You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, racialized trauma or generational trauma that make it harder to function. For too long, the idea of mental wellness was viewed as a luxury only allotted to the few. Someone was considered “strong” if they endured a traumatic or life-changing event, regardless of functionality. We are now beginning to understand that those events can change the way we relate to everything. You may continue to engage in your day to day expectations like taking care of children, going to work, going to school, but you may not be sleeping well, may no longer enjoy things that brought you peace or happiness.

I recognize the significant impact of trauma on adults, children, and families. My passion is supporting parents, children, and families not only in their present healing. I aim to give insight into their own struggles to heal the inter-generational trauma and heal future generations. It stops with you. Systemic therapy looks at not just about the individual, but their family, community, the larger societal values and how that power, privilege, and inequity impacts the person in the therapy room with me.

No matter the challenge, learning can (and should) work in harmony with each learners needs. If you're exhausted from endless IEP meetings and looking for a learning environment rooted in therapeutic MUSIC, creativity & joy, I'd love to work with your child! Together we can amplify their potential academically, socially, developmentally, expressively, and for their holistic wellbeing. I implement effective, evidence-based treatment to help them succeed in multiple facets of their life. Fostering an inclusive therapeutic learning environment is the heart of my practice.

I help people heal from anxiety, trauma, and disconnection from self and others. You might be struggling to figure out who you are or how you feel. Perhaps you're anxious much of the time. Past experiences keep getting in the way of living your current life. You're struggling to make connections with friends and loved ones, or you have a hard time asserting yourself with the people in your life. You've been experiencing these issues for years, and you've tried to change them on your own, but the changes don't stick. You're ready to get to the root of things so you can really shift the way your life is unfolding.

Whatever you have going on let’s work through this together. I aim to provide an open, safe, nurturing space without judgment or shame. Finding a new therapist can be daunting. My practice is inclusive, culturally sensitive, and social-justice informed. I am a healthy at every size practitioner. I like to work collaboratively and provide compassion, humility, and humor along the way. My priority is to listen deeply, empower, and gently redirect or challenge where necessary. I offer counseling and medication management (uncontrolled meds), including concurrent acupuncture treatments during appointments.

Therapy is about learning how to tell our stories. It is deepening our courage to look ourselves in the face and tell the truth of what we find. It is taking in the bountiful love in the world though it sometimes seems impossible to find. It is learning to savor the taste of a good meal and laughter with others. It is knowing the name of our sadness whether or not we can find our tears. It is being. Just as we are with hope for more to come.

I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults who might be struggling to make sense of the complicated world that we live in. Despite our connectivity, it seems that we live in a time in which individuals and families are more isolated than ever before. I truly believe that we all need and desire a village — a network of support and care to help us when needed. It is my aim to be that extra form of support. I am here to help individuals and families navigate the more difficult hurdles and to find ways to work towards creating more peaceful, authentic, and connected lives.

I believe that you already contain a deep power for healing inside. Together with kindness and curiosity, we will create a safe and accepting space where all aspects of you are welcome. Our journey will be one of shared exploration and discovery. I am here to guide and support you along the way. Our work will originate in the here and now—what is present in your life currently, learning to meet what shows up with care and compassion. I love counseling those in transition— be that career, gender, or otherwise and draw from feminist, existential, Buddhist, and somatic frameworks and work from a trauma-informed lens.

Hi! I'm Kate Payne. I've been practicing for over 12 years building long term individual therapy relationships, helping couples through issues with communication, intimacy, sexuality and conflicts, and supporting folks working through past trauma. I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice using a relational approach, concrete skills, and EMDR for trauma processing. I believe in the strength of connection, vulnerability and insight to find healing and growth. If you are seeking support in everyday life stressors, or wanting to heal from past trauma, I would be a good fit for you.

I have a conversational approach and welcome humor alongside the deep work of therapy. I come alongside adults and relationships to support you in your healing and connection mainly through the lens of Attachment Theory, Psychodynamic therapy, and Internal Family Systems, but most importantly, I pull from many wise teachers to find what works for you.

The best way to face our struggles is to see them, and ourselves, with tons of compassion. We have the ability to imagine and to create our lives exactly how we truly want to live them. However, to live the life we truly desire, it takes courage and strength. Therapy can be challenging, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. My work is collaborative and strength based. I am an AASECT Sex Therapist, and a certified Integrated Intimacy Professional trained in a holistic approach to sexuality and intimacy.

Are you feeling stuck? Can’t break out of the cycle? Or maybe you recently experienced a loss, and you’d like help picking up the pieces to figure out what happened. Despite knowing that certain behaviors aren’t working anymore, it may be very difficult to change or interrupt painful, destructive patterns that seem to hijack our lives and relationships. This can leave folks feeling frustrated, helpless, hopeless, or just broken. Therapy can provide you with the experiences, tools, and insight to make meaningful changes in your life, in your relationships, and promote personal growth.

Being human is challenging. Am I enough? Too much? Feelings of anxiety and inadequacy can interfere with one’s ability to connect with the self and others. Personal growth requires integration of the mind, body, and soul. Understanding past wounds, exploring difficult emotions and identifying behavioral patterns are steps to creating more fulfilling relationships and providing relief from pain and hurt in one’s life. With empathy, acceptance, and openness, I aim to be a guide along your path toward self-discovery, authenticity, and belonging. *I am an LGBTQIA+ Kink/Poly Ally, I believe in social justice and racial equity.

I work with individuals who are seeking change and strive to better understand and work through their negative patterns in their relationships and personal lives. Have you been yearning for the love & respect that you once had in your intimate relationship? Is anger, stress, worry or depression getting the best of you in your personal life? Finding yourself getting into the same patterns of fighting and arguing with your partner? Not feeling heard? Maybe you've lost touch with the friendship & love that started your relationship. Do you find yourself shutting down to keep from arguing with your partner?

Imagine you have a collection of letters. Communication gathered throughout your life, but try as you may, you can't read them on your own. Perhaps if you knew their contents circumstances in your life could be different. In psychotherapy, you can figure out what these letters mean in a trusted, confidential relationship. By following what comes up, all that's been written in your life, no matter how difficult it may be, we will create space for change. Put differently, therapy is a space to, "Be what you are becoming without clinging to what you might have been; what you might yet be" - Luce Irigaray.
