About

Payton Newby,
Therapist, RP, Qualifying

I provide support to youth, adults, couples, and families navigating challenges such as emotional dysregulation, ADHD, PMDD, and relationship struggles. Whether you’re a parent seeking guidance, a couple addressing emotional complexities, or an individual feeling overwhelmed by mood swings, overthinking, or self-sabotaging behaviours, I work with you to regain clarity and develop the tools needed to move forward with confidence.

With a background in child care, I have a special place in my heart for supporting youth and families, particularly those managing ADHD. I understand how ADHD affects emotions, relationships, academics, and daily life, from navigating big feelings to coping with school pressures, social challenges, and organization. I also recognize the toll it can take on family dynamics and strive to provide compassionate, ADHD-informed support that empowers youth to thrive and helps families foster understanding and connection.

My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). I tailor each session to your unique needs, offering practical strategies to help you break free from unhelpful patterns, build emotional resilience, and strengthen your relationships.

As someone who has personally experienced the challenges of ADHD and PMDD, I know firsthand how these conditions can impact your sense of control and connections. My lived experience drives my passion for creating a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to take meaningful steps toward change.

 

 

Outside of my work, I prioritize the mind-body-soul connection and find joy in practices that nurture my well-being. Whether working out, spending time in nature, traveling, or connecting with my loved ones, I value moments that bring balance and authenticity into my life. These same values guide my sessions, where I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for exploration and growth.

If you’re ready to begin your journey, let’s connect to see if we’re the right fit. Together, we can work toward achieving your goals and creating the life and relationships you envision.

My therapy sessions are only $70/hour, offering affordable counselling for any budget.
