I use behavioral sleep medicine, functional contextualism, and mindfulness practices drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy—all evidence-based, no medication required.
Sleep is the foundation of everything, yet most people who struggle with it get generic advice that doesn’t work.I’m Kevin Harrison, LMFT and CCSH, a behavioral sleep specialist who treats insomnia, circadian disorders, nightmare disorder, and pediatric sleep using evidence-based behavioral approaches.

No pills. No guesswork. Just behavioral science that works.

I work well with adults who know something needs to change, even if they’re not sure where to start. You may look like you’re handling life on the outside, but privately feel anxious, drained, unmotivated, avoidant, overwhelmed, resentful, or disconnected. Some clients come in tired of overthinking, shutting down, people-pleasing, or repeating the same relationship patterns. You don’t have to have everything figured out, but it helps if you’re willing to look honestly at what isn’t working. I help clients understand the patterns underneath the struggle and build realistic next steps they can use between sessions and in daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
