Getting to know Dr. Sam Payne

Dr. Payne’s specialties include working with all ages, families, and couples/partners living with a variety of symptoms and presentations including but not limited to: depression and other mood disorders, anxiety symptoms, relational difficulties, persons presenting on the Autism Spectrum, people who identify as LGBTQIAA2S+, neurodivergent individuals, and those who have experienced trauma. Dr. Payne is also part of our LPP Assessment Team, conducting neuropsychological, academic, emotional/personality, and Autism Spectrum Disorder testing in our office. In working with his clients, Dr. Payne gathers the context of the person (such as environmental, societal, historical, and social factors) with the aim of understanding the client’s experiences as clearly as possible. He strives to incorporate an intersectional, validating, body-positive, and sex-positive approach to working with clients. He believes that a safe and empathic environment is one in which a client feels empowered and seen, resulting in a basis for movement towards self-actualization, individuation, and personal success. In addition to a diverse array of professional experience, Dr. Payne completed the Exploring Psychoanalysis fellowship with the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute to build upon his psychodynamic and psychoanalytic knowledge base and therapeutic experience. Dr. Payne is also trained in the usage of EMDR for various symptoms most notably associated with trauma.
