You may look like you’re holding everything together, while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unlike yourself. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Registered Art Therapist, I work primarily with women and mothers navigating pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, and major life transitions—including anxiety, intrusive thoughts, OCD, depression, rage, mood changes, birth trauma, relationship changes, and loss of identity.

Dr. Sylvia May

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Massachusetts


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.
