Payton ShepherdClinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW

About

With a background in counseling and social work, I bring experience supporting youth with a range of mental health needs. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and genuine. I value working closely with families—particularly the parents of my younger clients—to create an environment of trust and shared goals. In sessions, I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and play therapy techniques. I am currently pursuing certification in play therapy to deepen my work with younger clients.
