You feel stressed out and exhausted. Between work and family life, you are constantly busy but as soon as you lay down at night your mind starts racing and it keeps you from the sleep you so desperately need. You feel like you are working all the time, but you never get anything accomplished. You can’t relax, even when you have down time, and it’s hard to be alone with your thoughts. You feel like you are failing in the areas of your life that are the most important to you. If you could just break out of this unhealthy cycle, you would be happier and more successful in both your personal and professional life.

You do not fit into the mold of a typical therapy client. People who know you would say you have it all figured out and are living the good life. People close to you may even say you "don't need therapy." Yet, your busy lifestyle comes with a great deal of stress, and maybe even loneliness. People in your circle would never guess, but you might have a trauma that nags at you, despite your best efforts. Underneath your exterior of success and confidence, there are troubled nights where you cannot relax and get a good night's sleep, leading to increased burnout. You deserve a skilled therapist who understands and accepts you.

As a driven and successful individual, you excel in your career, education, or public life, but behind the scenes, you’re struggling with imposter syndrome and exhaustion. You’re losing sleep, battling depression, and experiencing overwhelming worry. Your days are packed with meetings, deadlines, and responsibilities, leaving little room to pause or reflect, let alone take care of yourself. Sometimes, you skip breaks, yet the quality of your work and relationships are suffering. Even when you're around loved ones, you’re not fully present. Constant pressure has left you disconnected, and the burnout is quietly taking its toll.

You have been contemplating this for some time. However, your fears, fatigue, and low motivation prevent you from taking this critical first step. A lot of going back and forth in your mind creates intense emotions that lead you to feel stuck. Sweeping your feelings under the rug is no longer working for you. These emotions are negatively affecting your sense of self, relationships, and/or creating isolation. Your sleep is not good, feeling down each day and experience overwhelming worry. Relationships, work and/parenting are negatively impacted by your emotions. It's okay to let go of control and trust that change is possible.

Sleep or Insomnia Therapists

How effective is treatment for insomnia?

The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.

Are there specific medications for sleep problems?

There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.

Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?

There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.

What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?

Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
