Getting to know Brooklyn Payton

I'm an Oakland native, a Taurus, and a therapist ' which means I take the work seriously without taking myself too seriously. I came to this work the long way. As a children's social worker in LA County, I spent years in the intimate spaces of Black and brown communities ' sitting with families in some of their hardest moments and learning, over and over again, that people are not the sum of their impulses, their regretted decisions, or the ways they've learned to cope. We are the result of our communities, our histories, everything we've had to carry ' and resist. My own time in therapy taught me something I couldn't have learned any other way: that being truly seen and accepted by another person creates slow, real transformation. That's the kind of work I want to do. Outside of the therapy room, I'm usually at a concert, cooking something, tending my balcony garden, or hunting for records. I take my dining experiences seriously ' no green grass walls and vibes.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge.

We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services.
