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.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Insomnia and sleep disorders can be one of the most challenging to bring back to harmony, especially after chronic trauma, abuse, or shedding addictions. This is often due to a seriously compromised and disregulated nervous system. This area is one I have much experience in and in addition to using custom session hypnosis recordings and sleep hypnosis recordings, I have an arsenal of tools to help those suffering from trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. We get there by examining the beliefs and emotions associated with the issue and possibly a hypnotic regression, if needed. There are other relaxation techniques we can use to help alleviate symptoms related to insomnia, like breathwork, pineal gland breathing, tapping, EMT, NLP, Gestalt, and more. Within the protocol is a goal to reset your nervous system, and we do this partly by programming in signals that show your nervous system it is safe to relax. We use emotional regulation commands and techniques to reinforce this. We can use the breathwork and hypnosis to quickly get you out of an agitated state (such as when you wake up with racing thoughts), through binaural synchronization of right and left sides of the brain from high Beta to Alpha then Delta brainwaves.
