Meet Dr. Dessirae Boulware
Dessirae Boulware, PsyD is a licensed psychologist based in Houston, Texas, whose practice focuses on independent psychological evaluations for work and disability determinations. She specializes in psychological Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs), VA disability evaluations and nexus letters, FMLA and disability documentation, fitness‑for‑duty evaluations, and ADHD testing. Her evaluations are designed to answer specific referral questions and provide clear, defensible opinions about diagnosis, functional impairment, and work‑related capacity.
Dr. Boulware completed her doctorate in Clinical Community Psychology at the APA‑accredited University of La Verne program and an APA‑accredited doctoral internship at Centerstone Consortium, which included a forensic‑focused psychological testing rotation. She subsequently completed an APA‑ and APPIC‑accredited postdoctoral fellowship in health psychology at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center. With more than a decade of clinical experience, Dr. Boulware applies specialized expertise in psychological assessment, diagnostic clarification, and functional analysis to complex psychological evaluations.
Her background includes providing psychotherapy to adults experiencing work‑related stress, trauma, and burnout, which further informs her understanding of occupational functioning and real‑world job demands. This experience helps her translate clinical findings into practical opinions about restrictions, accommodations, and risk in the workplace.
Each psychological evaluation is tailored to the referral question and may include comprehensive record review, a structured clinical interview, and standardized testing. Findings are linked to documented evidence and presented in a clear written report designed to support clinical, occupational, or administrative decision-making. Evaluations are conducted in accordance with established professional and ethical guidelines.
Dr. Boulware uses a structured, transparent process from referral through report delivery, with clear communication at each stage. Evaluations are available in person at her Houston office and via telehealth nationwide.
