You have been putting off therapy for months, but the stress and worry is getting to be too much. You've spent years holding it together, with so many people counting on you at work and home. It’s exhausting feeling like you can never relax, be real, and let yourself be cared for. You’re an accomplished leader and professional, and as far as anyone can tell, handling high responsibility and high visibility roles well. You thought when you accomplished your goals, all would be well, but you still never feel good enough. You're tired of giving so much and appearing to succeed while privately struggling. It's time for a change.

I am currently accepting new patients for virtual sessions. Have you been feeling worried, sad or overwhelmed? Are you having a hard time adjusting to new life circumstances or changes? Are you finding challenging to connect with loved ones? Have you experienced the illness or death of someone close to you? Are you experiencing feelings of isolation, grief or frustration? Are you worried about your child's mental health, socialization or overall well-being? Are you looking for assistance with parenting strategies in the midst of evolving circumstances related to school, camp and socialization?

Do you miss who you were when you were a little kid, back before the world told you that you had to change in order to fit in? I can work with you creatively to rediscover and embrace your true self. I can help you find the joy you have been missing, to uncover the parts of yourself you have been hiding. Imagine feeling whole again, happy and playful like you were as a little kid. You don't need to be an artist to work with me. Just open.

Helping people succeed in love is my life’s work. I’ve dedicated my career to teaching people relationship skills because I know that the quality of your life is determined by the quality of your relationships. We don’t thrive in love by chance. We thrive in love when we’ve mastered relationship skills. None of us are born with them - but all of us can learn them. Because they’re skills. And, as a practicing therapist, I’m licensed to teach those skills. I have a Master’s Degree from Columbia University and a PhD from New York University. I’m also the host of E! Network’s Famously Single and the former Global Ambassador to Tinder.

You often feel like you're shouting into the wind, and no one is listening. What does it take to have your inner voice be heard and respected? It helps to get out of the echo chamber of our own heads and find someone to bounce ideas off of. This first step is truly the hardest, but it pays off quickly! Reaching out for help can be scary, and procrastination so easy to justify - but taking that first step, and resolving to change your life, starts paying off right away. When you're clear about what you're thinking and feeling - and why - it's much easier to know what to do next. Therapy can help you do that, and you won't feel alone.

Every individual’s motivation for seeking therapy is unique. I am sensitive to the specific goals that an individual has for the treatment, and frame recommendations accordingly. For some, therapy may involve a few, brief targeted consultations, while others may choose to engage in a longer term treatment. Regardless of the duration of treatment, I view the therapeutic relationship as providing the scaffolding to achieve one’s full potential, and resolve symptoms which often arise out of unresolved conflicts and anxieties.

In my current virtual practice during Covid I am working with many 20-30 year olds dealing with the anxiety of trying to live with city life and reckless roommates; all ages dealing with relationships with partners; couples postponing weddings; making decisions to move ahead or not and if so, how; all ages attempting to cope with in-home work and living arrangements; and the pain and changed nature of our current city life. As a former teacher I am working with teachers and parents to help deal with the unending stress of their kids' schooling. I help patients seeking relationships, fixing them and leaving them.

Asking for help can be difficult. Seeking professional support can feel overwhelming. I approach treatment from a solution focused lens. Our therapy will focus largely on helping you to develop the skills and tools needed to reach your goals and live a meaningful life. My expertise is in both addiction treatment and behavioral therapies [DBT and CBT]. This allows me to approach treatment with knowledge and experience supported by research while also employing a wholly individualized approach, understanding each person has unique needs.

You are tired of feeling anxious, worrying about a variety of different things and overwhelmed by your long to-do list. Anxiety attacks are stopping you from living your best life. You are struggling to stop your anxious thoughts from flowing into everything you do. You are always helping others and sometimes not making time for yourself. You are a smart and ambitious woman who sometimes doubts her accomplishments. Your insecurities sometimes rob you of your peace and prevent you from being able to engage in life in a relaxed way. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Greetings, My name is Dr. Payne and I am a faith-based clinician. At our core we are whole and wholesome human beings, sometimes however, we need assistance with getting to the core of who we are and with navigating life's circumstances. I have developed an integrative practice to address this. I believe that if it is wellness that we strive to attain, then we must engage in integrative and holistic practices that will lead us to our goal. Only then can we come to know the fullness of our potential and of who we are. I welcome you on the journey to getting to the root of who you are so that you can live out your fullest potential.

Many people seeking therapy are looking for an empathic and experienced therapist to explore personal issues in a confidential setting. Sometimes the first step is reaching out and scheduling a consultation. My goal in our first meeting is to listen carefully to your words and emotions with the intention of focusing on what experiences and events led you to therapy.

In this time of uncertainty, we can certainly benefit from SIMPLE and EFFECTIVE psychotherapy. The fundamental loss of our normal way of life causes anxiety, stress, loneliness, interpersonal conflict, trauma, grief and loss. Yet, it also presents an opportunity to view things differently, resolve unresolved issues, change old behaviors, and learn new ways to adapt. As long as you are willing to do the work, SHORT-TERM THERAPY DELIVERS LONG-TERM RESULTS.

In therapy, I help clients recognize the maladaptive patterns and harmful hidden systems that may be holding them back, and we work together to co-create a happier and healthier way of being in the world. As a professor at Columbia University and the Director of Clinical Training for the counseling psychology PhD program, my research focuses on how negative life experiences impact stress and well-being, and how this may be magnified for people from historically disempowered groups. Our clinical work can cover a broad array of issues ranging from identity development and career empowerment to recovery from trauma and sexual violence.

Are you tired of feeling stuck? Do you feel joy is no longer in your life? Therapy is a great way to regain your power and take control of your life. We often miss strong opportunities to improve our situation because we are simply too close and involved to see clearly anymore. This confusing and stuck cycle can take all of the joy out of life. Transforming your life is possible. Beginning therapy is a powerful way to stop struggling and take back the joy and power in your life. I believe we all have strength and resilience inside us. By connecting again to that strength we have amazing power to change and live the life we want!
