Hello, I’m Dr. Broderick Sawyer! I treat adults and adolescents for anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, identity issues, and stress related to oppression. Overall, my approach is to help you quickly and effectively: 1) Overcome everyday stress, 2) Develop emotional intelligence, 3) Understand how your past is holding you back, 4) Develop confidence and a positive self-image to move forward in life, and 5) Create and maintain healthy relationships. Having a diverse training background, my approach blends Mindfulness, CBT, Psychodynamic, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment, and Compassion-based approaches.

I combine excellent education/training (Stanford University; U of L; Palo Alto, California VA) with intelligence, heart, wisdom, and experience (23 years) to help you overcome suffering and achieve your unique goals. I work to understand and appreciate you deeply, in all your uniqueness, even as I bring the best of my human compassion and therapeutic skill to the task of helping you. Goals in our work together can include healing emotional suffering and trauma; calming stress, anxiety, and anger; overcoming loss, depression, and break-ups; resolving couple conflicts and miscommunication; and working to clarify your deeper life path and purpose.

The foundation of my counseling approach is in a compassionate and understanding therapeutic relationship. Furthermore, I integrate the art and science of psychological treatment, and tailor treatment specifically to you. I consider your needs, strengths, and values, and collaborate with you so that you may reach your goals. My strength-based approach incorporates elements from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, experiential, and mindfulness perspectives. Much of my training has been within college aged populations, but I enjoy working with individuals of all ages. Video sessions are available.

While I specialize in parenting techniques for young children, I also enjoy working with children, teens, and adults who feel "stuck," or are having difficulty managing family and social conflicts. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a powerful agent of change, and aim to provide a warm, safe, and casual space for clients to express themselves. I work particularly well with teenage and young adult females. I also encourage creative outlets for processing emotional issues, which might include drawing, painting or any other evidenced-based expressive techniques that relieve distress.

I have worked with adult and adolescent clients in community mental health, and in private practice settings. I am part of, and feel honored to serve, members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community. I work from a feminist psychodynamic, trauma-informed and harm reduction perspective. I value the therapeutic relationship and believes it to be vital to the process of change.

Do you feel overwhelmed or overburdened by recent changes or the everyday stresses of life, parenting or your career? Have you noticed that find it hard to be present with your loved ones? Have you experienced trauma that may have a lasting impact on your ability to function in all areas of your life regardless of how hard you feel like you are working towards healing. It is my job to walk along side you and facilitate true healing, utilizing your inherent strengths, and building on those to create lasting change in your life.

I want to help you make meaningful and lasting changes in order to improve your quality of life. I enjoy working with adults who seek to deeper understand themselves and wish to gain increased self awareness. I also enjoy treating other therapists!

Hi, I'm Chelsea. My philosophy is deeply rooted into self awareness. The 6 types of basic emotion are sadness, happiness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust. Sometimes we experience the emotions but don’t have the words to describe them. Sometimes we can explain exactly how we feel but struggle to show it. Though we may not have control over the cause of our life obstacles, we have the power of choice and ultimate control over our reaction to said struggles. Knowing the 6 basic emotions and our reactions when experiencing them is the beginning of self awareness. Being self aware affects both our inter- and intrapersonal connections.

Have you been struggling with emotions that feel outside of your control? Are you having difficulties making the changes you want to make? Sometimes the tools that used to work just don't cut it anymore. I work with clients to help them take care of themselves, tolerate stress in new ways, and make changes toward the lives they want. I also serve fellow therapists who have, understandably, recognized their own need for support in unprecedented times. Where appropriate, I provide self pay Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy to help clients explore pieces of their stories they may not otherwise be able to access with talk therapy alone.

I believe that relationships are a potential source of great happiness in life. It is through our relationships past, present and future that we define ourselves. I work with clients to build healthy and rewarding relationships.

SUCCESS IS WITHIN REACH" I am gentle yet firmly persistent in helping clients find direction, making choices of right and wrong and uncovering their ability to tell reality from distortion and delusion. My clients find the counseling experience positive, insightful and intellectual which opens the doors of lasting happiness and sense of reality for them. The introspection, self examination and self actualization greatly increases their sensitivity and attitude about what is really important in human experience and opens the doors of happiness and sense of reality." My counseling approach gives clients insight to follow for greater understanding and self actualization.

Clients typically approach me when they have experienced trauma (single incident or complex, recent or past) or are experiencing concerns related to the perinatal time period. This includes anxiety, depression, miscarriage, birth trauma, infertility, guilt, and overwhelm. I work best with clients who are looking to explore the deeper root of their problems rather than only the symptoms. I also identify as Christian. I can incorporate faith into counseling upon a client's request; however, I work with clients from a variety of belief systems and only include clients' spiritual or religious beliefs when requested and appropriate.

Do you struggle with anxiety or depression, trouble sleeping, or maybe just getting through each day? Have you lost someone to suicide or suffered traumatic experiences that keep you from living a productive life? If you answered yes, then therapy may be able to help. I understand that seeking therapy takes courage, and that it is very difficult to take that first step to reach out for help. This is why I offer a free consultation to all prospective clients, so that we can have an opportunity to talk before we make a commitment to work together. I also offer a sliding fee scale, in order to make therapy as affordable as possible.

It's my passion helping people get what they want in their life and relationships. I help INDIVIDUALS make changes and overcome obstacles to get what they want in life and with the people they care about. I help COUPLES reconnect and revitalize their relationship. I work with FAMILIES to break through patterns and blocks, and begin to enjoy each other and create the home they dream of.
