About Tricia

Tricia Payne is a clinical therapist based in Surfside Beach, South Carolina. She holds a license that allows her to diagnose and treat behavioral and emotional disorders, and she guides patients in building plans to shift their behavior, lift their mood, or manage hard circumstances. Tricia also takes pleasure in supervising other social workers who are pursuing higher licensure. Tricia earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She also completed two years of supervised post-master's practice at The Healing Center, which is part of the Aurora Hospital system. There, she worked with adults whose histories included trauma, including sexual assault. She keeps up with ongoing training so she stays skilled in treating PTSD and trauma. As a clinical social worker, Tricia offers assessment, evaluation, counseling, and interventions, and she focuses on preventing and treating mental illness, addiction, and emotional or behavioral problems, always keeping the patient at the center of care. Outside of work, Tricia recharges at the beach, where she surfs and spends time with the people she loves. She has a "dessert first" outlook and is always looking for the joy that comes with living and healing.
