Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Hamburg, NY covered by Aetna

Hello and welcome to my practice. I specialize in treating young adults who’ve experienced anxiety, trauma, and OCD. I’m level 1 trained in IFS and have extensive training in depth psychology.

I’m Paige Allegra Blayne, a therapist who believes that healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and accepted. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, OCD, ADHD, depression, relationship challenges, identity exploration, eating disorders, or life transitions, I strive to create a warm and supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, individuals recovering from trauma, and those facing challenges related to body image, infertility, substance use, and women’s mental health. My practice is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and the belief that meaningful change happens when you feel safe enough to explore every part of yourself without judgment.

My goal is to walk alongside you as you build resilience, reconnect with your strengths, and create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

I am passionate about creating a warm, kind, and safe space where you can feel heard and supported. With experience in both community mental health and private practice, I have worked with individuals from diverse cultures and backgrounds. This highlighted the importance of flexibility to meet each client’s unique needs. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all journey, and I want to work with you to understand the kind of support that will be most beneficial. My work is guided by openness, adaptability, and a deep commitment to personal growth and healing.

I'm a licensed mental health counselor with formal training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and a background in crisis stabilization — which means I've worked with adults navigating some of the most intense emotional experiences imaginable, and I know that the hardest moments don't define where someone ends up. My style is direct and warm. I'm not the kind of therapist who nods a lot and says "how does that make you feel?" — I'll actually teach you skills, explain what's happening in your brain and body,

and work with you to figure out what gets in the way of the life you want. I also happen to believe that therapy doesn't have to be heavy all the time. Humor and humanity belong in the room too. I work with adults across New York via telehealth, and I accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon, and Highmark plans.

Many of my clients come to me carrying something they never thought they'd be able to share with anyone. They've often spent years feeling misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or like no one has ever quite seen them. They're adults navigating real barriers in their lives shaped by unprocessed trauma, neurocomplexity, the ongoing weight of chronic illness or pain, or identity-related experiences that haven't always felt safe to explore. Whatever brings someone to my door, I meet them where they are.

Real support for real life, wherever you are in your journey.

As an LCSW with more than a decade of experience, I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, and life's inevitable turning points. Outside the office, my life is full with my small children and energetic puppy. I share that because I understand, firsthand, how full and unpredictable life can feel, and how hard it can be to carve out space just for you. That's exactly what our time together is for.
