Stephen May
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, unable to focus, or like your medications aren't working? You're not alone. Many of my patients have spent years trying different treatments before finally finding an approach that fits. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and shaped by a holistic philosophy. I integrate medication management, nutritional psychiatry, advanced lab testing, lifestyle changes, and mind-body therapies. I believe in a collaborative and empowering process, one that honors your unique biology, story, and goals.
Outside of clinical work, I’m committed to continuing education in integrative psychiatry, neuroscience, and personalized nutrition to better serve those I work with.
I specialize in helping adults with ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, and individuals who feel they've "tried everything" without finding lasting improvement. In addition to medication management, I look for why symptoms are occurring. When appropriate, we evaluate sleep, nutrition, thyroid function, hormones, vitamin deficiencies, inflammation, lifestyle, and stress alongside traditional psychiatric treatment.
First session
During your first appointment we'll spend time understanding your history and not just your symptoms. We'll discuss previous medications, what's helped (and what hasn't), your goals, and create a treatment plan together. When appropriate, I may recommend laboratory testing or lifestyle interventions in addition to medication.
Strengths
My goal isn't simply to prescribe medication. I want you to understand what's happening, why it's happening, and develop a plan that helps you feel like yourself again. If you've ever felt like your symptoms were dismissed, your medications only partially helped, or no one has taken the time to look at the whole picture, I'd be happy to help. I take a comprehensive approach that considers both medical and psychological factors contributing to mental health symptoms. Evidence-based psychiatry with a comprehensive, whole-person approach. Medication when appropriate. Lifestyle optimization when beneficial. Collaborative treatment and not rushed medication visits.
Ideal clients
I take a holistic approach to mental health care that blends evidence-based traditional medicine with integrative practices. This means I consider the whole person—mind, body, and environment—when developing a treatment plan. While I utilize standard psychiatric tools such as medication and psychotherapy, I also explore root causes through nutrition, lifestyle, and functional lab testing when appropriate. My goal is to support each client’s unique healing journey with personalized care that fosters balance, resilience, and long-term well-being.
Treatment methods
Psychoeducation
I believe that understanding your mental health is an important part of recovery. During our sessions, I take time to explain your diagnosis, how medications work, potential side effects, and the factors that may be contributing to your symptoms. Together, we'll discuss practical strategies involving sleep, stress management, nutrition, exercise, and healthy coping skills so you can make informed decisions and feel more confident managing your mental health.
