Hi there!
My name is Payton.

payton Gilliland, M.A, LPCC

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in your individual strengths. Together, we'll navigate life's challenges, explore what's important to you, and build practical tools that support meaningful, lasting change.

I'm especially passionate about working with adult women as they navigate the intersections of faith, sexuality, identity, and relationships. I value creating a nonjudgmental space where you can explore your beliefs, experiences, and questions without pressure or expectations.

Specialties:

trauma
spirituality
sexuality
Grief
Life transitions




Credentials:

Ohio dominican University, BA, 2020
Captial University,
M. Ed in Counselor Education

I earned my bachelor's degree from Ohio Dominican University and my master's degree from Capital University, and I'm currently pursuing my PhD. I'm committed to continuing to learn and grow, both personally and professionally.

I hope to help clients feel seen, heard, and empowered.

Whether you’re facing concerns related to sexuality, spirituality, relationships, trauma, or communication, or simply seeking personal growth, I am excited to join you on your journey to wellness and fulfillment.

Outside of Work:

You'll probably find me reading, spending time with my two dogs, or planning my next adventure. I love traveling, hiking, and anything involving history. Fall is my favorite season, and I'll happily take a cold, rainy day over sunshine and warm weather any time!

Ready to get started?

I'm happy you're here.

I’m thankful you are allowing me to be a part of your journey. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out to me at  or by using our contact form.
