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!

Christopher McDowell, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
I believe that everyone can reach their potential and the happiness they deserve, but we all need help along the way. I utilize a collaborative approach to face these challenges as a team.
I began my career by working with children in foster care for several years in multiple settings. I eventually joined The Home for Little Wanderers for my final doctoral internship, a child welfare agency in the impoverished areas of Boston. I stayed with the Home for 8 years, focusing on psychotherapy, treatment team/service management and coordination, and emergency management. I entered private practice in 2017, working for Collaborations in Clinical Care in Canton, MA. I then moved to North Carolina in 2021, and I currently work in Apex center.

Brianna Price
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, MHC
As a mental health counselor, I work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples to support emotional wellness, resilience, and personal growth. I take a warm, collaborative approach to helping clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger management, grief, trauma, and life transitions.
Drawing on my training from Boston College’s Mental Health Counseling program, I integrate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, family systems therapy, and mindfulness. I believe therapy should be tailored to each individual, combining techniques to meet each client’s unique needs while considering the connection between mind, body, and environment.
My goal is to help clients recognize their strengths, develop effective coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. I am committed to providing a supportive space where clients feel empowered to grow, heal, and move toward the life they envision for themselves.

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.
