Therapists in Louisville, KY

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 provide specialized OCD treatment without exposure techniques and I enjoy working with individuals and couples struggling with trauma, perfectionism, and overwork and overwhelm. I take pride in aiding individuals who may seem outwardly confident but struggle with anxiety, as well as those who identify as neurodivergent (i.e., autism, ADHD). My focus lies in addressing the impacts of shame, self-criticism, and trust issues. I believe understanding our complex emotions leads to personal growth and opens up new experiences in compassion for ourselves and others.

I have many years of experience working with early childhood trauma and severe, persistent mental illness, varying from ages of 5 years to 70+.

I work through an Existential foundation, to help those I work with seek meaning and purpose, with skills built from experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy, all within the context of a trauma-informed approach.

Change can be frightening and growth that results from changes in our life or sadly a crisis can be challenging or debilitating. Relationships at home and work maybe urging you to make changes. Perhaps you’ve found that everything has changed, moved on or away and that has caused a crisis, pain or an imbalance in your life. What you’ve used to cope with in the past to manage sorrow, dispair, stress, anxiety, grief or the unfinished business in your life your work and relationships may not be working for you any longer. Life is urging you to do things differently and make those changes that this process can help and heal.

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."
