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.

Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to treating sleep difficulties is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), a highly effective, evidence-based method for improving sleep. I work with clients to identify and change thoughts and behaviors that interfere with healthy sleep patterns. This process includes techniques such as sleep scheduling, stimulus control, relaxation strategies, and cognitive restructuring to reduce worry and improve sleep quality. My goal is to help clients restore a natural, consistent sleep rhythm and develop long-term habits that support restful, restorative sleep.

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.

Stuart Hellebrand, M.S., C.Ht.
Hypnotherapist
Starting many years ago, clients frequently enough reported sleep improvement associated with hypnotherapy, that I routinely began teaching each client sleep preparation techniques through the use of post hypnotic suggestions, relaxation exercises, and guided imagery. The reported benefits associated with doing so have been noteworthy. In this regard, Using Fitbit, Google, and Apple watches, has enabled both me and my clients to document improved sleep. An associated benefit has been a reported increase in dreaming which allows one to vent stressors among other benefits. I only work with diagnosed sleep disorders by way of medical referral.
