Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Better sleep in 6 to 8 weeks — without medication. That's not a promise pulled out of thin air; it's what the research behind Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) consistently shows. CBT-I is recommended as the first-line treatment for insomnia by the American College of Physicians, and it works by targeting the specific habits, thoughts, and associations that keep your sleep problems alive. Whether you're struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake up feeling rested, this is a structured, time-limited approach designed to get you real results. Sessions are fully virtual and available in English and Spanish.

Stuart Hellebrand, M.S., C.Ht.
Hypnotherapist
Starting many years ago, clients frequently enough reported sleep improvement associated with hypnotherapy, that I routinely began teaching each client sleep preparation techniques through the use of post hypnotic suggestions, relaxation exercises, and guided imagery. The reported benefits associated with doing so have been noteworthy. In this regard, Using Fitbit, Google, and Apple watches, has enabled both me and my clients to document improved sleep. An associated benefit has been a reported increase in dreaming which allows one to vent stressors among other benefits. I only work with diagnosed sleep disorders by way of medical referral.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for sleep disorders and sleep-related difficulties, including insomnia, difficulty falling asleep, frequent waking, restless sleep, nightmares, and disrupted sleep patterns. Sleep challenges can significantly impact mood, energy levels, concentration, emotional regulation, physical health, and overall quality of life.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to sleep issues, recognizing that sleep disturbances are often connected to stress, anxiety, unresolved trauma, emotional dysregulation, or nervous system activation. Therapy focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying factors that may be interfering with healthy sleep, rather than only treating symptoms at the surface level.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support nervous system calming, emotional processing, and long-term sleep improvement. Treatment may include exploring past experiences that contribute to hyperarousal, anxiety, or difficulty feeling safe and settled at night.
In addition to trauma-focused work, therapy may also incorporate practical sleep hygiene strategies, relaxation techniques, stress reduction skills, and behavioral approaches that support healthier sleep patterns and improved rest over time.
Brad’s approach is collaborative and individualized, helping clients develop a personalized plan that addresses both emotional and behavioral contributors to sleep difficulties. The goal is to restore healthy sleep cycles, improve daily functioning, and support greater emotional balance and overall well-being.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can improve sleep quality, reduce nighttime anxiety, and regain the restorative rest needed for physical, emotional, and mental health.

Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
Sleep disorders, particularly insomnia, are treatable with hypnotherapy, which works by reducing anxiety, calming the nervous system, and changing negative habits or thoughts regarding sleep. It is a safe, evidence-supported, complementary approach for improving sleep quality and reducing sleep latency.
If you would like to be physically and psychologically healthy, you must have enough sleep. Whether it is insomnia or parasomnia, I can help you for recovery by Dicit Hypnotherapy. Patients with these disorders are getting resilient in no time due to my Dicit hypnotherapy. Time for you to recover and be able to sleep peacefully. Time to sleep well!

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
One of the things that can disrupt sleep is when your nervous system has difficulty moving fully out of 'fight-or-flight', or if it moves too easily INTO fight-or-flight. For example, some people have difficultly falling asleep (their mind is racing with anxiety, or their body feels pumped with energy), while some others wake in the middle of the night, suddenly fully activated.
I'll work with you to help your body learn how to move into a 'rest-and-relax' state, and we'll also work on softening the triggers that might be pushing you into fight-or-flight. If that's what's been keeping you from sleeping well, hopefully you'll start to notice small signs of progess as we work together.

Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Having a specialty focus in grad school in behavioral medicine where I also developed severe insomnia, has left me passionate and compassionate about insomnia in particular. I know way more about treating insomnia than the average therapist and use a variety of techniques in addition to worry management, stimulus control, sleep hygiene, and what I call "the win-win trick." If worries keep you awake, I truly believe that I'm your best but. If you have other forms of insomnia, you might do better with a CBT-I certified therapist.

Many of my clients suffer from sleep disorders, insomnia, Sleep Apnea, and Narcolepsy.

When sleep becomes unreliable, insomnia can quickly affect mood, concentration, and overall functioning. Many adults find themselves caught in a cycle where stress, racing thoughts, or irregular sleep patterns make it increasingly difficult to rest. I help clients identify the factors contributing to insomnia and develop practical strategies that support healthier, more consistent sleep.
