Dr. David Leibovitz
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Sleep disturbances affect most people at some point in their lives. lots of sleep can have a negative impact on many facets of our lives including problems at work, school, mood disturbances, attention issues and more. We utilize cognitive behavioral therapy skills to address all of the emotional and behavioral factors associated with sleep disturbances. Sleep is something we all need, and actually something that comes very naturally if we can get out of the way. It’s easier said than done, but in therapy we can help you develop a successful sleep program including setting up the proper structure, environment, and behaviors to bolster your ability to fall asleep and stay asleep.

Jackie Ma
Psychologist, Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology
I am competent in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), which is a gold standard treatment for this condition. As a result of my training experiences, I have also worked with individuals with sleep apnea who are struggling to use their CPAP/BiPAP machines consistently due to anxiety or fear. I utilize a treatment called CPAP desensitization to address such concerns. I have also worked with individuals with circadian rhythm disorders and hypersomnia.

Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Courtesy of the Mayo Clinic: “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia is a structured program that helps you identify and replace thoughts and behaviors that cause or worsen sleep problems with habits that promote sound sleep. Unlike sleeping pills, CBT-I helps you overcome the underlying causes of your sleep problems. To identify how to best treat your insomnia, your sleep therapist may have you keep a detailed sleep diary for one to two weeks. The cognitive part of CBT-I teaches you to recognize and change beliefs that affect your ability to sleep. This type of therapy can help you control or eliminate negative thoughts and worries that keep you awake. The behavioral part of CBT-I helps you develop good sleep habits and avoid behaviors that keep you from sleeping well.” Specific CBT-I techniques include the following:
Sleep Control: Removing factors that condition the mind to resist sleep.
Sleep Restriction: Reducing the time spent in bed to increase the mind-body willingness to sleep the following night. Once sleep has improved, the time in bed is gradually increased.
Sleep Hygiene: Changing basic lifestyle habits that influence sleep, such as smoking or drinking too much caffeine late in the day, drinking too much alcohol, or not getting regular exercise.
Relaxation Training: Calming the mind and body using meditation, imagery, and muscle relaxation.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Insomnia is a great stressor for many people. We can go to extreme lengths to get a "good night's sleep". Did you know was was far simpler than all the gadgets, medicines, and rituals? I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) to help people improve the quality and quantity of their sleep. Finally getting a good night's rest can be a great starting point to treating anxiety and depression. If you are not sleeping great, then these other problems can be more resistant to treatment.
