Are you worried about the impact of sleeplessness on your health, relationships and career? Are you wanting to get off sleeping medication (or avoid starting it in the first place), but worried you can't sleep without it?
I help adults who are on their umpteenth night of crappy sleep, heal their natural sleep mechanism and finally get consistent sleep again, usually in just 6-8 weeks.

They want someone who can take their unique health and sleep challenges into a ...

Carin Lefkowitz, Psy.D. Featured
Sleep disruption is unfortunately very common. However, it is also very treatable. I utilize evidence-based treatments to address insomnia and related issues such as nightmares and sleep-related anxiety. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI), Brief Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia (BBTI), and treatments for nightmare disorder. After getting to know you and your goals, we can collaboratively choose a treatment that makes sense for you. Some of the most dramatic improvements I've seen have been in Veterans who resolved 40+ years of insomnia after just a handful of treatment sessions. And unsurprisingly, many other areas of life improve quickly once sleep improves.
I have been providing CBTI for over 10 years, having completed my training and certification wi ...
