Sleep Issues
Dr. Daisy Vélez
Psychologist, PsyD, DipACLM, PMH-C
When sleep becomes a nightly struggle, it can affect every aspect of your life—your mood, memory, relationships, and overall health. I help adults and teens break the cycle of sleeplessness using evidence-based treatments like CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) and mind-body strategies that target the root causes of disrupted sleep. Whether you're dealing with insomnia, restless sleep, or anxiety that keeps you up at night, we’ll work together to restore healthy sleep and help you feel like yourself again.

Sleep Issues
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.
