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.

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.

Washington's identity as the center of American political life creates a distinct mental health environment where therapists frequently address political burnout, moral injury, and the psychological toll of careers in government, advocacy, nonprofit work, and public policy. The city has a highly educated and driven professional demographic, and therapists specializing in perfectionism, ambition-related anxiety, and navigating high-stakes careers are consistently in demand. DC's large Black professional community and its diverse immigrant population from Africa, Central America, South Asia, and East Asia make culturally affirming and multilingual care especially important. MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and GW Hospital provide institutional mental health anchors alongside the city's dense and sophisticated independent therapy community.
