Meet the Healing Harbors Counseling Team
Rachel Payne, Marriage and Family Therapist Associate
Supervised by Mandy Miller
It is my passion and hope to walk alongside individuals, adolescents, couples, and families as they seek healing and transformation in their lives, relationships, and within themselves. My goal is always to provide a safe place where clients can explore, discover, and grow. For clients seeking faith-integrated care, I also provide Christian counseling services.
I treat a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, divorce, eating issues, anger, loss, life transitions, maladaptive coping behaviors, and unhealthy relational patterns. To support this work, I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Family Systems Theory, Attachment Theory, and Narrative Therapy. I am also trained in Brainspotting, a therapy that helps the brain and body process trauma and triggers at a deep level, especially when talk therapy alone has not felt like enough.
For 15 years, I have served in church-based recovery and 12-step ministry, facilitating groups and mentoring people through struggles with addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, family, and marital issues. I am a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator for premarital and marital couples, and I have also worked as a fitness instructor and health coach, tailoring wellness programs for whole-person health.
I have been married for 22 years and am the mother of three children. My faith as a Christian is the foundation for all I believe and how I live my life, rooted in God’s Word and His amazing grace. Beyond my professional life, I am a writer of things, a lover of beauty, a truth seeker, adventurer, hiker, wonder chaser, hug giver, and hope harbinger. These values flow naturally into the way I counsel, offering a balance of compassion, honesty, creativity, and practical tools for lasting transformation.
