Payton Prather

As a current licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with over four years of clinical experience, I am dedicated to being an advocate for marginalized groups and spreading awareness on the current issues in the mental health world. My professional interests focus on the well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual (LGBTQIA+) people, People of Color (BIPOC), and adolescents. I am experienced in treating clients who deal with anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, trauma based disorders, and substance use disorders. My preferred therapeutic approaches are motivational interviewing; cognitive behavioral therapy; dialectical behavior therapy; solution-focused therapy; and client-centered therapy. As a therapist who is passionate about client success and practicing with a high level of ethical standards, I am eager to contribute to success by staying diligent and up to date on current mental health matters, excellent organizational skills, and providing clients with unconditional positive regard. I excel in performing clinical assessments to create personalized treatment plans for clients, fostering client and client family relationships, and providing crisis intervention to those in need.
