About Dr.
Hi, I’m Dr. Jaylen Payne. I am co-founder of The Bradley Payne Group. I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing comprehensive psychiatric care, including evaluations and medication management. I believe effective psychiatry goes beyond simply prescribing medication. It starts with understanding the person behind the symptoms. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative, combining thoughtful medication management with a deeper exploration of your experiences, relationships, stressors, and patterns. My goal is to help you better understand what you’re experiencing, find a treatment plan that fits your life, and move forward feeling more like yourself.
