Title: Therapist Intern
Pronouns: he/him
Role: Intern Therapist
Locations: Collegeville & Virtually
Accepting New Clients: Yes
Payton (he/him) works with people who are ready for someone in their corner. He sees adolescents, young adults, college students, adults, and couples who are navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, relational challenges, and career transitions.
He’s especially excited to work with men around his age and to be an advocate for them. Payton wants to be a guide and someone they can voice their struggles with and feel comfortable doing so. He also works with anyone dealing with career anxiety or development, people trying to figure out what’s next, and folks who feel stuck in their own heads.
Payton uses CBT, mindfulness-based approaches, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Motivational Interviewing. He likes to keep things pretty fluid and informal. He’ll guide and redirect when needed, but the experience is set for the client, and he approaches things from a very “client first” mentality.

Payton’s Approach
Therapy with Payton is healing, not fixing. It’s a space where clients can feel seen, understood, and know that they have someone in their corner.
He’s welcoming and direct. Payton likes to keep things fluid and doesn’t want anyone to feel upheld by rigidity. If someone wants something more structured, they’ll work that way. If they need to just talk and explore, they’ll do that. This is the client’s space, and he’ll meet them wherever they are.
Payton is naturally exploratory and directive. He likes to ask a lot of questions that help clients explore different avenues of thought. But he’s also direct, and he thinks there’s a lot of benefit to that. He just wants to make sure he’s not rushing anyone.
He expects accountability from clients in terms of the work they do, meeting times, and payments. But he’s also patient, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and encouraging.
