I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself without judgment. My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered, and I believe you are the expert on your own life. Together, we will explore your challenges, build practical coping skills, and work toward goals that are meaningful to you. I strive to provide unconditional positive regard and support you at a pace that feels comfortable and empowering.

Therapist

As a therapist, I see it as a tremendous responsibility to serve others in their best interest while honoring their autonomy and path. I believe coming to therapy is courageous, and you should feel accepted without judgment. I work with clients from teenagers to seniors navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, emotional regulation, stress, and life transitions. I especially enjoy helping those who feel stuck or overwhelmed understand their story and patterns, while taking meaningful steps toward a more intentional life. I sit beside you, help you understand, and pair insight with practical tools and meaningful action.

George Gifford

George Gifford

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


Greetings, I am an eleven-year Marine Corps veteran (2003 to 2014), experienced in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use disorders. My main approach is person centered with a spattering of CBT, ACT, and REBT. Feel free to chat with me a bit and see if we work well together. I am unable to hold in person sessions at this time as I am living in Georgia, but I do miss Boston and lived there from 2018 to 2024. I completed my master's in mental health counseling at Cambridge College in 2022, worked in a psychiatric hospital in a dual diagnosis role from 2022 to 2023, and moved on to community mental health where I worked as an outpatient clinician from 2023 to 2024, earning my licensure in December of that year. I took some time off from conducting therapeutic sessions due to a personal need. During that time, I worked with the Department of Social Services in South Carolina as a foster care case manager and later with a residential substance abuse treatment center at Johnson State Prison, Georgia. I am now back on the plate and ready to get back into hosting mental health therapy sessions remotely. Perhaps I will return to Massachusetts in the future.

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 thoughtful, individualized 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.
