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.
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.

My ideal client is someone who may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use and relapse concerns, ADHD, or coping patterns that no longer feel helpful. My clients often need help with emotional safety and stabilization, connecting past experiences to present-day coping strategies, support in setting healthy boundaries, and guidance in making values-informed decisions.

My clients can expect an environment free of judgment, full of understanding and empathy, where they can face the challenges that they have in a supportive environment. My personal background allows me to look at client issues from a different view and offer real world healing that meets the client where they are. My client’s come from various backgrounds, but all seeking to better understand themselves and a better way of coping. Because I’m seeing clients virtually, they feel freer to share more intimate and personal concerns that might be harder to talk about in person.
Please note that in GA- I only take self-pay clients.

I draw from ACT, IFS, and trauma-informed modalities like EMDR.
Are you weighed down by anxiety, burdened by the lingering impact of past experiences, and exhausted from the ceaseless pressure to please others? You're so accustomed to being everything for everyone that you've lost sight of who you are, and it feels unsettling even to read a paragraph focused on you. If you’re ready to leave the years of living for everyone except yourself behind, to break free from the confines of trauma and self-doubt, and finally feel excited for your life, you’ve found the right place.

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.
