Dessirae Boulware, PsyD
Founder + Licensed Psychologist
Grief isn’t always visible and it isn’t always understood, but that doesn’t make it any less real.
Loss takes many forms and can affect people in layered, emotionally complex ways.
This is a supportive space to explore your grief, move through life’s changes, and gently reconnect with parts of yourself that may feel distant or lost.
Schedule a consultation to see if this could be the right fit for you.
About Me
I’m Dr. Dessirae Boulware, a licensed psychologist specializing in grief and trauma. For over a decade, I’ve worked at the intersection of clinical expertise and compassionate care, helping people move through some of life’s most difficult experiences.
My approach is grief informed, trauma responsive, and culturally aware. It is designed to hold emotional complexity without rushing to resolve it.
What sets my work apart is the ability to recognize and treat layered emotional pain in people who seem to be functioning outwardly, but are internally navigating exhaustion, numbness, or unprocessed grief. I provide care that honors your lived experience and creates space for clarity, steadiness, and meaningful change.
Thrive in Wellness was created for those who are tired of surviving in silence. If you have been carrying emotional weight that others cannot see or feel disconnected from who you once were, this space was created with you in mind.
My Approach
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your experiences, challenges, and strengths are unique, and your healing journey should be too.
I take a personalized approach, integrating evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strengths-Based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Trauma-Informed Care, all tailored to what works best for you.
You deserve a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported.
Together, we’ll create a meaningful, collaborative relationship that fosters self-discovery, personal growth, and the tools you need to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.
Healing isn’t just about getting through the tough moments. It’s about growing, rediscovering yourself, and finding the strength to move forward in a way that feels right for you.
It would be an honor to be part of your journey.
