Sleep Disorder
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.

Sleep Disorder
Karina Suero
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Are you anxious before going to bed because you don’t think you’re going to sleep? Did you go to bed knowing that you will wake up in the middle of the night and you’ll be not able to go back to sleep? Did you find that you are anxious about what you are doing because you are sleeping?
Are you dragging yourself through the day because sleep is never enough?
Let’s look at it together and see how sleep is a natural process to the body and if we can remove obstacles for that natural process to take place naturally.

Sleep Disorder
Jayson L. Mystkowski
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.
