I have worked with a wide range of clients from persons trying to reintegrate into society after federal incarceration, loved ones dealing with grief, families who are struggling because of internal conflict, relationship challenges, or behavioral issues with a child. So long as the person I treat wants to work towards changing the issue I believe that I can help in guiding them towards healing and a solution.
I practice from the positive psychology model. In a world that has trained you to recognize the negatives quickly, working with me you will learn how to emphasize the positives in your life. I am a strength builder and work under the understanding that I am here to teach and advise and not to fix because this is what you will do when working with me.
I am always open to helping others through multiple counseling modalities. I believe that listening is the key and then setting the goal should be next. If you have an issue then speaking to me about it will definitely be well worth your time. All of the therapists of GENNEW are approachable.

Hi I'm Chris! I obtained my master's degree in Counseling and School Psychology from Rhode Island College. I am licensed to practice psychotherapy independently as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). 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 through 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 underserved group and provide a constant reminder that even people of color need 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.
My name is Cindy Jean-Georges. I obtained my bachelors degree in psychology from the University of Rhode Island with a degree in Psychology and my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Johnson & Wales University. 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.

Hi, I’m Leanne. I’m currently pursuing my second master’s degree at the University of Massachusetts Boston in the Mental Health Counseling program. My path into counseling really grew out of my work as an academic advisor, where I spent years supporting students through both academic and personal challenges. Over time, I noticed more and more students opening up about what they were going through in their lives, and it made me curious about how I could support them on a deeper level. That curiosity is what led me to counseling.
I’m especially interested in working with couples and families, athletes, individuals navigating substance use, and prenatal and postpartum moms. I enjoy supporting people through life transitions and creating a space where they feel comfortable being real, heard, and understood.
Fun fact about me is I used to DJ, and music is still a big part of who I am. I love how it can bring up memories, shift moods, and connect people—it’s something I naturally carry into how I relate to others.
I’d describe myself as warm, down-to-earth, and honest. In our work together, I value transparency and openness. Therapy with me is a collaborative process, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you navigate your journey.
I am Dariana Quinones, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I obtained my Masters in Clinical Social Work at University of New England in 2018. I also have a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International. I have experience working with clients of many populations from a diverse set of backgrounds.
As a Spanish / English bilingual clinician I hope to create a safe space where you can explore and address mental health issues, trauma related symptoms and perinatal mental health needs. I look forward to collaborating with you on navigating life challenges and finding your essence.
I am a seasoned social worker with a Master's degree in Social Work from Boston College. Additionally, I hold a certificate in Maternal and Child Health from Boston University. I have over thirty years of experience providing social work services in the state of Massachusetts. I work with both adult and youth clients. Much of my work revolves around empowering clients to leverage their strengths for problem-solving, mood enhancement, and the pursuit of their goals. I deliver treatment centered on trauma, PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress management, substance use, and grief and loss. I also conducted parenting groups, which aimed at empowering parents to fulfill their parental responsibilities. My therapeutic approach involves establishing a collaborative rapport with clients to facilitate healing, enhance communication skills, nurture self-worth, self- esteem, and instill the confidence to confront life's challenges.
I particularly find satisfaction in working with youths and their parents. I do not subscribe to a "one-size-fits-all" approach to treatment. Instead, I tailor treatment to match individual preferences and needs effectively.

Hi, I’m Liz—a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Boston, where I was born and raised. I bring a person-centered, compassionate approach to therapy, supporting adults and couples as they navigate challenges related to communication, anxiety, trauma, and mindfulness.
In addition to my private practice, I work full-time as a middle school social worker, where I witness every day how essential mental wellness is to our growth—at every age. As a mother of three daughters and a lifelong Bostonian, I’m deeply committed to uplifting and empowering communities of color. I strive to create a welcoming space where clients feel safe, seen, and supported.
My goal is to help people understand that mental health is just as vital as physical health—and that healing is possible when we feel truly heard. Whether you're working on strengthening your relationships, finding balance, or processing past experiences, I’m here to walk alongside you.
Let’s work together to build a life rooted in connection, clarity, and care"
Dr. Ellie earned her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from William James College. Her experience spans both individual and group therapy, and she believes that meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, collaboration, and authenticity. Rather than relying on a single therapeutic orientation, Ellie believes that every individual is unique and tailors her approach to best meet each person's goals, strengths, and needs. She draws from a variety of evidence-based modalities, with particular experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Relational-Cultural Therapy. She has a special interest in working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, identity development, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
Throughout her career, Ellie has had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and socioeconomic experiences. She completed her doctoral internship at Wellesley College, where she discovered a passion for helping young adults develop a stronger sense of self, build confidence in their identities, and navigate the opportunities and challenges that accompany new chapters in life. She is also passionate about supporting individuals within the LGBTQ+ community by providing an affirming, inclusive, and compassionate therapeutic environment. Prior to her doctoral training, Ellie spent several years developing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) skills while working with youth diagnosed across the autism spectrum.
Raised in Miami, Florida, Ellie credits the city's rich cultural diversity with shaping her appreciation for working with people from all walks of life. Outside of work, she enjoys reading a good book, attending concerts, and belting out her favorite musical theater soundtracks.
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.
Hello! I’m Melissa, and I’m currently a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology at the University of Hartford. Initially, I was drawn to this field through intellectual curiosity and academic interest. Learning about the human experience has only furthered my beliefs that meaningful growth and change are not only possible, but probable, and that every person deserves thoughtful care and support in achieving their goals.
I approach therapy in an individualized and strengths-based manner and utilize evidence-based practices. This primarily includes acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I have worked with individuals from early adolescence to older adulthood, although primarily adults, and I have a particular interest in supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
Others describe me as friendly, authentic, and empathetic! In my free time, I love spending time with my cat and friends, attending concerts, and being outdoors. I truly feel it is the honor of my life to walk alongside individuals and hold their emotions, thoughts, life experiences, and trauma with them and guide them in their healing, insight, and growth. I look forward to meeting you!
I completed the Mental Health Counseling program at Cambridge College, where I earned my Master of Education. I also hold a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Counseling. I chose counseling because I believe people deserve a safe, supportive space where they can feel seen, gain clarity, heal, and become more fully themselves.
I am especially interested in working with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, major life transitions, relationship challenges, emotional dysregulation, identity concerns, and spiritual or personal growth. My approach recognizes the whole person—not only the symptoms or circumstances that brought someone to therapy.
An interesting fact about me is that I am also an ordained minister, educator, life coach, and founder of a healing-centered organization. My own life experiences have taught me the importance of resilience, self-awareness, faith, and learning how to respond intentionally rather than simply react. These lessons allow me to connect with clients from a place that is both professionally informed and genuinely human.
My personality can be summarized as warm, compassionate, grounded, intuitive, honest, and encouraging—with a healthy sense of humor. Clients will get the most from therapy with me by coming with openness, honesty, curiosity, and a willingness to actively participate in their growth, both during sessions and in their everyday lives.
I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Rhode Island College, specializing in clinical social work, mental health counseling, and substance use treatment. My path to becoming a therapist was driven by a desire to help others navigate life’s challenges and discover their capacity for healing.
I specialize in working with adults facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, and substance use. I am particularly passionate about supporting those who feel stuck or overwhelmed. In addition to my clinical training, my work is informed by my background as a published poet, writer, and ordained minister, as well as personal experiences that have reinforced my belief in hope and resilience.
Clients often describe my style as warm, genuine, and down-to-earth. I strive to create a non-judgmental environment where the therapeutic relationship serves as a foundation for growth. I view therapy as a collaborative journey and encourage clients to engage with honesty and curiosity as we work toward their specific goals.
Whether you are navigating a difficult season or seeking personal growth, it would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey.
I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling from Grand Canyon University and have dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, support, and understanding. My professional background includes grief and bereavement counseling, as well as working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, addiction and self-esteem challenges.

I am passionate about helping people recognize their strengths, build resilience, and move toward meaningful growth and healing. I especially enjoy working with adults who are navigating grief and loss, anxiety, major life changes, and relationship challenges.
Outside of counseling, you’ll often find me planning parties and special events, trying new recipes in the kitchen, or snuggling with my dog while catching up on anything Bravo-related. I believe that connection, laughter, and finding joy in everyday moments can be important parts of overall well-being.
My personality is warm, genuine, and down-to-earth. I strive to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental environment where clients can be themselves and feel supported throughout their therapeutic journey.
To get the most out of therapy with me, I encourage clients to come as they are. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting. Being open, honest, and willing to explore both challenges and strengths allows us to build a collaborative relationship and create lasting growth together.
