I earned my Master of Science degree in professional clinical mental health counseling at University of WI-Oshkosh. Prior to having my own private practice, I worked as a therapist, dual-diagnosis therapist, and crisis worker serving diverse populations of all ages and with a wide variety of concerns. I have specialized training in DBT, CBT, EMDR, hypnotherapy, IFS, ACT, ADHD, anxiety, Christian life coaching, and have worked as a certified integrative health coach. I have specialized in somatic healing techniques and neuroscience as well. I utilize a strength-based, compassion-led, eclectic mix of therapies based on client needs. I believe in educating clients to help them gain knowledge and feel empowered to make changes and to grow and in treating the whole person – mind, heart, body, and spirit.
Additional areas of focus: Communication problems, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Self-love
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Annamay Payten. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Annamay really listened to my needs and offered helpful tools and insight to use toward meeting my specific needs and goals. She also responds very quickly to texts and always listens without judgment.
