​​You've been experiencing sexual issues recently or maybe even for some time. You may be experiencing erectile difficulties or pain during sex. You’ve tried everything you’ve found on the internet but still, it's not working the way you want. It's frustrating, isolating, infuriating, and confusing. It may even be difficult to remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. But now, you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to break the pattern and have your body and brain on the same page. You're ready for a more fulfilled sex life. And most of all, you’re ready to feel more connected in your sexuality!

There are many aspects of life that pull us away from our authentic selves. You might be feeling lost, confused, or disconnected and hoping to find a way to connect with yourself and others, but not sure how or where to start. Many of us are motivated to explore our identities and life purpose, especially during times of change and transition, and that can be a scary journey. Individual, relationship, and group counseling are great opportunities to allow yourself to actively take a step toward connection and fulfillment.

I specialize in imposter syndrome and anxiety in academics, public service workers, and people in creative careers who are ready to stop measuring themselves by a flawed standard. I also work with people navigating anxiety in relationships- patterns of anxious/avoidant attachment, fear of intimacy, or relationship structures that fall outside the mainstream, including ethical non-monogamy. I also believe in the importance of equitable access to quality mental health care and have often worked with individuals who are new to therapy or have previously had negative experiences with mental health providers.

Feeling stuck in a cycle with alcohol or substances — not necessarily in crisis, but aware something needs to change. Are you carrying the weight of stress, trauma, or emotional pain that substances have become a way to cope. Tired of feeling ashamed, overwhelmed, or like you're “failing” at managing things alone. Struggling with relationships, boundaries, or self-worth. Are you wanting support that feels human, not clinical or judgmental?

Life can feel really hard at times—whether you’re facing the ups and downs of pregnancy or postpartum, grieving a miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss, or in need of parenting support. Maybe you’re struggling with food and body image, dealing with an eating disorder, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or ADHD. Many of the people I work with want a nonjudgmental space to share and process what they’re experiencing; they want to feel more connected to themselves and want help in making changes that bring relief and hope.

Accepting new clients! Over the past 20+ years I have accumulated a very unique and in-depth knowledge and experience into what it takes to create positive change in our lives. There is no set way that works for everyone, and improvement is more likely when there is a willingness to engage in a process, to consider other perspectives alongside of our own, and to courageously seek assistance, all cornerstones to positive change. Ultimately, what we think can help lead us to what we become. For more specific detail please visit my website at www.dpetrocelli.org to learn more about my experience and the services I provide.

Woodstock, VT 05091
My ideal client is ready to explore how early attachment, trauma, and unconscious patterns shape the ways they show up in relationships. Through the lens of relational neuroscience, we recognize that many of our behaviors and patterns are not conscious choices but echoes of implicit memory—early, body-based experiences that continue to drive how we behave. My clients long for meaningful relationships where they feel safe and connected, where they don’t abandon themselves or repeat co-dependent dynamics. They want not just tools, but transformation: a felt shift in how they move through the world and in their closest bonds.
