Stress
Valentina Verani, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Stress is an inevitable part of life, but living in a constant state of stress doesn't have to be. When we're overwhelmed, our nervous system shifts into survival mode, making it harder to think clearly, regulate emotions, and enjoy the present moment. Over time, chronic stress can affect our relationships, physical health, confidence, and overall quality of life.
Together, we'll identify the sources of your stress, recognize how your mind and body respond to it, and develop healthier ways to manage life's demands. Rather than striving to eliminate stress altogether, our goal is to build resilience, restore balance, and help you respond to challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional flexibility.

Robin Okun
Therapist, LICSW
When stress feels all-consuming, it does more than just exhaust you—it disconnects you from your sense of calm and capability. I provide a secure, remote environment where we move beyond simply managing symptoms to untangling the underlying triggers of your stress.
Together, we will develop practical tools and resilient strategies designed to help you navigate life’s demands without losing yourself in the process. My goal is to empower you to reclaim your focus and move through your day with a sustainable sense of well-being and 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!

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.
