About
I am laid-back, love making people smile, and prefer to meet people where they are, rather than where a provider thinks they should be. This is core to my beliefs, not only as a practitioner, but as a person. Everyone should be treated with basic human dignity.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 3 years of experience supporting individuals across the lifespan. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, stress-related concerns, and life transitions. I work with clients from all walks of life and strive to create a welcoming, collaborative environment where you feel heard and respected as a whole person—not just a diagnosis.
I earned my Master of Science in nursing from the University of Michigan. My background includes psychiatric assessment, medication management, and evidence-based treatment planning. I take a patient-centered approach, emphasizing collaboration, education, and thoughtful care tailored to your unique goals.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed or unsure about seeking care, I want you to know you’re not alone. I am committed to providing compassionate, inclusive support and helping you gain clarity and confidence in managing your mental health. I invite you to schedule a session and take the next step forward.

My name is Dr. Payton Jackson III. I am a licensed clinical social worker and hold a doctorate in education. I have 31 years of experience in the fields of social work and education. I have worked with family counseling, individual counseling, individuals in substance abuse recovery, youth ages 14 to 18, and as a counselor, dean of students, assistant principal, and principal in high schools. These experiences have taught me that life's challenges are ongoing, and I believe that we are not designed to deal with life's journey on our own. I enjoy working with people to overcome these challenges.
My client-centered and strength-based approaches provide assistance to individuals in dealing with life's expectancies, both planned and unplanned. Self-empowerment and an understanding of what can be controlled and what cannot is essential. Working in step and together in a therapeutic relationship can make a positive difference in this journey.
You are not alone! The pathway of being the best person for yourself is real. Life and all it has to offer will definitely show up during this journey. You have the ability to overcome and thrive in the midst of this walk. Let's work together to have the best experiences possible on our life's journey, stay encouraged, and make an appointment with me.

I'm a Licensed Counselor with 3 years of experience in the mental health field. I'm passionate about helping adolescents, children, adults, and families reach their goals in order to live a more fulfilled life. I completed my Master of Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Western Michigan University. My role as a therapist is to provide a safe space where you can feel relaxed and move at your own pace. I offer a client-centered approach and believe you are the expert in your own life. I'm here to help guide you toward your goals.
I offer a non-judgmental approach and a safe space where we'll work together to help you navigate the roadmap to your life and be the healthiest version of yourself. I utilize various approaches including mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy skills.
Life, unfortunately, has no road map or single, final destination. Many find themselves searching for counseling when they feel lost, defeated, depressed, anxious, or hurt. I'm here to offer a safe space to those looking to make a change. I focus on helping you reach your goals by exploring behaviors and thought patterns. I focus heavily on helping you learn skills and tools to reduce your stress and empower you to make change where it counts. If you're ready to work, please schedule an appointment with me today.

Gambling addiction counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach designed to address and alleviate problematic or compulsive gambling behavior. It offers individuals a structured and supportive setting to delve into the root causes of their excessive gambling.
Our gambling addiction therapists in Grand Rapids, MI will collaborate with you to identify and alter thought patterns and behaviors that drive your gambling compulsions, often employing cognitive behavioral techniques. The primary objective of this counseling is to assist you in regaining control, establishing healthier habits, and addressing any underlying emotional or psychological issues.
Gambling addiction counseling with our providers at Thriveworks in Grand Rapids, MI is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of gambling addiction counseling can differ depending on the person’s particular requirements and the seriousness of their addiction. Typically, this form of counseling includes multiple sessions spanning from several weeks to several months. The precise number of sessions and overall therapy duration are determined through discussions with the counselor.
Some people can gamble for fun and lose nothing but a few dollars. Others, however, become addicted to the odds. Joey from Full House displayed a strong disdain for gambling when his nieces first proposed the idea to him. But after just a small return, he was locked in. And while he didn’t go on to develop an addiction in the show, this is often how it starts for many people in the real world. It might begin as an innocent night at the slot machines or one night at the poker table in Vegas—but become a harmful habit that’s hard to break and then an addiction that’s even more harmful and difficult to escape.
Fortunately, you can escape your gambling addiction. You can find help and healing at Thriveworks Grand Rapids. Counseling for gambling addiction has proven to help many people who are suffering with this problem. If you think that you might have a problem, or might be on your way to developing a problem, reach out to Thriveworks Grand Rapids. We have counselors and therapists who are eager to help you heal right away.
As mentioned above, some people do gamble occasionally for fun and with no serious consequences. However, others develop an addiction to the activity and suffer from harmful symptoms. These include:
You must present at least four of the above symptoms to be diagnosed with gambling addiction, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). The good news is, once you’re diagnosed, your counselor or therapist can set up a treatment plan specifically and help you overcome your addiction. Again, if there’s a chance you might have a gambling addiction, reach out to Thriveworks Grand Rapids. Our providers want to help.
It’s important that you seek help for your gambling problem–if it hasn’t yet developed into an addiction it could; and if it’s an addiction, you’ll need to confront the problem right away so you don’t suffer (or continue to suffer) significantly. The first step in getting help and finding healing is admitting you need a little assistance. You can accomplish this first step by giving us a call at (616) 425-2176. A scheduling specialist will answer the phone and help you through the process of booking your appointment. Here’s what you can expect from this process:
