Jessica Payne

Jessica Payne is a compassionate and experienced counselor who approaches therapy from a depth-oriented perspective. While she acknowledges that insight is not a cure-all, she sees it as a vital first step in the healing journey. By helping clients uncover the roots of their struggles, Jessica encourages intentional responses to emotional flashbacks instead of automatic reactions driven by fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses. She is dedicated to creating a safe space where individuals can fully experience and process their emotions. Jessica fosters a therapeutic alliance that promotes self-discovery and healing within a nonjudgmental, empathetic environment. With a trauma-informed approach, she has a wealth of experience supporting clients recovering from both complex childhood trauma and adult relational trauma, including the challenges of narcissistic abuse—an area of significant focus in her practice. Utilizing an eclectic blend of therapeutic modalities, Jessica tailors her approach to meet the unique needs of each individual, believing in their limitless potential to heal and grow. It is her honor to accompany clients on their journey, guiding them to uncover the wisdom of their own inner voice.
