Do you miss your real self? Did you used to be more lighthearted, less discouraged? Maybe you’ve experienced loss or trauma. Perhaps you hate your job or lack community and feel as if you’re stuck and simply going through the motions. We feel uneasy when we lose touch with our authentic self. We can become anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or even numb. It's hard to make decisions and trust yourself. You've tried everything you can think of to address this on your own. Maybe you are reading this right now because it's clear that you can't do this alone anymore.

We often experience the most conflict with those to whom we are closest. This can cause strain and disconnect in our most valued relationships. While this can cause strain at any time, it can be especially prominent during pregnancy and the first few years after children are born.

Individual, couples, and family therapy can help you reconnect with others, deepen and strengthen your ability to support and nurture your relationships, and your children.

Connection is a human need. Connection can also be difficult when we have been hurt. We may judge ourselves harshly & feel like we are not good enough. This messaging can become a part of us & impact how we see ourselves & the world. This can be especially true if we have experienced oppression by the dominant culture because of our identities. In our therapy together, we will work to dismantle these messages & rediscover your innate strengths, power, & self love. Here, LGBTQ+ communities, people with disabilities, & our allies ages 18 to 108 will find safety, community & a non-judgmental space to explore and connect to your truth.

I'm William Venturelli and I run Atma Counseling. Do you feel like you can't truly be yourself? Do you feel like something is holding you back? I can help you gain a better understanding of the "why's" in your life. Have you ever asked yourself "why do I keep doing that?" "why am I like this?" or "why do I feel this way?" We can explore these themes and more in a way that honors your uniqueness and without any judgment. Your counseling experience here will not be rigid or preconceived, instead, it will be a process of discovery where you will begin to live with more choice, courage and freedom. It's time to rediscover yourself.
