Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW
Are you having difficulties with sleep? You are not alone. Insomnia is a common and debilitating problem. Research shows that 50% of adults report difficulty sleeping. Many of them use sleeping pills out of desperation to get some sleep relief, and they become dependent on medications despite undesirable long term effects. Medication is not the best or even most effective solution to insomnia. Extensive research support the use of cognitive-behavioral therapy specifically for treating insomnia. CBT I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) is an effective and empirically supported treatment that has has been endorsed by the National Institutes of Health and is recommended as a preferred method for treating insomnia. Research on CBT I shows that 75% of insomnia patients experience significant improved in sleep and as much as 85- 90% of them reduce or stop taking sleeping pills completely after CBT I treatment. I am a certified CBT I therapist and will be able to assist you in resolving your sleeping difficulties. In treatment, we conjointly work on changing the negative sleep thoughts and behaviors that lead to insomnia. CBTI is a short duration treatment that can make a huge difference in your every day function.

Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Many factors operate to interfere with sufficient sleep during these years – including anxiety or depression, early school starts, homework loads, biological shifts to staying up late, and habits such as caffeine use and electronic device use. Poor sleep can exacerbate anxiety and depressed mood, cause irritability, and make it difficult to be effective at school or in relationships.

I have many resources and strategies to help you improve your sleep through education, relaxation skills, and behavior modifications.

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.
