Decolonized, Boutique Therapy for Professionals Who Did Everything Right and Still Feel Stuck.

I'm Shanira Griffith, LCSW, founder of Soul Wave Wellness Services, LCSW, PLLC. I'm a bilingual therapist licensed in New York, Virginia, and Utah, and I built this practice for one specific kind of person: the one who did everything right and still feels off. You're the eldest daughter who raised yourself while raising everyone else. The first-gen professional who broke through every ceiling and still can't sit still. The high achiever whose resume looks incredible but whose body holds every sacrifice it took to build it. You hit every milestone. So why does it feel like something's still missing? That's where I come in.

My practice isn't about giving you more coping strategies to push through another week. It's about understanding what living in these systems has done to your body, your spirit, and your sense of self. I blend talk therapy with mindfulness, Reiki, and somatic work because your healing isn't just in your head. It lives in the tension you carry in your shoulders, the hypervigilance you can't turn off, the exhaustion that no vacation fixes. You don't have to code-switch here. You don't have to perform. You don't have to explain why you're tired when your life looks 'fine.' This is your space to exhale.
