Trevor Payne, MSW, LSW,
Therapy with Trevor
Hello and Welcome!
I’m glad you’re here. I work with neurodivergent teens and adults, and children. I have particular experience supporting individuals with ADHD, autism, and anxiety, as well as gender-diverse and queer clients.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or unsure how to express your needs, you don’t have to navigate it alone therapy offers a space to explore what’s happening beneath the surface and build tools that truly support you. My approach is grounded in social work values, empowerment, and social justice. I primarily draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
DBT teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness helping you manage emotions, handle challenges, stay present, and communicate effectively. MI supports motivation and self-directed change without pressure or judgment.
In our work together, I aim to minimize power dynamics and foster a collaborative relationship where you can show up as your authentic self. You don’t need the “right words” or perfect clarity.
​
My goal is to provide a supportive, affirming environment where you feel safe, understood, and empowered. I’d love to connect. Feel free to reach out!
​​Background:
-
I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Indiana University East in Richmond, IN, where I also completed a minor in Criminal Justice and obtained a certificate in Drug and Alcohol Abuse.
-
I then pursued my Master of Social Work at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, now known as Indiana University of Indianapolis, with a focus on Mental Health and Addiction.
-
My professional journey includes two years of service as an AmeriCorps member in public health. This experience has shaped my practice, allowing me to incorporate a harm reduction and sex-positive approach in my work.​

Fun Info
-
I love the water, whether that be the ocean, lake, or swimming pool… I blame it on the Pisces part of me.
-
I enjoy biking and taking nature walks, which help me reconnect and ground myself.
-
I'm a huge fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas and believe it deserves to be celebrated as both a Halloween and Christmas classic!
