About Us
Dr. Dyani Saxby Background
I graduated from Spring Hill High School in the mid-nineties. My teachers were my inspiration to find a way to help others. I became a health psychologist because I love seeing my clients from all backgrounds thrive. My values are based in empathy, honesty, integrity, and trust. Regardless of my clinical training, I firmly believe you are the expert of you. I am only here to help guide with your permission.
I graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 2011 with a Ph.D. in psychology. I completed an American Psychological Association accredited internship at Wayne State University’s School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences. I completed a clinical fellowship at Marquette University’s Counseling Center. I have been a licensed clinical psychologist for 12 years helping patients improve their sleep, mental, and physical health.
I am board certified in clinical health psychology and a fellow of the American Academy of Clinical Health Psychology. As a board-certified clinical health psychologist, I have been awarded the highest level of competency in clinical health psychology. I also hold the diplomate in behavioral sleep medicine and am the first provider in the state of Tennessee to hold both of these certifications.
In addition to my clinical training and certifications, I was raised immersed in indigenous healing practices. As a result, I have always been drawn toward holistic ways of healing and helping others. These experiences inspire my current practice.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Cincinnati (UC) spending much of my time working as a research assistant. I then worked as the lab manager for the Alcohol and Anxiety laboratory at UC for two years. I completed my master’s and doctoral degrees in clinical psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
During my graduate training, I worked as a research assistant for the Brain Lab focusing on investigating the impact of substance use on emerging adult brain health and cognition. I completed internship at the Milwaukee VA Medical hospital focusing in areas of trauma and neuropsychology, as well as minor rotations in spinal cord rehabilitation, poly trauma, and geriatric psychology. I completed a two-year clinical psychology fellowship for Henry Ford Hospital.
My wife and I have a strong calling to help people live healthier lives no matter what they have been through. I am so happy you found Red Deer Sleep and Health Psychology and look forward to exploring how we can work together.
