My work draws from behavioral sleep medicine,
functional contextualism, and mindfulness practices
to address not just your sleep habits but the
thoughts, patterns, and rhythms driving them.
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.
If you’re exhausted by exhaustion, lying awake, waking at 3 a.m., dreading bedtime, or if your child can’t settle without a battle, you’ve found the right place.
No pills. No guesswork. Just behavioral science that works.

I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relational stress, often at times when things feel overwhelming, uncertain, or difficult to manage alone.

Expect targeted strategies for performance anxiety/ED, libido recalibration plans, porn use restructuring, erotic mindfulness, desire dialogues, and communication micro‑skills for high‑stakes topics (mismatch in desire, fantasy disclosure, repair after shutdowns).
Barry helps couples and men in New York and North Carolina untangle the intersection of intimacy, sex, emotion, and identity, especially when anxiety, performance pressure, porn overuse, low desire, or erectile unpredictability have created distance, self‑doubt, or cycles of avoidance. Sessions are active, structured, and shame‑free: we map the feedback loop between physiology, thoughts, attachment patterns, and relational dynamics so interventions feel precise (not generic “talk”).

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
