I'm Dr. Michelle Lyons and I treat insomnia and co-occurring anxiety in adults throughout CA and FL. It feels like your nights have become a battlefield where the harder you fight for rest, the further away it slips. You’re likely exhausted from laying awake for no good reason, watching the clock tick through the odd hours while tossing and turning in frustration. Whether it’s the disruption of repeated nightmares or the constant, nagging worry about whether you’ll get “enough” sleep to function, insomnia has a way of shrinking your world. You’ve likely tried everything, advice from doctors, suggestions from family, and every "trick" the internet has to offer, yet you still wake up feeling fatigued, with your mind stuck in a loop of thinking about sleep when you’d rather be thinking about ...

If you've been lying awake night after night, exhausted but unable to sleep, you already know that willpower and sleep hygiene tips aren't enough. Chronic insomnia has a way of becoming self-sustaining, the more you try to fix it, the worse it gets. CBT-I breaks that cycle by targeting the thoughts and behaviors that are keeping your sleep broken, without medication and without an indefinite course of treatment. Most of my clients with insomnia are high-functioning adults who have been managing poor sleep for months or years, often alongside anxiety or depression. They've tried everything they can think of on their own. What they haven't tried is a structured, evidence-based approach designed specifically for the way insomnia actually works. CBT-I is the gold-standard, first-line tre ...

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 ...
