Groups
Sleep Well Program
If you want better quality sleep and more of it, CBT-i (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) is the gold standard, first-line treatment. If you want to be less reliant on sleep medications, or if they aren't working consistently, this is a more natural way. Going through CBT-i in a group setting with others who truly understand what it's like to have chronic insomnia, is validating, reduces isolation, and increases accountability. If you aren't able to attend the group for personal preference or time conflict, please contact me to work together one-on-one.
