Introduction

Hi! I’m Payton Larson, an EMDR Therapist and Couples Therapist. I specialize in working with women and young adults who want to better understand themselves, heal from past experiences, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. My clinical training includes couples therapy, attachment theory, and family systems therapy, and I am a Certified EMDR therapist. I often work with clients navigating childhood trauma, sexual trauma, anxiety, and self-esteem challenges that can make relationships feel overwhelming, triggering, or difficult to navigate. My approach integrates these perspectives to help clients understand how past experiences shape their present thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Together, we work to process unresolved trauma, build self-trust, and develop new ways of responding to triggers and challenges. My goal is to help clients feel more grounded and confident in who they are, while creating the deeper, more meaningful connections they desire with themselves and others.
