Sleep Disorder therapists in East Alton, Illinois IL
Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Sleeping disorders refer to various conditions disrupting normal sleep patterns, causing difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep, or achieving restful sleep. I'd assist someone struggling with sleeping disorders by initially evaluating the underlying factors contributing to their sleep disturbances. We'd explore any emotional disturbances, trauma-related triggers, or relationship issues affecting their sleep quality. Employing techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy, we'd address negative thought patterns and behaviors hindering sleep. Moreover, I'd guide them in developing relaxation techniques, stress management strategies, and healthy sleep habits. By tackling underlying emotional and relational issues while promoting healthier sleep habits, the goal is to help them achieve better sleep and enhance overall well-being.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Sleep disorders can significantly impact individuals dealing with addictions, relationship issues, or depression. For example, insomnia can worsen mood swings and decrease the ability to cope with stress, potentially exacerbating symptoms of depression. To support someone struggling with this problem, I would focus on identifying underlying causes of sleep disturbances and implementing lifestyle changes to promote better sleep hygiene. This may involve creating a consistent bedtime routine, reducing caffeine intake, and practicing relaxation techniques.

Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
In addition to cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), I also provide imagery rehearsal therapy (aka nightmare rescripting) to address problems with recurrent, distressing dreams. Because sleep issues often co-occur with other mental health problems, such as mood and anxiety concerns, I am able to integrate CBT-I with therapies targeting these concerns. When working on improving sleep with clients, I carefully track their progress week-to-week, and typically observe noticeable improvements within a relatively short timeframe.
