Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in North Yarmouth, ME
The world is heavy right now. Whether you are navigating global exhaustion, complex trauma, or a lost sense of self, you deserve an active partner in your healing. My practice is a space for direct connection and honest reflection. I respect your ability to heal and believe that meaningful change is rooted in the quiet work of rediscovering who you are.

The emphasis of my practice begins at a foundational level. Approaching our bodies as a container of resources gifted to us at conception. My care for clients is specifically focused on the somatic listening and attunement with self and the natural world. I use mindfulness, trauma informed touch, and Neuro-Sensory-Motor Reflex Integration methods (MNRI). The clients who walk through my door are not looking to be "fixed" with more "go...go...go” but rather to "connect" to a slower, and softer sense of self. I want you to look forward to “Jenna days” as a series of exhaling release valves.

Life can feel really heavy at times. We can feel pulled in so many directions: by the people who rely on us, the expectations we place on ourselves, and the responsibilities that come with school, work, family, and simply being human. It’s easy to slip into survival mode and push our own needs to the side. Therapy can be a place to set all of that down for a moment, breathe, and sort through what’s going on inside. Sometimes having someone walk beside you through those ups and downs can make all the difference.

But did you know that hypnosis has very effectively been used for stress management, "anxiety", fears and insomnia?
All hypnosis. All the time. That's all I do. I'm not a psychotherapist, I don't diagnose you and I don't "treat" you. I do, however, help you eliminate negative patterns, conquer obstacles, and take more control in your life through hypnosis and self-hypnosis.

At present, my practice is limited to men and women in the law enforcement community and their families. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used in many medical facilities today and I am against the practice. I am making a statement: I don’t believe AI and the collection of voice recordings in a medical / psychotherapy office should happen. Be assured that I do not and I will not record therapy sessions. Treatment sessions are sacrosanct to me and therefore confidential.

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.
