Sleep Issues
Dr. Kelly Scherger
Psychologist, PhD, CST
Sleep plays an essential role in emotional regulation, physical health, cognitive functioning, and overall quality of life. When sleep difficulties such as insomnia become part of your routine, your mood, energy, relationships, and ability to manage everyday stress become difficult to manage. I work with clients to explore the psychological and behavioral factors that may contribute to sleep issues and identify individualized strategies to support more restful sleep. Specifically, I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), which is the gold standard treatment for insomnia.

Sleep Issues
iRecovery Behavioral Healthcare
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW, LMHC
Insomnia is unusual in that trying harder makes it worse, as anxiety about not sleeping becomes the very thing keeping you awake. iRecovery treats sleep disorders with structured behavioral and cognitive methods, examining the habits and schedules that maintain the problem and rebuilding your body's association between bed and sleep. Because poor sleep both worsens and results from anxiety, depression, and stress, we address it as part of the whole picture rather than an isolated complaint.

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.

Sleep Issues
Brittany Speed, Hudson Valley Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
Sleep difficulties can affect nearly every aspect of your life, from your mood and concentration to your energy, relationships, and overall well-being. Insomnia can involve difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, waking earlier than intended, or feeling unrefreshed despite spending enough time in bed. When sleep problems persist, they can become frustrating and exhausting, leaving you feeling stuck in a cycle of worry about sleep and difficulty getting the rest you need.
I specialize in evidence-based treatment for sleep disorders, including insomnia and nightmare disorder. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), the gold-standard treatment for chronic insomnia, helps you understand the factors maintaining sleep difficulties and develop practical skills to improve sleep habits, reduce sleep-related worry, and restore more restful, consistent sleep.
While occasional nightmares are common, frequent, distressing nightmares can disrupt sleep, affect your emotional well-being, and make it difficult to feel rested or safe. Nightmares may occur on their own or alongside other concerns, such as PTSD. I also specialize in Imagery Rehearsal Therapy (IRT), an evidence-based, short-term treatment that helps reduce nightmare frequency and distress. Whether you are struggling with persistent insomnia, recurring nightmares, or both, treatment can be tailored to your individual needs and goals. With the right support and tools, better sleep is possible, and you can begin to feel more rested and engaged in your daily life.
