About
Based in Northbrook, IL, Dr. Sawyer specializes in trauma and PTSD, marital and premarital, and men's issues. He uses an integrated approach, combining psychodynamic therapy, trauma-informed cognitive behavioral and neuroscientific approaches, mindfulness, self-compassion, Buddhist psychology, liberation psychology, attachment-based work, and depth-oriented approaches to healing. Dr. Sawyer's goal is to help clients understand the deeper structure beneath their symptoms, enabling them to create lasting change. He works with individuals dealing with anxiety, burnout, depression, trauma, or relationship pain, and those seeking to understand and address deeper patterns shaped by childhood environments, attachment wounds, chronic shame, identity pressures, or ways of surviving that no longer fit who they are becoming.
