I have served military families for 12 years. Military and civilian families share many of the same issues. Military families tend to deal with and experience multiple relocations. This means moving children to new schools, dealing with household packing and unpacking and stress in general. Civilian and military couples sometimes experience communication issues, disloyalty in the relationship or other stressful issues which cause conflict to arise. Some or all of these issues can be addressed and clients can find solutions agreeable to the parties involved.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Clients who attend the initial therapy session can expect Ms. May to share briefly, her personal history and what the average client can expect from her. Clients will be asked but not pressured to share their history and reasons why therapy seemed to be an option. Ms. May has been a counselor and therapist since 2002. She has also counseled numerous couples, individuals and families in South Korea, Japan and Germany.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Ms. May has civilians and military-connected families for many years. She also worked as a school-based counselor for three years. Ms. May especially enjoys the experience of observing families who find remedies and solutions for their issues.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

My ideal clients are those children and families who experience stress and conflict and are willing to attend enough sessions to remediate some or all of the issues. Weekly plans can be placed into effect, giving families or couples a map to success. Children will usually play board or other games with this therapist as issues are being discussed and suggestions are made during each session.
