Monica Grey
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.

Alignment Psychotherapy, PLLC
Psychologist, LP, PhD
One of our clinicians at Alignment Psychotherapy PLLC specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), an evidence-based, first-line treatment for chronic sleep difficulties. This approach focuses on identifying and changing the thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that interfere with healthy sleep, rather than relying solely on medication. Our clinician works collaboratively with clients to address issues such as difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing non-restorative sleep. Treatment may include strategies like sleep scheduling, stimulus control, cognitive restructuring around sleep-related anxiety, and building sustainable sleep habits that align with the body’s natural rhythms. With a structured yet personalized approach, CBT-I can lead to lasting improvements in sleep quality and overall well-being. Our goal is to help clients regain confidence in their ability to sleep and develop practical tools that support long-term, restorative rest.

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.

Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Courtesy of the Mayo Clinic: “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia is a structured program that helps you identify and replace thoughts and behaviors that cause or worsen sleep problems with habits that promote sound sleep. Unlike sleeping pills, CBT-I helps you overcome the underlying causes of your sleep problems. To identify how to best treat your insomnia, your sleep therapist may have you keep a detailed sleep diary for one to two weeks. The cognitive part of CBT-I teaches you to recognize and change beliefs that affect your ability to sleep. This type of therapy can help you control or eliminate negative thoughts and worries that keep you awake. The behavioral part of CBT-I helps you develop good sleep habits and avoid behaviors that keep you from sleeping well.” Specific CBT-I techniques include the following:
Sleep Control: Removing factors that condition the mind to resist sleep.
Sleep Restriction: Reducing the time spent in bed to increase the mind-body willingness to sleep the following night. Once sleep has improved, the time in bed is gradually increased.
Sleep Hygiene: Changing basic lifestyle habits that influence sleep, such as smoking or drinking too much caffeine late in the day, drinking too much alcohol, or not getting regular exercise.
Relaxation Training: Calming the mind and body using meditation, imagery, and muscle relaxation.

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.

Sleep Issues
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.
