My “why” is rooted in a personal commitment to expanding access to the care individuals need and deserve. I am especially passionate about closing gaps in access to quality, trauma-responsive mental health services for individuals who are underserved and underrepresented. I believe that everyone deserves high-quality, compassionate care—regardless of their background or circumstances—and that belief guides my work every day. I’m passionate about building systems and teams that ensure quality services reach the people who need them most, and I find true purpose in the impact this work has on individuals and communities.
An interesting fact about me: I am a Combat Veteran who proudly served in the United States Army as a Transportation Management Coordinator from 2006 to 2012. Including a deployment with the 10th Mountain Division as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2008. In my free time, I love everything Halloween-related, visiting parks with my dog, kayaking, hiking, going to hockey games, concerts and live music events, or enjoying a great movie!

Hello! My name is Kim Lanthorn, I am the Director of Day Services here at Transitions Behavioral Health. I have been in this field for a total of 13 years. I started as an Intervention Specialist, was a Director of a School for students with disabilities, and then became a Director of an Adult Day Program. For the past five years I have worked at Transitions starting as community staff then transitioning to the Adult Day Program here. In 2022 I helped start the Early Intervention Program.
My “Why”- My daughter was diagnosed at age 5 with a processing delay and ADHD. Helping her get the appropriate support in her school was a daunting task and I decided then that my mission would be to help other children with disabilities and their families.I have loved every minute watching the progress of the 2 to 7 year olds in our EIBI program especially seeing them gain effective communication skills. Our Adult Day program, also called the “Best Friend Club” is full of love and has a staff that is unmatched.
In my free time I enjoy reading, crafting, spending time with my grandchildren and family, and my dream is to become a world traveler.

Hi, my name is Brittany Latin, and I am proud to serve as the Clinical Director at Transitions Behavioral Health. As an independently licensed social work supervisor, I have been dedicated to this field for over a decade, providing compassionate guidance and uplifting others.
My journey began at the University of Kentucky, where I earned my undergraduate degree in Social Work, followed by a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Louisville in 2010. It was during a leadership course that I discovered my true passion—supporting others in navigating life's challenges.
Outside of work, I love traveling, watching basketball, listening to audiobooks, crafting, and spending quality time with my family. These activities bring balance and joy to my life, reinforcing my dedication to both personal and professional well-being.
