Valentina Verani, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Divorce is more than the end of a relationship—it is a profound shift in identity, routine, roles, and the future you once imagined. It often brings grief, uncertainty, loneliness, and questions about who you are and what comes next. Therapy provides a space to process the emotional impact of this transition, make sense of your experience, rebuild your confidence, and navigate the challenges of creating a new chapter. Together, we'll work toward healing, rediscovering yourself, and building a life that feels meaningful and authentic after divorce.

Authentically You Counseling
Treatment Center, LCMHC
Scheduling at AYC is easy - schedule an intake as soon as next week. Finding the courage to be true to yourself despite the challenges you have to overcome is the ultimate goal of therapy. I believe one of the greatest grievances is living an inauthentic life with who you are. Regardless of what you’ve been through, if something is stopping you from living your truth - if fear prevents you from engaging in life the way you want or you are attempting to live up to some societal or personal expectation so far out of reach it hurts - If something is preventing you from living your fullest life, you can make a difference!
I want to help you reach your fullest potential according to your personal truth, values and beliefs. If we embark on this journey together, you will be the driver. I will simply help you see the different paths to reaching your end goal. In the end, you must be true to yourself in choosing the path you wish to take - or none at all.
Finding your truth sometimes means making a decision about whether or not to live your full truth. We can work together to help you explore your options to make the right choice for You. Making the call (or email) to start your journey is the first step - Let us start your journey together!

Root & Rise Clinical Specialists
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
Our holistic approach to divorce work combines the structure of CBT, the emotional depth of EFT, and the forward-focused clarity of Law of Attraction principles. We help clients identify and shift the thought patterns that fuel anxiety or hopelessness (CBT), process the overwhelming emotions and attachment wounds that surface during separation (EFT), and begin rebuilding a vision for their life that aligns with their values, worth, and future goals (Law of Attraction). By addressing both the emotional and cognitive layers — and incorporating intentional mindset work — we support clients in finding stability, reducing reactivity, strengthening self-trust, and creating a grounded path forward. This integrative model gives clients both the tools and the insight they need to move through divorce with resilience, clarity, and empowerment.

New Bedford is a southeastern Massachusetts city with one of the most distinctive identities of any American city of its size—Herman Melville's Moby-Dick opens here, and the city was once the richest per capita in America thanks to its whaling industry—now home to the highest-volume commercial fishing port in the United States by dollar value, with an economy still anchored by fishing, manufacturing, and logistics. The city has a large Cape Verdean-American community (one of the largest in the world outside Cape Verde), as well as significant Portuguese and Brazilian populations, and the intersection of these communities' mental health needs—including the specific experiences of Cape Verdean identity, immigration, and intergenerational stress—creates important considerations for culturally competent care. Southcoast Health provides behavioral health services, and community health organizations serve the diverse population. Common therapy concerns include fishing industry occupational trauma and risk, Cape Verdean and Portuguese-American identity and immigration stress, economic anxiety, substance use (New Bedford has been significantly affected by opioids), and the mental health challenges of a proud working-class city navigating industrial and demographic change.
