Getting to know Charity May

Charity has always had a passion for people and their stories. From a young age, she recognized the value of offering a listening ear to friends and family, which inspired her to pursue a career where she could turn her passion for helping others into meaningful work. Her personal experiences witnessing loved ones navigate addiction, grief, and complex mental health challenges deepened her understanding of the importance of mental health support. These experiences, along with her professional work supporting individuals impacted by the justice system, crisis situations, and addiction, have shaped her compassionate, grounded, and adaptable therapeutic approach. Charity is passionate about meeting people where they are and supporting them through both their brightest and most difficult moments. Charity believes therapy is a collaborative process in which both the client and therapist bring valuable knowledge and insight into the room. She especially enjoys working with individuals who are new to therapy, helping them navigate the vulnerability of opening up and feel more comfortable embracing the therapeutic process. She also welcomes clients who may feel their struggles are either too big or too small to deserve support, recognizing that every person’s experiences and needs matter. Known for her ability to remain calm under pressure, Charity brings patience, warmth, and adaptability to her work. Her therapeutic style may include humor when appropriate, challenging unhelpful patterns, teaching coping skills, and equipping clients with practical tools to improve their overall well-being. Above all, Charity strives to create a supportive and engaging environment where clients feel understood, empowered, and confident in their journey toward growth and change.
