Genevieve Payne, LMFT

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I, Genevieve Payne, have dedicated my career to helping individuals, particularly women, navigate some of the most significant transitions in their lives. With over twenty years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with numerous clients, each with their unique stories and challenges.

My Approach to Therapy

I am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My therapy approach is tailored to each client's specific needs, but at its core lies a deep respect for the individual's autonomy and the understanding that growth and healing require a gentle and supportive environment.

Individual Therapy

My individual therapy services are designed to help adolescents and adults address a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, family dynamics, chronic stress, grief, loss, trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Through our collaborative journey, we will work together to identify your goals and develop strategies to achieve them.

EMDR Therapy

As a certified EMDR therapist, I am trained to utilize this evidence-based approach to treat trauma, anxiety, and a variety of other problems and disorders. EMDR is a powerful tool that helps individuals process traumatic memories and emotions, allowing them to reframe their experiences and move forward in a more positive and growth-oriented direction.

Pregnancy and Postpartum Care

Pregnancy, birth, and the transition to parenthood can be a time of intense joy, but also significant stress and adjustment. I am dedicated to supporting women during this critical period, helping them navigate the physical and emotional changes that come with pregnancy and postpartum.

My Credentials

I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from JFK University and am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #T1414). I have completed EMDR basic training through the Sonoma Psychotherapy Institute and have specialized training in EMDR, somatic-based therapies, and sandtray therapy.

Why Choose Me?

As a seasoned therapist with extensive experience, I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care that is tailored to your unique needs and concerns. My goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate life's challenges and transitions, empowering you with the skills and tools necessary to thrive in all aspects of your life.
