Kristin Tomasello May

Kristin May, MA, LPC

Hi, I’m Kristin Tomasello May. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I bring a genuine, compassionate, and light-hearted approach to helping children, teens, adults, and families find healing and empower themselves.

I believe in creating a collaborative space where meaningful healing can flourish. My work is rooted in the belief that treating everyone with respect and fostering genuine connection is paramount to the therapeutic process. I’m here to walk alongside you, offering understanding and practical tools as you navigate life’s challenges.

Specializing in Perinatal Mental Health

Pregnancy, while beautiful, brings about profound hormonal changes that can affect both physical and mental health. This journey can sometimes leave you feeling lost, confused, overwhelmed, and like a stranger in your own body.

I’m deeply passionate about supporting individuals through the unique emotional intensity and disruption that can come with postpartum anxiety, depression, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). These experiences can often feel incredibly isolating, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. My goal is to help you reconnect with your true, grounded, and empowered self, restoring your vitality for life and helping you discover joy during this transformative period.

Holistic Healing for Wellness

My own personal challenges with a thyroid disorder and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis ignited a passion within me for integrative wellness and holistic health approaches. I deeply understand the profound impact that thyroid disorders, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune diseases can have on your mental health and emotional well-being.

I strive to empower women and teens to access their true potential by focusing on the mind, body, and spiritual connection. In our sessions, I’ll equip you with stress reduction techniques, mindfulness-based approaches, and lifestyle changes designed to reduce anxiety, depression, burnout, and overwhelm. My aim is to help you restore faith in yourself and regain a vibrant sense of well-being.

Compassionate Support for Grief & Loss

My background as a licensed funeral director has given me a profound understanding of how loss can have a lasting and deeply impactful effect on people’s lives. I walk as a companion alongside individuals, children, and families as they experience their unique grief journey. I’ve infused my love for volunteering and counseling into community outreach events, fundraising programs, and annual Services of Remembrance. I have also led grief and loss support groups in high-risk school areas. I’m here to help you navigate your grief with compassion and understanding.

Supporting Children, Teens & Families

I also truly enjoy working with children and families. I bring a warm, empathetic, and creative approach to our sessions, utilizing:

Play Therapy: Recognizing that for children, play is their primary mode for expressing thoughts and navigating emotions. This helps them identify and express feelings, build coping skills, and enhance family connections.
Therapeutic Parenting Education: I’m passionate about providing families with education and tools to foster healthy attachments, build emotionally connected relationships, and enhance positive communication within the family system.

My Integrative Approach

My genuine and compassionate understanding is rooted in extensive training in various evidence-based modalities, which I tailor to your individual needs. My “toolbox” includes:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Integrative Medicine principles
Mindfulness
Play Therapy
Sand Tray Therapy
Trauma-informed care

My Journey & Life Beyond Sessions

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Fairleigh Dickinson University and a Master of the Arts in Counseling from Arcadia University, with concentrations in child therapy, family therapy, and trauma.

Outside of the counseling office, I love to balance my life with cooking, exercising, reading, and meditation. I enjoy traveling and spending quality time with family and friends. I’m an avid Philadelphia sports fan, and in the summer, you’ll find me enjoying the Jersey shore. As a lover of all things Disney, I cherish my time spent working as a Walt Disney World Cast Member in the Disney College Program.
