Suellen May

Suellen May is a dedicated therapist specializing in supporting individuals grappling with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and complex relationship issues. Her practice is firmly rooted in treating OCD and its associated challenges, including panic disorder, social anxiety, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), emetophobia, and body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs). Suellen believes that every client carries a unique narrative deserving of attention to help illuminate the unconscious mind and alleviate distress. She is particularly attuned to clients who may intellectualize their struggles, often leading to overthinking rather than feeling. Through her compassionate and affirming approach, especially towards LGBTQIA individuals, she endeavors to dismantle unhealthy patterns and cultivate emotional awareness. With a focus on couples therapy and severe anxiety/OCD, Suellen employs a variety of techniques including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy (ERP), and inference-based cognitive behavior therapy (I-CBT) tailored to the needs of her clients. As a proud professional member of the International OCD Foundation, she engages in regular consultations with OCD therapists on both national and international platforms. Above all, Suellen values the feedback from her clients, fostering an environment where they feel empowered to express how their therapeutic journey is progressing. She is eager to connect with those who believe they would benefit from her supportive and insightful guidance.
