About Marci Payne
Hello, I’m Marci, a licensed therapist in Kansas City, Missouri. I offer individual therapy, online counseling, and self-love programs for people-pleasers, perfectionists, and burned-out professionals.
A Therapist Specializing in Self-Love
Even though I’ve been a therapist for over 25 years, I wasn’t always a self-love specialist. Because the truth is I wasn’t very loving to myself. I was too busy trying to be the strong one who had all the answers and would push myself until I burned out.
I didn’t realize there was another way to receive what I desired without having to work so hard, both in my relationships and in my business. That is until I learned about self-love, feminine wisdom, the yin-yang, and so much more.
Now I get to be a different kind of guide for you than I was in my 20s. One that can help you access more than your mind, so you too can receive more love, inner peace, and confidence. Wherever you are on your journey, I’m honored to be your guide.

I work through an IFS lens where all parts of you are welcome. I help you become a resource to yourself, no matter what life throws at you.
The modalities that have informed my work are Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Parts work, Mindful Self-Compassion, Bowen Family Systems, and Discernment Counseling.

As a 5/1 Generator in my Human Design, I love learning about anything that lights me up and helps me grow and heal.
I’ve personally studied self-love, feminine wisdom, human design, moonifesting, menstrual cycle awareness, 5 elements, and energy practices.

As a mother of two teens, I value creating a whole life for myself and my family. (Although they do most of the directing of their lives now!)
I love nourishing teas, nature photography, listening to uplifting music, journaling, painting, and connecting with my people.

Are you ready to work together?
Most of us were never taught that love comes from within too, so it can be helpful to have a guide. Someone that accepts all of you, while also believing you can find and grow your true self. If you are interested in working with me, then let’s chat.
