Trauma-Informed & Identity-Affirming Care
Thrive Within Therapy is a mental health practice based in Binghamton, NY, built for people who've struggled to find care that actually sees them. We work with people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and clients across Broome County carrying complex trauma, burnout, and the weight of systemic stress.
Our clients are looking for something specific: a therapist who understands their identity and background without needing it explained first. That's who we serve, and that's who we built this practice for.
Who We Serve
Identity-affirming care, built for your community.
Communities of Color
Four diverse Black friends pose closely together, smiling warmly at the camera in colorful clothing, conveying joy, friendship, and connection.
Complex Trauma & Burnout
Support for individuals facing systemic stress, burnout, and navigating the layered emotional weight of complex trauma histories.
LGBTQ+ Individuals
Identity-affirming support, including nationally recognized expertise in trans healthcare navigation, for the full spectrum of the LGBTQ+ community.
Begin
Healing happens in connection, not isolation.
We don't stop at coping strategies — we work with clients to understand the root causes of what's driving their distress, in a space built on cultural humility.
Root-cause focused. We look beneath the surface, addressing what's underneath the distress rather than only its symptoms.
Culturally humble. Care shaped by cultural understanding and lived experience, not a one-size-fits-all model.
Relational. We believe healing happens in connection — with your therapist, your community, and yourself.
Trained & supervised. Our clinicians are invested in training the next generation of culturally responsive therapists too.

What Sets Us Apart
What sets Thrive Within Therapy apart is depth — we don't stop at coping strategies, we work with clients to understand the root causes of what's driving their distress.
Lived understanding, not just clinical training
Our clinicians understand your intersections firsthand, not just clinically.
Award-winning, community-organizing clinicians
Deep cultural humility serving communities of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and clients navigating complex trauma and identity-based struggles.
Investment beyond the therapy room
We train and educate other clinicians, so culturally responsive, trauma-informed care extends further than our own client list.
Two Clinicians, One Shared Vision
Thrive Within Therapy began in 2022 as a partnership between Shanel Boyce, LCSW, LPN, and Roseanne Wilcox, LCSW, two clinicians who saw a gap in mental health care for marginalized communities in the Southern Tier. Their shared commitment to cultural humility shaped a practice built around depth rather than quick fixes.
What started as a partnership has grown into a group practice with a mission bigger than client care alone. Thrive Within Therapy is equally invested in training and educating the next generation of clinicians, extending culturally responsive, trauma-informed care well beyond our own client list.

We provide culturally responsive, identity-affirming care.
Individual & Group Counseling
Sessions tailored to where you are in your healing, one-on-one or alongside others who understand your experience.
