My philosophy is that you are the expert when it comes to your life. I will listen to what your concerns are and what the goals are that you want to achieve. Then, I will choose a model of therapy that best meets your desired outcome.

I provide individual therapy emphasizing strengths-based, client-centered, and trauma informed approaches for diverse populations, including LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. I generally practice from a relational lens and integrate evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution-focused brief therapy, and internal family systems (IFS). I also like to incorporate community resources and collaborate with natural supports.

I enjoy getting to know who people are separate from any type of diagnosis they may have received or problems they are currently experiencing. Thus I take a strengths-based approach to my work, meaning that I help you identify positive qualities and abilities you already possess in order to guide you in using those same assets and capabilities to manage intense emotions, improve your self-esteem, and reduce unhealthy behaviors.

I’m proud to live at the intersection of queer, transgender, Filipinx, and polyamorous experiences. As your therapist, I build on our overlapping or shared experiences as much as I welcome people from all walks of life. I facilitate a space for LGBTQ+, gender-expansive, neurodivergent, and consensually non-monogamous folks exploring their identities, emotion management, difficulties in interpersonal dynamics, and being an agent of change. I am excited to work with people of all genders, gender expressions, and sexual orientations. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and somatic perspectives to offer interventions that lead to insights and improve quality of life with a deepened connection to your senses. I encourage new and existing behaviors that help you be your personal best. Your story is yours to write, and I am looking forward to working with you on your next chapter.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who works with teens and adults. I earned her Bachelor’s degree at Loyola University Chicago and my Master’s of Social Work degree at Governor’s State University. I have clinical experience working in a private practice setting for the last 6 years. Previously I worked in an inpatient psychiatric setting. I specialize in working with individuals and families experiencing life transitions, relationship stress, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, struggles with worklife balance, feelings of burnout, and thought errors. I believe that it is extremely important to tailor each treatment plan to the individual with the center of my approach being warmth, empowerment, and empathy. I believe in the importance of developing the therapeutic relationship through deep listening, a little bit of humor, and building trust in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I am committed to making sure that you have a positive and empowering therapy experience to ensure that you gain the ability to live life at your optimal level of wellness.

If you find yourself facing challenges related to mood concerns, body image distress, obsessive compulsive disorders, eating disorders, trauma, identity crisis, racial & cultural trauma, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, bigotry, religious trauma, and substance use, my help and support are available to you. Focusing on the present, let us work together to make changes that will hold space for personal growth and cultivate contentment, congruence, joy, stability, forward movement, and fulfilment. Navigating life's setbacks, challenges, and adversities can absolutely take a toll on our wellbeing and ability to function, which is why it is important to know that you do not have to work through these concerns alone. I believe in the power of healing through promoting self-awareness, autonomy and empowerment, and also in people's strength to move towards change. Though suffering is a part of life, something that all humans share, working to manifest helpful and sustainable coping mechanisms, and skills that will work to serve you long term makes a difference in the quality of life a person experiences. I work from a Health at Every Size (HAES) and humanist framework, observing individuals as a whole, and when it comes to the war against body discrimination and terrorism, I believe in working to enhance radical acceptance through promoting self-contentment, end weight discrimination by identifying the underlying and overlying systems of oppression, dismantling those systems, and working against the cultural obsession with diet culture, and the pursuit of thinness and perfection. I believe in concepts such as radical self-love, self-trust, self-awareness, radical-acceptance, freedom, agency, self-compassion, and self-actualization to help guide individuals to fulfill their potential and maximize their wellbeing. I utilizes a variety of evidence-based therapies including the Person Centered approach to foster the trust building process and increase client autonomy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), Narrative Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

As a bilingual therapist who is proficient in both English and Spanish, my dedication lies in guiding you towards happiness and recovery.

With several years of experience working across multiple levels of care, including both private practice and inpatient care, I am well-equipped to assist you in your journey towards better mental health.

Life is about relationships. It is within the safety of the therapeutic relationship that change and growth occurs. I utilize an authentic, easy-going and friendly approach to foster relationships to self and others. Individuals and families from 3 to 103 are warmly welcomed to work with me! Clients will be met where they are. I will work with you to collaboratively develop a tailor-made treatment plan that is as individual as you are. I draw on over 25 years of experience as a therapist to help guide you toward growth and resilience.

The issues I work naturally with are ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Divorce, Emotional-dysregulation, Griefloss, OCD, oppositional and disruptive behaviors, Self-esteem, Stress and Trauma. Therapy may be challenging, but not boring. Creativity is mixed into treatment where it applies via art, books, guided- imagery, music, poetry, play and role-plays. All topics are invited to be part of the conversation.

I provide online therapy and work with clients and couples ready to combine self-awareness with practical, solution-focused steps. You may be navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity concerns, or stress, and you’re seeking clarity: Who am I really, and how do I start living like it? You’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and begin healing at the root—building self-trust, mindfulness, and a life aligned with your core values, rather than society’s expectations. In addition to psychotherapy, I also provide assessments. I blend mindfulness, psychodynamic approaches, depth psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and liberation psychology. Our work will feel focused yet spacious, balancing insight with practical, actionable steps you can take in between sessions to heal in and out of session. You'll gain coping tools, shift behavior, and reconnect with your value system. Sessions are warm, direct, and built around your lived experience. Ultimately, my aim is to help people slow down, see clearly, and create meaningful change grounded in what “is.” Leaning on years of training and a diversity of theoretical approaches, we’ll build clarity, confidence, and control. With plenty of experience training other therapists and a decade-long Buddhist practice, I bring clinical depth and deep presence. For more on my background, I highly recommend going to my website: Brodericksawyer.com. My diverse clinical training is only a part of what I offer clients, as my diverse lived experiences as a person of color, college athlete, and 10-year Buddhist practitioner all inform my perspectives on doing, being, and healing. I ultimately strive to meet clients where they’re at, providing a warm, relatable, and solution-focused experience with depth. In therapy, I help people apply a range of tools for growth, liberation, connection, self-alignment, and peace. Feel free to go to my website to learn more. I look forward to connecting!

I offer therapy that helps you move forward. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, navigating the everyday challenges of relationships, or searching for a more authentic and fulfilling life, we work together to uncover the beliefs and emotions driving your struggles - and then use your unique strengths to create lasting change. My evidence-based approach helps you clarify your goals and values, strengthen your “inner operating system,” and build a way of living that feels more resilient, joyful, and true to who you are. I hold a master’s in mental health counseling from National Louis University and have completed advanced training at the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago, one of the few institutes in the U.S. accredited by the ABAP, the gold standard of therapy education. I love therapy because, for me, it’s a way to support you as you figure out what’s really and truly important to you. Essentially, we get to cut through the noise to find your life philosophy - and then together we figure out how you can live it. I work at Archive, a company dedicated to raising standards in therapy. We bring together rigorously trained professionals and provide therapy that is thoughtful, structured, and focused on lasting impact. Based on the idea that ‘you can only help someone as far as you have gone yourself,’ my colleagues and I seek to be on our own journey of growth, learning from great psychologists and great literature to bring perspective to our clients. At Archive, we believe that therapy is one of the most meaningful investments you can make in yourself.

For 23 years I served Northwestern University undergraduate and graduate students in the University Counseling Center initially as Staff psychologist and liaison to the Department of Athletics and then as Director of Clinical Services. In addition, I co-instruct a for credit course at Northwestern titled Emotional Intelligence 101: Managing Yourself and Maximizing Your Potential. The course material mirrors the work we do in therapy. We seek healthy stress management, self-perception, self-expression, interpersonal effectiveness, and decision makingconflict management using the themes of intentional attention, accurate awareness, and healthy connection. We direct these themes toward the present moment, ourselves, and others. I believe when we own and intentionally direct our attention and feel in alignment with who we want to be, then we are healthier and enjoy more connected to the happiness within us. Through all the complexity in the world and in our lives, what we most want tends to be simple: Love and Work. That is, we want to feel connected to the people we care about and we want to feel productive in the world, whether that is making money, performing athletically, achieving academically, or pursuing the hobbies we enjoy.
