Dr. Kristen Payne
Introduction
Hello! My name is Dr. Payne and I am a licensed psychologist in the state of North Carolina. I specialize in Clinical Psychology, more specifically, long-term mental illness, depression, and trauma. I aim to establish a safe and confidential environment where my clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. Therapy is a collaborative process between my clients and me, in which we work together to better understand their challenges, identify any patterns that may be holding them back, and develop healthier coping strategies to help them move forward. It is not about giving advice or "fixing" individuals; rather, it focuses on helping them gain insight, clarity, and the tools necessary to navigate life more effectively. I like to approach therapy in an individualized way to help target each client's specific needs. I have training and experience in multiple modalities including psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy.
