Jennifer Payne
Therapist
Offers Online Sessions
Female
I am a person who is familiar with emotional pain. I spent years and years where you are now, miserable, trying to figure out how to make the pain go away, or at least lessen or change. I have searched high and low for therapists and ended up with the good, the bad and the ugly. I have tried to fix my family, fix my partner, fix my friends, fix myself. I'm still working on it. Over the years, I have been educated in mental health and counseling with professional training, education and personal experience.
I am a curious and accepting person who loves meeting and learning about everyone. Everyone has their own history, wisdom and gifts to contribute. I believe the counseling relationship, the most important element to determine a person's success in counseling, is built on partnership. You, the Client, bring expertise in you. I, the Counselor, bring expertise in a few different things. Together we explore and identify your strengths, values and priorities to determine the path best suited for you.
I address many topics, including mood and anxiety disorders, self-esteem issues, disordered eating, relationship issues, adjustment disorders, phase of life issues and other types of struggles people encounter over their lifetime. I primarily work with older adolescents and adults.
I also specialize in working with folx who are LGBTQIA2S+. I have worked with many who are transitioning and am able to write referral letters for gender-affirming procedures.
I have been counseling for over 17 years. I graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a B.S. in psychology then earned my Master's degree in counseling from Heidelberg University. When I'm not counseling, I am at the beck and call of my 2 cats, Minion and Onion. I am also glued to the television during football season. What am I saying, I watch sports all year round!
