About Hannah Payne

Welcome! I’m Hannah

As a counselor, my first priority is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and valued for who you are. I understand that stepping into counseling can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to ensure you have a space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of criticism or dismissal. This is your time, where honesty, openness, and authenticity are encouraged and honored. While we will work together as a team, I also believe in empowering you to take ownership of your sessions. My role is not to lead from the front or push from behind, but to walk alongside you; offering guidance, support, and practical tools to help you navigate life’s challenges and discover your own inner strength.

My counseling philosophy is rooted in a holistic understanding of mental health, recognizing that emotional, mental, and physical well-being are deeply interconnected. True healing often requires more than addressing a single symptom or situation, it involves understanding the whole person: your history, your relationships, your environment, and your hopes for the future. Together, we will identify patterns in your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that may be holding you back, and we will work collaboratively to develop strategies that promote meaningful, lasting change.

I view therapy as more than a response to difficulties, it is an opportunity for growth, self-discovery, and transformation. It is a place where you can learn to quiet self-doubt, strengthen your trust in your own voice, and develop the confidence to take the next steps in your life. Whether you are seeking to heal from past wounds, navigate a life transition, or reconnect with your sense of purpose and resilience, my commitment is to walk with you every step of the way…with compassion, courage, and hope.
