Leon Li-Hsiang Yang Featured
Hello, I’m Leon Yang (楊里祥), a licensed counseling psychologist based in Taipei, Taiwan. I work with adults struggling with sleep difficulties — lying awake unable to fall asleep, waking repeatedly through the night, rising too early, or never feeling rested. Insomnia often shows up alongside stress, anxiety, or life transitions, and tends to develop a life of its own: the harder you try to sleep, the more elusive sleep becomes.
My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia recommended by international sleep guidelines — more effective and durable than sleep medications long-term. CBT-I targets the real engines of chronic insomnia: weakened sleep drive, disrupted circadian rhythm, conditioned arousal in the b ...

Magdalena Blasiak Featured
Hi, I’m Magdalena. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)—the gold-standard, evidence-based approach for chronic sleep issues. Chronic sleeplessness is more than just tiredness; it directly impacts your emotional resilience, amplifying anxiety, low mood, and burnout by keeping your nervous system in constant overdrive. Restoring your sleep is often the single most powerful key to restoring your emotional well-being.
My therapeutic style integrates coaching and is warm, gentle, and deeply collaborative. I don't hand down rigid rules; instead, we work side by side as partners to break the cycle of bedtime dread, quiet racing thoughts, and reset your natural sleep rhythms. Beyond CBT-I, I offer compassionate, depth-oriented support for high-functioning teens, you ...

Cathy Bykowski, Ph.D. Featured
You’re exhausted but can’t turn your brain off at night. Maybe you lie awake replaying to-do lists, worrying about what’s ahead, or counting the hours you have left to sleep. Some nights you fall asleep quickly, other nights you’re still wide awake at 2 a.m. You’re tired of tossing, turning, and dragging through your days.
I’m a health psychologist who helps people break the cycle between stress, poor sleep, and health problems. Stress, burnout, and emotional strain can lead to sleep difficulties, weight gain, high blood pressure, and trouble managing conditions like diabetes or chronic illness. At the same time, health issues can affect your mood, motivation, and daily habits — leaving you stuck in a frustrating loop.
