Getting to know Melanie Payne

Hi, I’m Melanie! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, and the pressure of balancing everything life can bring. I especially enjoy working with professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives, students, and individuals with nontraditional careers or lifestyles who may look like they have it all together but still feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about what comes next. My approach is warm, collaborative, and solution-focused. Together, we’ll identify what isn’t working, build practical tools, and create realistic steps toward a life that feels more balanced, intentional, and aligned with you.

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. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
