Kerri Payne, LPCC — Therapist in New Mexico

Hi there, I'm Kerri!

I am very open-minded and compassionate. I love connecting with others. I try to meet you where you are and go from there.

My focus

I work with couples in nontraditional and traditional relationships. Many of my clients are couples and individuals who feel anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues.

My approach

My approach is to meet you where you are. I am open-minded and very compassionate. I believe the key to wisdom and peace begins with knowing and learning to love oneself.

My communication style

My communication style is inquisitive and curious. We explore through questions and understanding.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am originally from Chicago. I went to Northeastern University for an undergraduate degree in Justice Studies. I moved to Sedona, AZ, and went to graduate school at Prescott University, and studied somatic counseling/psychology.

My goals for you

I help clients learn to love themselves. Once we conquer this, many of my clients work on investing in themselves through self-discovery and radical acceptance.

Our first session

I give clients a clear understanding of what I do and ask many questions. We start with an intake and discuss goals for therapy.
