Sleep Disorder therapists in Thunder Bay, Ontario ON, Canada CA
Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
Although it is normal to experience problems sleeping, these disturbances are usually quickly resolved. A sufferer of a sleep disorder will struggle to fall asleep as a regular occurrence, thus not being able to cycle through the stages of sleep. This leads to an inability to rest and restore energy, which often leads to problems with communication, relationships, concentration, decision making, work responsibilities, and/or general daily functioning. Furthermore, a lack of sleep can create significant emotional upheaval, including increased irritability, agitation, and anxiety.

Dr. Kim Edwards
Psychologist, C.Psych.
At MindFit, we know that insomnia and difficulties with sleep can be extremely challenging, frustrating, and exhausting. Our skilled clinical and health psychologists, provide Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) - a structured, brief, and evidence-based approach to managing challenging and frustrating symptoms associated with insomnia/sleep difficulties. CBT-I generally involves identifying thoughts and behaviours contributing to sleep challenges, reframing misconceptions, and introducing helpful behavioural practices (e.g., relaxation training, sleep control) to improve sleep habits. Additional sleep hygiene strategies (including use of a sleep diary to track wake and sleep times) may be discussed.

HealthWise Hypnosis
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy works amazingly well for sleep issues. And although sleep disorders and insomnia can be caused by physical or behavioral reasons, experts agree that the leading source of sleep disorders is stress. This can include anxiety, worry, grief, anger, fear or sadness.
The inability to sleep, when caused by stress, is often experienced as inner thoughts and feelings playing out in the mind repetitively. Noise from a racing mind, and being unable to just switch the thoughts off, are common complaints. This is where hypnosis can be the most beneficial. My clients with chronic insomnia have experienced incredible change quickly, with the ability to sleep deeply once again.
