Kasey McCracken, MPH, DNP, PMHNP-BC Featured
I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP), with a special focus on the treatment of insomnia.

Throughout my time as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I have been struck by the relationship between sleep and mental health, across disorders, and the importance of addressing sleep to improve functioning and overall well-being. This interest led me to focus my practice on the treatment of insomnia, with specialized training in behavioral sleep medicine. In addition to CBT-I, I provide consultation on the effect of medications o ...

I work with young adults and adults, offering sessions via telehealth. I specialize in treating chronic insomnia through CBT-I, which is a short, structured, effective and evidence-based treatment for insomnia.

Board Certified Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, Certified CBT-I Clinician with advanced training at Stanford’s Sleep Health and Insomnia Program. My training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Nonviolent Communication shapes how I listen and understand the nervous system. Sleep is shaped by your body, your history and your life. That whole picture is the context I work from.
My clients are women whose sleep has become effortful. Insomnia often arrives with a hormonal transition; pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause — and gets written off as normal for that stage. It can also follow a loss, a diagnosis, sustained stress, or have no clear cause. However you arrived here, suffering is never normal. Many women I work with have already tried sleep hygiene, sleep medications, and tr ...

Everything is harder when you aren’t sleeping well, and there’s nothing worse than the helpless and frustrated feeling that accompanies a sleepless night. There’s no shortage of advice out there to improve your sleep, but many of the people I work with find that what they’re missing isn’t brand new information. Instead, they need a personalized strategy to leverage the knowledge they already have within them.
That’s where cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) really shines – enabling us to put together a data-driven sleep plan that works for you and helps you reach your sleep goals. The best part is that CBT-I is brief (4-8 weeks long), effective (70% of clients achieve significant insomnia symptom improvement), and the benefits last (treatment effects outperform the use of ...
