Stephen May

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes mental health care should feel collaborative, individualized, and judgment-free. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your treatment.

I work with adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health concerns. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I take time to understand your symptoms, lifestyle, medical history, and personal goals. When appropriate, I also consider factors such as sleep, nutrition, physical health, and laboratory findings that may be contributing to how you feel.

Medication can be an important tool, but it’s only one part of mental health care. Together, we’ll develop a practical treatment plan focused on helping you feel better, function better, and improve your overall quality of life.

My approach to care is collaborative, individualized, and evidence-based. I believe treatment works best when you feel heard and have an active role in decisions about your mental health. I take the time to understand not only your symptoms, but also the bigger picture—including your lifestyle, sleep, stressors, physical health, and personal goals.

When medication is appropriate, I focus on finding the simplest and most effective treatment while carefully considering benefits, side effects, and your preferences. I also incorporate supportive therapy, education, and practical strategies that can be used outside of our appointments.

I take an integrative approach to mental health and, when appropriate, may explore medical, nutritional, hormonal, or other factors that could contribute to psychiatric symptoms. My goal is not simply to treat a diagnosis, but to work with you toward meaningful and sustainable improvements in your overall well-being.

Your first session is an opportunity for me to get to know you as a whole person—not just a diagnosis or a list of symptoms. We’ll discuss what brought you to treatment, your current concerns, medical and mental health history, medications, sleep, lifestyle, relationships, and the goals you hope to achieve.

I want you to feel comfortable asking questions and sharing what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past. Together, we’ll discuss potential treatment options, which may include medication, supportive therapy, lifestyle recommendations, or additional testing when appropriate.

By the end of the visit, my goal is for you to have a clear understanding of my recommendations and a treatment plan that feels realistic, personalized, and aligned with your goals.
