Payton Long

Therapy is a journey best traveled in a space that feels comfortable, safe, and uniquely yours. My deepest hope is to help you discover that sense of security within yourself and to equip you with lasting tools to nurture it. Together, we move at your pace—taking the time needed to explore what truly resonates with you and supports your growth.

​

I’m honored to work with individuals at every stage of life, from children and teens to adults, couples and families. Through a person-centered, collaborative approach, I create a warm, inviting environment to help you feel seen, heard, and valued. By blending art and play therapy techniques, CBT, DBT, Acceptance, and Somatic work, I guide you in finding creative and meaningful ways to navigate the challenges and transitions that come with growing up and evolving.

​

My practice is grounded in respect and understanding for neurodivergent individuals, LGBTQIA+ communities, and those from diverse cultural backgrounds. I celebrate your unique personality and love weaving elements of humor, playfulness, and authenticity into our work together. My goal is to co-create a therapeutic experience that feels truly personalized and empowering for you.

 

When I’m not supporting clients, you’ll often find me immersed in arts and crafts, curled up with a good book, enjoying a movie night, or baking something delicious—because creativity and joy are essential parts of life’s healing journey too.
