Ryan F.P. Robertson Featured
I take a scientific and person-centered approach that integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), neurocounseling, and other evidence-based practices (EBPs) to help you achieve restorative, lasting sleep.
CBT-I is recognized by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine as the gold standard for chronic insomnia, including when insomnia occurs alongside other conditions. The American College of Physicians also recommends CBT-I as the first-line treatment for insomnia before medication. Research shows that most people experience noticeable improvement in four to eight weeks, and the benefits are long-term — unlike sleep medications, which are intended for short-term relief and show limited lasting effect.
My work is grounded in the science of neurobiology, mental health, ...

I am a Nurse Practitioner and Registered Clinical Counsellor serving clients across British Columbia. With 20 years of nursing experience, I bring a strong foundation in health education, behaviour change, and mind–body care to my counselling practice.

Nick Froehlich Featured
I'm a licensed clinical social work, with 10 years of clinical experience in community mental health. I graduated from Temple University in 2016 and began my career in social work.
Throughout my work, no matter the level of care, there was a reoccurring theme of many people not getting enough sleep and or suffering from insomnia. This drove my passion to continue my education on sleep hygiene and treatments for insomnia, both personally and professionally. Not only did I find the research fascinating, I was also inspired by the level of impact CBT-I can make on individuals.
In 2026, I started my private practice, with the goal of treating insomnia and the comorbidities that often come along with the diagnosis.

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 ...
