May Elkady
Hi, I’m May Elkady, a licensed professional counselor dedicated to helping adults and teens who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or weighed down by past experiences. I support clients in understanding their emotions, breaking old patterns, and creating more balance and clarity in their lives.
I’m skilled at helping people untangle complex emotions, understand their patterns, and learn how to regulate their nervous system in practical, meaningful ways.
My goal is to provide a calm, grounding space where you can heal, grow, and reconnect with yourself.
First session
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know you and understand what’s been weighing on you. You don’t need to prepare anything or have the perfect words — I’ll guide the conversation at a pace that feels comfortable. Together, we’ll explore your goals, your current challenges, and what support looks like for you. My priority is helping you feel safe, heard, and grounded from the very beginning.
Strengths
One of my greatest strengths is my ability to create a calm, safe space where clients feel seen without judgment. I’m skilled at helping people untangle complex emotions, understand their patterns, and learn how to regulate their nervous system in practical, meaningful ways. My experience working with trauma, anxiety, and depression allows me to support clients with compassion while also guiding them toward real, lasting change.
Ideal clients
My ideal clients are individuals who feel stuck, emotionally drained, or overwhelmed by anxiety and depression. They often carry their stress quietly and push through life even when they feel disconnected or exhausted. They’re looking for relief, clarity, and a therapist who can help them untangle their emotions and rebuild a sense of balance and hope.
Treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT to help clients understand and regulate their emotions without feeling overwhelmed by them. Together, we build practical skills such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, and effective communication so you can navigate stress, relationships, and big emotions with more confidence and stability.
