Sleep Issues
Ann Aspnes
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
With nearly two decades of specialized experience treating sleep disorders, I help adults overcome chronic sleep struggles using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)—the gold-standard, non-pharmacological treatment for persistent sleep issues. Rather than relying on temporary fixes, we target the behavioral habits, physiological arousal, and anxious thought patterns that keep your body awake at night, resetting your natural sleep drive and circadian rhythm. Additionally, I offer structured exposure therapy for individuals struggling with CPAP adherence, helping you comfortably acclimate to the mask and device so you can manage sleep apnea effectively. My goal is to restore quiet, dependable rest so you can wake up feeling refreshed and energized.

Sleep Issues
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.
