Hi, I’m Payton Bencivenga! 

I’m excited to potentially work with you! A crucial part to finding the right therapist is knowing that you can relate to them, so I’d like to share a bit about my own journey.

Throughout my life I struggled with feeling like I was manipulated by others, being frustrated that nobody truly knew how I was feeling, being hard on myself over things I can’t change, and a sense of being lost. My focus on the negatives not only left me feeling unhappy and isolated but also made me wary of others. I often felt that everyone else had their lives together while I was stuck, and my attempts to address these issues usually led to frustration and obstacles.

I’ll Help You Find The Answers

Deciding to seek therapy myself, I engaged in self-discovery, read extensively, and received support. This deep dive into understanding and overcoming my challenges transformed my life, turning my struggles into growth. I realized these feelings were okay, and this personal journey ignited my passion for helping others find their own path to fulfillment.

I know this time in life can be tough, with questions like:

• • Is my communication and relationship style helping or hurting me?
  • Does everyone else have it all figured out?
  • Can I truly trust this person, or even myself?

These are common concerns, and if you’re facing them, know that I’m here to support you. I employ a blend of evidence-based techniques tailored to your unique needs. We will work together to identify the underlying issues, develop coping strategies, and foster resilience. I believe in the power of collaborative exploration and empowerment, guiding you to tap into your inner strengths and resources. Sessions are interactive and involve honest conversations, and practical tools to help you make meaningful changes, with a splash of humor. I’m not afraid to challenge you where needed, because growth often happens outside of our comfort zones. 

You deserve better than just getting by, you deserve to thrive.

My ideal day off is grabbing an iced coffee, a good book, and heading to the beach.
