Peyton Townsend

Hi, my name is Peyton and I am here to walk with you through your journey in reaching your goals. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and work with teenagers, young adults, adults, and families. Challenges faced by those I have worked with include anxiety, stress, mood disorders, loss, trauma, depression, behavioral issues, communication challenges, and identity questioning. I utilize client-based therapies, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy and other evidence based practices to best help each specific client on their personalized experience.

I bring an engaging energy to every client relationship. I genuinely enjoy connecting with people, and that enthusiasm shows in how I communicate, collaborate, and problem-solve. I believe great work happens when people feel connected, so I balance professionalism with personality. I share empathy and want to normalize the human experience together in the therapeutic process.

In addition to humor and positive energy, I am organized, dependable, and committed to supporting you and achieving positive outcomes.

From the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and judgment-free environment. The purpose in our first session is clarity and connection. Building rapport is at the core of what therapy is and how it can be successful. I want you to feel engaged and empowered in a safe space. We will also explore what brought you here, what current challenges you are experiencing, what success looks like for you and what you want to gain both short and long-term.
