Dyani Saxby Ph.D., ABPP, DBSM
Board-Certified Clinical Health Psychologist
About Dyani
As a Board Certified Health Psychologist and a Diplomate in Behavioral Sleep Medicine (DBSM), my work exists at the intersection of physical illness, sleep disruption, and nervous system trauma.
Through years of clinical practice, I have learned that a distressed nervous system cannot simply be ‘thought’ into sleeping, nor can a body that has survived medical stress be expected to just snap back into balance. Standard cognitive behavioral treatments often fall short for trauma survivors because thoughts alone cannot easily override a deep, physiological survival response.
To bridge this exact gap and address the physical roots of sleep and medical traumas, I am actively pursuing my Somatic Experiencing training through Somatic Experiencing International (SEI). Having completed my first year of training (72 hours) and entered intermediate-level training, I intentionally integrate gentle, body-oriented therapy into our sessions.
By blending elite, evidence-based behavioral sleep medicine with somatic principles, we do not just target your thoughts or habits. Together, we work to safely discharge the survival stress trapped in your body, systematically calming hyperarousal so your nervous system can naturally and safely power down into deep, restorative rest. Over time, we hope you will have more moments of feeling like yourself again.
