About Silver Chair Counseling

Silver Chair Counseling was founded by Rachel Payne with a clear purpose: to create a space where each person’s story is deeply valued, where even the most difficult experiences can be explored safely, and where clarity and healing can begin to emerge.

Based in West Linn and serving the greater Portland area, Silver Chair Counseling offers virtual therapy to individuals, couples, and families throughout Oregon.

The Journey Toward Healing

Silver Chair Counseling was founded by Rachel Payne with a clear purpose: to create a space where people can explore their struggles honestly and begin moving toward healing and wholeness. Rooted in compassion, thoughtful care, and clinical excellence, the practice supports individuals, couples, and families seeking clarity, growth, and meaningful change. Based in West Linn, Oregon, Silver Chair Counseling currently offers virtual therapy throughout Oregon, with in-person sessions coming soon to the West Linn, Lake Oswego, and greater Portland area.

Our Mission

At Silver Chair Counseling, we believe people were not meant to remain trapped in anxiety, unresolved pain, distorted beliefs, or relational disconnection.

Our mission is to provide therapy that:

  • Brings understanding to what feels overwhelming
  • Brings order to what feels chaotic
  • Strengthens the parts of you that feel worn down
  • Helps rewrite patterns that no longer serve you
  • Encourages growth rooted in truth, wisdom, and grace

Healing may take time — but clarity, resilience, and lasting change are possible.
