Payton Etier, M.S.

My name is Payton Etier and I am a pre-licensed counselor. I have just graduated from Pennsylvania Western University, California. I earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Additionally, I earned a Bachelor of Science in both Biology and Psychology at Loyola University Maryland.

Throughout my graduate education, I completed both my practicum, as well as my internship here at Sanderson Psychological, LLC. I have worked with many clients, each coming from a diverse background. I have experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. I have helped individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, anger/irritability, relationship issues, family issues, grief and loss, and more. When working with each client, I commonly utilize various treatment interventions, as I strongly believe no client is the same. Some of these treatment interventions include person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy. Overall, I have always had a passion for helping others and I look forward to helping individuals navigate difficult life circumstances, cope with emotional distress, as well as find hope and healing.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and two pups! I also enjoy being outside, whether that means going to the park, going on a hike, or playing a round of golf!
