Psychological Services Offered

Therapy Modalities

Modalities are frameworks for the type of interventions used in treatment. Different modalities may be used depending on the needs of the client. Dr. Payton uses a transparent, collaborative approach to treatment in all cases. Psychology is the science of human behavior; we discuss what evidence-based approaches are available and how to incorporate them into customized treatment plans. Clients are encouraged to ask questions throughout the treatment process.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT approaches increase awareness of the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Practice in re-framing thoughts can help reduce distress, improving symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness increases awareness of mind-body connections and improves calm-focus. These approaches can be helpful for stress-management, anxiety and reactivity.

In-Person and Telehealth Services

Dr. Payton is certified in telehealth and offers this full-time or as an adjunct to in-person therapy. Clients sessions may happen in any locality within Oregon, using secure technology for video sessions. Telephone or other communications may be used as well, including relevant reading or content referrals outside of sessions. In-person appointments are available in an inviting, professional office setting.
