Keilah May

Associate LPC-MHSP

Keilah’s desire to become a counselor grew out of something that had been part of her life for years: caring for people. Raised in a pastoral home, she watched her parents pour countless hours of love and care into others and learned early the value of walking alongside people through difficult seasons. She also became aware of how deeply people can hurt, even when surrounded by love, faith, and good intentions. That awareness led her to pursue counseling, driven by a God-given desire to help others not only with compassion, but with the knowledge and skills to walk with them toward meaningful healing and change.

What Keilah did not anticipate was how much becoming a counselor would require her to look at her own story. As she learned to recognize patterns, understand emotions and relationships, and help others work through places of hurt, God began showing her places in her own life that needed healing too. Through her relationship with God, her relationships with others, and her own journey in therapy, she began doing some of the same difficult work she was learning to walk others through. She came to understand that healing is not something a person simply learns about or helps others pursue; it is something each person must be willing to experience for themselves.

Those experiences continue to shape the counselor Keilah is today. She does not sit across from her clients as someone who has life completely figured out, but as someone who understands, both personally and professionally, that growth is challenging, healing is rarely linear, and sometimes even finding the right words to express feelings and experiences can be difficult. With that understanding, Keilah considers it a privilege to walk alongside her clients through the parts of life that are painful, confusing, messy, or simply no longer working. As she walks alongside them, she seeks to offer both compassion and honesty. She is willing to ask difficult questions, offer practical tools, and challenge her clients when needed, while empowering them to recognize their ability to make choices and create meaningful change.

Outside of counseling, Keilah is a Memphis native who loves traveling but is always happy to come home. She enjoys getting lost in a good book, being involved in her church community, spending time with family and friends, and regularly learning or exploring something new.
