I believe sleep is one of the most important factors in general health with broad impacts on recovery, performance, and general quality of life. Understanding why our sleep hygiene or quality of sleep has begun degrading is the first step in remedying our sleep. When it comes to sleep, there is so much to learn and implement, and that is why I focus heavily on creating a comprehensive treatment protocol for clients struggling with their sleep.
Dr. Elliott administers Empirically Supported Treatments (EST's) within the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approach for Insomnia (CBT-I) and other sleep disorders.
I focus exclusively on sleep disorders and the common issues that fuel the vicious cycle of insomnia. My practice is devoted to helping each and every client improve their lives by improving their sleep. I dedicate my professional life to staying up to date on the research and practices that can be life-changing for long-time sufferers of insomnia and other sleep disorders, such as nightmares and shift work disorder.
Have you completed a sleep study and know there is no medical or physical reason for your sleep issues? You find yourself tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep or you have issues simply staying asleep. CBT for Insomnia (CBTi) is a drug-free & evidence-based approach for treating sleep issues. The process first involves collecting your sleep data. We then move on to establishing a new sleep schedule and implementing sleep hygiene practices. Once these behavioural changes are in place, we examine the thoughts that keep you up at night. Are these hypothetical worries or concrete problems that must be solved (during the day). The complete CBTi protocol is brief and includes the learning of valuable CBT skills. Please contact us for a free telephone consultation.
