Broderick Sawyer, PhD is a teacher, activist, and psychologist. Broderick has personally struggled with mental illness for most of his life, which was his motivation for seeking a degree in clinical psychology. While Broderick has engaged in traditional therapy on his own healing journey, he has gained much more from holistic healing practices, and often integrates holistic healing into his practice of therapy. In his professional role as a therapist, he treats trauma, anxiety, depression, and race-based stress and trauma. Broderick uses a blend of mindfulness and compassion-based treatments when working with patients.
