Behavior Breakthrough

Currently residing in Gallatin, Tennessee, Bailey Payne is a wife (to Aaron), a girl mama (to Renley and Pearson), and a full-time board-certified behavior analyst. Her passion is serving humans with quality and evidence-based interventions to maximize potential. She loves watching people smash goals!

Bailey was born and raised in rural Kansas—think dirt roads and no stoplights. She’s passionate about bringing research, services, and information to the underserved in rural areas. Since she was a little girl, she has connected with humans who display exceptionalities, including developing friendships with children who used wheelchairs for mobility, used sign language to communicate, and experienced other special traits. Her early love for those with unique traits seemed innate and natural, and thus, she devoted her life and career to serving people and their loved ones to promote independence and a higher quality of life. Bailey feels so lucky to do what she does because each and every family she serves fills her up and brings her so much joy!

Bailey has a master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pittsburg State University in Kansas. Her professional experience includes working as a psychologist at a state hospital, an autism specialist for the Kansas Autism Waiver, a project therapist with the University of Kansas Life Span Institute, a behavioral specialist with the May Institute of Autism, and a licensed behavior analyst serving the Bowling Green, Kentucky, community.
