Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in Halifax, NS
I assess and treat depression, anxiety, insomnia, OCD, trauma-related symptoms (e.g., PTSD, complex trauma), stress, interpersonal issues, unexplained physical symptoms (e.g., pain, fatigue), emotion dysregulation, panic, and other emotional and personality difficulties.
As you consider making changes in your life, know there is no right or wrong way to start therapy. If you aren’t sure how therapy can support you or worry your pain is too great to be helped, you don’t have to navigate this alone. Past traumas, the uncertain world we live in, and stressful situations eat away at our ability to cope and function. When people get stuck in unhelpful patterns it can interfere with them living a meaningful life. Whether you feel lost and overwhelmed or can clearly describe your problems but don’t know how to change them, I will meet you where you are and help you figure out how you wish to move forward.

Some of us feel challenged by anxiety, depression, or anger. Some by the relationships in our lives with partners, family, or in the workplace. Parenting never fails to challenge our best intentions, or we can also find ourselves repeating behaviours and ways of thinking that no longer work for us. My clients are typically active partners in change – sometimes to change those habitual behaviours or ways of thinking, sometimes to interact more effectively, sometimes to nourish personal growth, and sometimes just to clarify and explore.

How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.
Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.
Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.
What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
