Valentina Verani, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
I believe therapy is one of the few places where you can be fully honest without fear of judgment. My style is warm, collaborative, and conversational, blending genuine curiosity with clinical insight. Rather than simply offering advice, I help clients understand the deeper patterns influencing their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and choices. Together, we explore both the "why" behind your experiences and the practical steps needed to create meaningful change. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, challenged, and supported as you build a life that feels more authentic, balanced, and fulfilling.

Robin Okun
Therapist, LICSW
Real growth doesn't require a commute; it happens when you feel safe enough to put down the weight you've been carrying. As a remote clinician, I maintain a private space where busy women can step away from daily demands and focus entirely on themselves.
My approach goes beyond surface-level advice. As both a clinician, a parent, and someone who has experienced therapy firsthand, I know how deeply that fit matters. Together, we’ll untangle self-doubt, address the impact of past experiences, and help you tune into your body's signals. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, giving you practical strategies to navigate life's challenges and foster genuine ease.

Kerline Theodore
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
From the outside, life may look successful, but internally you may feel overwhelmed, burned out, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in cycles of overthinking and self-doubt. Through a trauma-informed, evidence-based approach (CBT, DBT, and EMDR), I help clients break free from patterns of stress and perfectionism so they can feel more grounded, confident, and in control of their lives.

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.
