I’m Tiffany Payne, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker licensed in both Alabama and Illinois, with more than 11 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life's challenges. My background spans medical social work, hospice, rehabilitation, and social services, shaping my understanding of how health, relationships, caregiving, and major life transitions impact our overall well-being.

I founded Priority Path Therapy Group with a vision of providing compassionate, practical, and person-centered support that helps people move forward with intention. I believe meaningful change begins with understanding where you are, recognizing your strengths, and identifying the steps that will help you get where you want to be. My approach combines clinical support with a broader understanding of the real-life circumstances that influence emotional wellness.

Beyond therapy, I am passionate about strengthening behavioral health support for older adults, families, caregivers, and the healthcare and community organizations that serve them. At the heart of my work is a commitment to helping people feel supported, empowered, and better equipped to navigate their next chapter.

At Priority Path Therapy Group, our philosophy is simple: Preserve what matters, connect you with the support you need, and empower you to move forward with purpose.
