Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Are you struggling to sleep, and finding yourself thinking about your sleep or worrying about your sleep? Or are you worrying about your infant's sleep? Many people feel exhausted, frustrated, and anxious about sleep, and this makes falling and staying asleep even even more difficult. I use CBTi, the gold-standard treatment for insomnia to help you let go of the worry and sleep restfully. Therapy focuses on calming your nervous system, shifting the triggers around bedtime, helping you understand how sleep works, and building healthier sleep routines. With compassionate care based on the most up to date research, you can achieve restorative rest and restful sleep, giving you the energy you need to feel well in your daily life.

Daniel Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD., LP. DBSM
We help people with insomnia overcome the thoughts and behaviors that keep them awake at night, including anxiety or worries, which are often experienced as “my brain won’t shut off." Research has shown that chronic problems with sleep can lead to symptoms of depression and worsen anxiety as well as exacerbate medical issues. Drs. Kessler has Diplomate status in behavioral sleep medicine (DBSM), specialized training in treating insomnia with CBT-I, which is a non-medication approach that has been shown to be effective in treating insomnia in over 80% of cases.
CBT-I: Cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) helps people change their thoughts and behaviors about sleep. CBT-I is a short-term, evidence-based treatment that can help people with insomnia improve their sleep quality and get more restful sleep. In many cases it can also help you get more sleep.
CBT-I typically involves multiple components. You will work with your therapist on each of these as needed, individualized to your sleep issues, with most people seeing significant improvement in 3 to 6 visits.

Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you’re struggling with sleep, you may find yourself lying awake at night, watching the clock, and wondering why something that should be natural feels so difficult. You might have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early and not being able to get back to sleep. Over time, this can leave you feeling exhausted, frustrated, and anxious about bedtime itself.
I help clients change the patterns that keep insomnia going using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), the most effective first-line treatment for chronic sleep problems. CBT-I is a structured, evidence-based approach that targets the thoughts and behaviors that interfere with sleep. Research shows that CBT-I improves sleep in 75–80% of individuals and is more effective than sleeping pills in multiple major clinical studies, including those published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and the Archives of Internal Medicine. I also integrate clinical hypnosis to help calm the mind and body, making it easier to transition into restful sleep.
What’s often missing isn’t effort—you’ve likely already tried to “force” sleep, change routines, or rely on medications. What’s missing is a structured method that retrains your brain and body to sleep naturally again. Without that, sleep can become something you chase rather than something that happens.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready for a different approach. If you’re willing to learn a proven system for improving sleep, I can help you fall asleep more easily, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling more rested—without relying on medication.

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.

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.
