Meet Dr. Marie Desir, MD

I am a board-certified, Harvard-trained psychiatrist and psychoanalytic fellowship graduate. My practice combines extensive medical training with a deep respect for your individual story. Because I operate an independent, private-pay practice outside of insurance networks, our therapeutic relationship —the collaborative, trusting partnership we build together— remains entirely private and unhurried.

  • Medical School: MD, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine

  • Residency: Brigham and Women’s Hospital / Harvard Medical School Psychiatry Residency Program (served as Administrative Chief Resident)

  • Fellowship: Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Boston Psychoanalytic Institute (BPSI)

  • Certification: Board Certified, American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology

I believe financial constraints should not be a barrier to exceptional psychiatric care. If you feel my practice may be a good fit but have financial considerations related to my standard fee, please ask me about my structured sliding-scale program. My goal is to ensure that if we are a good fit, we can work together to help you get better.
