My work centers on women’s wellness, with a focus on supporting women navigating ADHD, ASD, chronic stress, anxiety, nervous system dysregulation, and life transitions. Through working with a diverse range of clients, I’ve found that many women move through life feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, and stuck in survival mode.

Hello, I’m Adedayo, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of healthcare experience including experienced across medical-surgical, skilled nursing, inpatient psychiatric care, and addiction medicine settings. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Massachusetts Boston and my Master’s degree in Psychiatric Mental Health from South College in Tennessee.

I specialize in treating adults ages 18–65 experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, substance use concerns, and other chronic mental health conditions. I have a strong passion for supporting individuals navigating life transitions, trauma, and emotional overwhelm. My approach integrates comprehensive psychiatric assessment, personalized medication management, and brief therapeutic interventions to provide holistic, evidence-based care.

I believe mental health treatment should feel collaborative, respectful, and empowering. My goal is to create a safe, stigma-free space where you feel heard and supported. I value shared decision-making, open communication, and individualized care plans that reflect your unique needs and strengths.

Above all, I am committed to helping you build resilience, restore balance, and move toward a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I am an LMHC who specializes in disability, chronic pain, trauma, grief, and LGBTQIA+ issues. I graduated from Suffolk University with an Masters of Science in mental health counseling.

Hi would you want to join me in your success story?I have been licensed in MA for over twenty years. I have helped families, couples and individuals navigate rough times with great success. I would love to help you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a passion for integrative, whole-person care. By blending the principles of integrative psychiatry with a deep understanding of adult medicine, I am committed to treating the mind and body as a unified system. I believe that true wellness requires dedicated attention to both.

I believe good mental health care begins with feeling heard. I’m Dr. Sylvia May, a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree. I provide individualized and thoughtful care for adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, stress, and women’s mental health concerns.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on understanding the full picture of your health and your life. With experience in both psychiatric and primary care, I consider how emotional well-being, lifestyle, medications, relationships, and life circumstances may intersect.

Together, we will develop a plan that feels realistic for your life and reflects your concerns, priorities, and goals - not simply your diagnosis.

I became a therapist because I wanted to show up for people in the moments that matter most. My background spans emergency services, crisis intervention, inpatient psychiatry, residential programs, and outpatient care — experience that shaped a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach to every session.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, panic attacks, anger management, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I also offer couples counseling through a Solution-Focused approach. As a Black male therapist in Central Massachusetts, I'm especially attuned to the needs of men's mental health — an area that is underserved and where I bring both lived experience and clinical depth.

I'm an LICSW — Massachusetts' highest independent social work license — trained at Salem State University and offering evidence-based, online therapy across the state.

I offer an environment of ease and attentive listening as a place to begin. Our work together will help you feel more grounded and less overwhelmed, so painful emotions can be met with understanding and long held patterns considered from new perspectives. Over time, you can expect to move through life with more self compassion and steadiness.

With more than 15 years of experience in office, hospital and hospice settings as a hospice chaplain, I have helped adults navigate grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and crises of purpose and meaning.

I graduated from Smith College School of Social Work in Northampton, MA, in 2002 and have been helping people with various mental health issues since that time. I have been trained in psychodynamic therapy, DBT, mindfulness, and Somatic Experiencing, among other modalities.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. There are credentials I could list and ways for you to assess why I am the right clinician for you, and while those things matter, what I find most true is this: I care deeply about this work.

Finding the right therapist is hard, and on behalf of all therapists, I'm sorry this is true. I won't promise a "safe space" for the people I work with, but I can promise an accountable one. I am committed to learning alongside you, knowing that we will teach each other what comes next. I will create the container for our work, and together, I hope to build a foundation of trust that allows you to heal, grow, challenge, accept, and integrate all that has brought you here.

Many people who come to see me are living with depression, overwhelmed with anxiety, or are processing and healing from past trauma. You might be going through a major life transition or find your usual ways of coping are no longer working. You might feel stuck, uncertain, and disconnected from yourself. Investing in therapy can be difficult when there are so many other things that demand your attention. My role is to help you explore what is important to you, what is getting in the way, and make realistic, actionable steps towards your goals.

Disclaimer: My current role as an Access Clinician at Harvard University Health Services allows me to work with folx from all walks of life. I hold a small caseload in my private practice to focus on my clinical interests. Due to my role, I do not see any actively enrolled Harvard students in my private practice. However, this means you can see me at CAMHS for short-term counseling.
