Welcome! I’m Dr. Broderick Sawyer, a clinical psychologist and Director of Clinical Training at Loyola University Chicago’s clinical psychology PhD program.
I specialize in helping individuals who feel stuck in cycles of stress, burnout, or unresolved trauma find practical, research-informed ways to heal and move forward. Whether you’re navigating the pressures of burnout, leadership, creative work, or activism—or carrying the weight of racial and identity-based stress—I offer tools and approaches that integrate psychology, mindfulness, and ancient liberation-based healing practices.
