About Desirae Terry
Desirae Terry, LCSW, is a New York City psychotherapist and the author of the forthcoming narrative nonfiction book Good Girl, Interrupted.
She writes for women who have been praised for holding everything together and are quietly wondering what might happen if they stopped. Her work is psychologically informed and emotionally honest about breaking free from the expectations we inherit.
She lives in Manhattan with her husband and three children, who lovingly outmatch her daily. When she isn’t seeing clients in her private practice, she’s hosting friends around her table, exploring the city with her family, or playing a suspicious amount of mahjong.
