Denny L. Peck (born September 13, 1949) is known nationally in America as an Arizona licensed psychologist and the acclaimed former Tucson radio talk show host of Man to Woman.
She is the eldest child of Malvene and the late Morton Peck (February 2010) formerly of Shaker Heights, Ohio, and Lyndhurst, Ohio and Tucson, Arizona.
Career
Peck has over 35 years of experience beginning in 1974 in stress-pain-management, counseling, testing and evaluations. In mid-1970, Peck was one of the first individuals in Tucson, 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 1970s she worked as a biofeedback technician and attended working seminars with leading professionals throughout the USA 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).

Peck worked with heroin, cocaine and alcohol abusers and those diagnosed with mental illness from 1979 through 1986. Concurrently, Peck worked with physicians and attorneys providing services to individuals with non-operable pain or failed surgical pain. 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.
