An interesting fact about me is my love for music—it’s something that always uplifts and inspires me. I’m also passionate about fashion and enjoy exploring how personal style can be a form of self-expression. My personality can be summarized as shy but curious, with a humble approach to life. To get the most out of therapy with me, a client should come with an open mind and a willingness to explore their thoughts and feelings honestly.

I'm Drew Osei, currently finishing my Master's degree in the Mental Health Counseling program at UMass Boston while working with GENNEW. Counseling helps individuals build resilience, mental strength, and achieve their desired life in response to challenges. Guiding clients and witnessing their growth is a profound privilege.

I also have an interest in supporting professionals in high-pressure environments, such as those in the performing arts, military, and first responders.

My background as a male from an inner-city background, with experience in corporate and government settings, and as a former collegiate athlete, husband, and father, has taught me the importance of prioritizing personal needs. These diverse experiences have provided me with a strong sense of empathy, which I aim to use in supporting others. Client-driven desire is the foundation for growth and change.

I am currently pursuing a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study (CAGS) in Advanced Counseling at Rhode Island College. My passion for counseling stems from a desire to holistically support clients through life's transitions and challenges, considering their personal, spiritual, and professional identities.

I am particularly drawn to clients who are motivated to enact meaningful change and are prepared to challenge themselves. I believe personal growth often arises from embracing discomfort with courage.

Outside of my studies, I have a lifelong fascination with meteorology and trains, which are significant aspects of my identity. I even provide weather reports to friends as a "side hustle meteorologist." My musical tastes are diverse, ranging from Taylor Swift to The Killers. A fun fact: I was once interviewed on the news for taking my first cruise during a hurricane, which highlights my love for travel.

Clients I have worked with often describe me as empathetic, humorous, patient, and approachable. In our collaborative work, I encourage vulnerability, trust-building, self-advocacy, and openness to new challenges.

Christopher Blanco-Ramos, LMHC-A

Hybrid Clinician
In PERSON ON: Mondays

Hi I'm Chris! I obtained my masters degree for Counseling and School Psychology from Rhode Island College. Counseling has always been a focal point in his life from supporting family members with mental health issues to exploring techniques best suited for self-regulation. My introduction to counseling came way of working at psychiatric hospitals, working closely with adolescents. Empathy is a major trait I holds sacred as one cannot connect with a client if one does not understand the pain the client is going through and ensuring a safe therapeutic relationship is the first step towards healing.

Being an Afro-Latino male allows me to connect with a historically underserviced group and provide a constant reminder that even people of color needs to be privy to mental health and coming from an underprivileged environment we need to heal. Where many of our clients come from there is trauma that is celebrated, by being a representation of a person of color who advocates for mental health we can learn to unpack our trauma and unlearn our negative coping skills. I was always told to be the change that I want to see. Providing therapy to people of all walks of life has helped me to realize that mission in the daily work that I do.

I have a love for music that translates into the therapy sessions. I believe I do best with clients who are open to communicate and who are courageuos enough to let their artistic energy flow inside of sessions with me.

I have worked with clients in underserved communities in multiple capacities. I have a background in In-Home Therapy, so getting to know how a family is working from the inside out is something that comes natural to me. I am flexible, professional, and supportive for the clients that I serve. I have worked with many populations, consisting of various cultures, ages, and overall walks of life.

My goal in therapy is to create a safe space for my clients where I can meet them where they are. The ability to conduct therapy in both english and Haitian creole is a plus for the clients I service in case they feel more comfortable using their native language. Being able to focus, but also laugh at some of the issues we face is very important to me. While there is no specific focus on any population I believe that makes it easier for me to work with any client as theres a greater chance of success. I will do the work to get to know the person before the problem. Clients who seem to do well with me are those who do not have to be convinces that there are issues present. If you are ready to do the work, then I am willing to assist in guiding you to better health.

Sofia Greenfield

Telehealth Clinician
VIRTUAL: Fridays

I am a graduate student at William James College in the clinical psychology PsyD program. I choose to counsel other because I enjoy hearing other people's stories and believe in the importance of mental health care. I want people feel heard and validated and help them through whatever challenges they are facing in whatever stage of life that they are in. I believe that mental health care is important in all stages of life and is a continuous journey. I would love to provide care to people of all ages with a wide range of diagnoses but am particularly interested in working with adults.

In my free time I enjoy rock climbing, hiking, skiing, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. I have a love for animals and have a pet Betta fish and someday hope to adopt a dog. I would describe my personality as someone who is curious, open-minded, detail oriented and is always open to learning something new. To get the most out of therapy with me a client should come to session as their true self, come with an open-mind and be willing to be honest and vulnerable. I understand that not everyone is ready for this, so I try my best to meet my clients where they are and be considerate of different needs, values, and identities.
