in this, not the adults. Every license below was confirmed against Florida Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage & Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling — never the federal NPI registry, whose license fields are supplied by providers rather than confirmed by a board. A child or adolescent focus is taken from the professional’s own public description of their practice; the license status is the independently-verified part.
Sending one person a straight answer about money is more useful than most advice. Nothing here asks for their real name, and nobody finds out they looked.
The rest of what we have written about Florida. Every figure is quoted from Florida’s own statute or its courts’ own published schedule, and carries the date we last checked it.
Everybody on this page charges for their time. If money is the constraint — and for most people reading this it is — these two come first, and we earn nothing from either.

What this means. This is when the sources on this page were last read against their originals — statutes, court rules, official schedules — taken from the dates recorded against the individual citations on this page. It is not the date the page was last edited. Adding a link or fixing a typo does not move it; re-reading the statute does. Where we get something wrong we publish it at thecusp.app/corrections with the date, what changed, and how long the error was live.
