Mrs Nathalie May

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“My therapeutic approach is solution-focused, using cognitive behavioral therapy, and I am trained and certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I am highly trained in Structural Family Therapy and works to improve family functioning”

About Me

I help families improve how they connect and function, drawing on my extensive training in Structural Family Therapy. Using solution-focused cognitive behavioural therapy, we address specific challenges with practical tools. For those impacted by past trauma, I am also certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I help you build stronger relationships and find clear, actionable steps for a more harmonious home. This approach offers a direct path for lasting positive change.

Approach

Work often starts by turning a specific family tension into a targeted, testable change—small shifts judged by what actually changes at home. I offer sessions in Los Angeles or via secure video, in English or French, keeping a steady pace that balances practical problem-solving with emotional safety. Sessions center on brief experiments, clear behavioural steps and skills to try between meetings to reduce anxiety, manage mood, address substance use, and support neurodiverse profiles. This collaborative, results-oriented rhythm tends to suit families and individuals seeking clearer everyday routines.
