Grief
Ellen S Leventhal
Marriage and Family Therapist, MEd, MA, LMFT
Grieving is a highly individual experience; there’s no right or wrong way to grieve. How you grieve depends on many factors, including your personality and coping style, your life experience, your faith, and how significant the loss was to you.
Inevitably, the grieving process takes time. Healing happens gradually; it can’t be forced or hurried—and there is no “normal” timetable for grieving. Some people start to feel better in weeks or months. For others, the grieving process is measured in years. Whatever your grief experience, it’s important to be patient with yourself and allow the process to naturally unfold.

Grief
Robin Okun
Therapist, LICSW
Grief and loss are profoundly personal, yet the world often pressures you to "just get over it." In reality, grief has no set timeline and is experienced differently by everyone. I provide a supportive, compassionate space where your unique process is honored, witnessed, and gently navigated at your own pace.
Together, we will untangle the complexities of your loss—validating your reality against the weight of both outside and internal expectations. Our goal is to move through the heaviness toward a place of healing, emotional freedom, and a renewed sense of genuine ease.

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!

Grief
Beth Kurland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Many people come to me after a loss feeling as though something is wrong with them for grieving the way they do. Grief can be overwhelming, and it can take time to find your footing—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. There’s no single or “right” way to grieve; the process is deeply individual. What I’ve seen time and again is that when we make space for our feelings and meet them with compassion, those parts of us begin to feel seen and heard. In that space, healing becomes possible, pain softens, and a greater sense of ease can begin to emerge.

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.
