Barbara J. Biggs
Professional Christian Counselor, M.A., LLPC
As a therapist specializing in sleep disorders, my primary goal is to help individuals achieve restful and restorative sleep patterns. I understand the profound impact that sleep has on overall well-being, and I am dedicated to assisting clients in overcoming the challenges associated with sleep disturbances. Through a personalized and evidence-based approach, I work closely with clients to identify the underlying causes of their sleep problems, whether they're related to insomnia, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, or other sleep disorders. Together, we develop tailored strategies and lifestyle adjustments to promote healthier sleep hygiene and improve the quality and duration of sleep. My mission is to empower clients to regain control over their sleep, enhance their physical and mental health, and ultimately lead more fulfilling lives.

Daniel Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD., 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.
