Waitlist for new clients
Change. Ultimately, that’s what it’s all about and the question is how do we make it happen for you? There’s a part of you actively seeking an answer right now, and this part is likely one that has helped you through challenges before. First and foremost, it’s often a good idea to take a moment and see if you can tap into some curiosity and maybe even a little gratitude toward this part of yourself. It’s supporting the effort to find balance and face whatever emotions are causing you to feel uncomfortable right now. This gesture may help center your mind (and body) as you prioritize your mental wellness.

As a therapist, I can provide a safe environment that is free from judgement; listen to clients with compassion and understanding and be an objective person for you to talk with. I tend to suggest strategies or coping skills that may be effective for your personal situation; help you assess the skills to determine if they were effective and work with you to refine the skills or try another approach. It is my goal for you to feel better and to reach your personal goals.

Sleep or Insomnia Therapists

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.
