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.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

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.
