Nature knows how to heal. So do you.

About the Practice

Forest Tides Therapy was built on the quiet wisdom of the forest and the steady rhythm of the ocean; two forces that remind us it is okay to rest, and that even the most turbulent tides eventually find their way to shore.

This practice was created to be that kind of space for you. A place to pause, breathe, and work through life's real challenges relationship stress, interpersonal struggles, and the weight of navigating systemic oppression without judgment.

Forest Tides challenges the traditional image of therapy: the blank-slate therapist, the stiff chair, the silent nods. Here, therapy looks different. It makes room for movement, curiosity, and genuine connection. It meets you exactly where you are and walks alongside you while equipping you with the tools and skills to build a life that feels more like your own.

About Me

Hello and welcome. I’m Trevor Payne — Owner, Therapist, and Life Coach at Forest Tides Therapy LLC.

I hold a Master of Social Work from Indiana University–Indianapolis with a concentration in mental health and addiction. I have two years of direct clinical experience and four years in the public health field. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and I live with ADHD, which informs my empathic and practical approach to care.

Primary modalities I use

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Strengths-based therapy

Who I work with I provide individual therapy and life coaching for adults navigating:

  • Interpersonal and relationship challenges

  • ADHD and autism

  • Anxiety disorders

  • Bipolar disorder

  • Borderline personality disorder

  • Binge eating disorder

  • Suicidal ideation and self-harm behaviors

  • Members of the LGBTQIA+ community, with particular experience supporting transgender and gender-diverse clients

My approach I blend evidence-based techniques with a strengths-focused, collaborative stance. I prioritize creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where your lived experience including neurodiversity and queer identity is respected and integrated into treatment planning. Together we’ll identify goals, build skills to manage distress, and develop practical strategies to improve functioning and quality of life.
