Career

A nationally known psychologist and former acclaimed Tucson, Arizona radio talk show host of “Man to Woman” with over 35 years of experience in stress-pain-management, counseling, testing and evaluations. Dr. Peck in mid-1970 was one of the first individuals in Tucson, Arizona with her late-business partner Dr. Bob Johnson to be trained in biofeedback at the University of Denver Medical School and in clinical hypnosis through the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis at the University of Chicago.

While attending the University of Arizona in the 1970’s she worked as a biofeedback technician and attended working seminars with leading professionals throughout the country in all aspects of stress management. This included: Edmund Jacobson (progressive relaxation); Hans Selye (coined the term ‘stress’); Barbara Brown (The Art of Biofeedback); and O. Carl Simonton (guided imagery). She trained with Wilbur Fordyce, Ph.D. who originally developed the model for psychologists to supervise and co-ordinate pain units in hospitals in the United States.

Her private practice in conjunction with Dr. Johnson (from 1973-2006) and the late Dr. Thomas McCabe (from 1988-2008), focused on stress management and added specialties beginning in 1979 to coordinating and providing services to Federal Probation/Parole substance abusers as the first non-drug clinic to provide services to probationers and parolees in Tucson, Arizona. Dr Peck worked with heroin, cocaine and alcohol abusers and those diagnosed with mental illness from 1979 through 1986. Concurrently, Dr. Peck worked with physicians and attorneys providing services to individuals with non-operable pain or failed surgical pain. Dr. Peck utilized her successful experience with a difficult population of offenders to segue her current practice to address pain/substance abuse concerns that relate to social relationships and occupational concerns.

As a licensed psychologist and President of PBSI Behavioral Health Clinic, Tucson, Arizona, Dr. Peck has utilized her counseling and psychometric/statistical educational background from her master’s and doctoral degrees from the University of Arizona to currently specialize in relationship counseling, disability evaluations and providing seminars throughout the U.S. on relationship issues. She is currently completing her first book “Dr. Denny’s Laws”—her premises developed over the last thirty-five years to ensure success through personal responsibility in relationships and in life.
