Who is Dr. Broderick Sawyer?

Originally a college basketball player from a small Connecticut city on the edge of NYC, I now live in Chicago, providing consultation, immersive speaking services, and serve as the Director of Clinical Training for a clinical psychology PhD program.

An expert in liberation psychology, mindfulness, compassion-based neuroscience, and cultural competence, I also have a 10-year Buddhist practice which heavily informs my depth of knowledge and recommendations. Receiving my doctorate in 2018, I’ve quickly established myself as an active contributor to the mental health field, amassing more than 250 speaking and training engagements, and producing nearly 20 peer-reviewed publications. I’m also routinely invited as a guest contributor for media outlets, most notably having several guest interviews with CNN.

Along with my faculty appointment at Loyola University Chicago serving as the clinical psychology PhD program Director, I also hold a visiting faculty appointment at the Nalanda Institute of Contemplative Science in NYC, lecturing on the integration of Eastern psychology, social activism, and emotional sustainability in changemaking.
