Self Esteem
Ellen S Leventhal
Marriage and Family Therapist, MEd, MA, LMFT
Pervasive poor self-esteem can result in anxiety and depression. How often do you stop yourself from speaking your mind, due to fear of embarrassment or being wrong?
These small self-confidence "blips" can add up, and compound your low sense of self-worth.

Self Esteem
Valentina Verani, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Self-esteem isn't something you suddenly find—it's something you build. It develops through the experiences you have, the challenges you overcome, and the promises you keep to yourself over time. It grows each time you choose courage over fear, self-compassion over self-criticism, and authenticity over people-pleasing.
Together, we'll explore the beliefs that have shaped how you see yourself, quiet the inner critic, and help you reconnect with your strengths and values. The goal isn't to become someone else—it's to grow into the version of yourself your younger self would be proud of. While confidence develops through experience, you don't have to wait to step into your own power. Therapy can help you begin that journey today.

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!

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.
