Dave Payne, (he/him)

My clients describe me as:

I offer insight from my own experience with anxiety & depression, so I am able to offer attainable, down-to-earth ideas and solutions.

Something to know about my approach is:

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I'll help you learn about the connection between your thoughts and feelings, & how this can have such an impact on your life. You can learn to break the negative cycle of thoughts and actions!

Together, we will:

I'll help you take a closer look at your thought patterns that may be contributing to how you feel a lot of the time. Then we'll discuss some skills you may use to evaluate and reformulate these thought patterns in the future.

I specialize in working with people who:

Everyday life can get stressful. Sometimes it can start to feel overwhelming. When you add anxiety, depression, or general stress to an already overwhelming life, it may begin to feel like it’s just too much to handle on your own.

I became a therapist because:

I know from personal experience what it feels like to live with depression & anxiety, and counseling has helped me to be significantly happier.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

It's my home. From my home to your home, this can be the most comfortable place to do therapy. Target problems where they happen in your daily life.

More about me and my practice:

Therapy should feel safe for you. Please know that the topics of prejudice and bias are very important to me—they hurt close friends, family, and clients—and I actively advocate for diversity and acceptance in my community and in therapy sessions.
