Are you are stuck in cycles of anxiety and fear there is no way out? Has it gotten to the point that you are losing sleep, losing time, losing the things you enjoy, and losing relationships? If this is your experience you have probably tried countless times to break these cycles only to find yourself right back in that messy anxious space. You want to reclaim your life. You want to move forward and achieve your life's goals. Most of all you want to break free of the worry, anxiety, and fear and be in control again.

You avoid going out and spend most of your time on-line. When you do go out you feel stressed, “uptight” or on the edge. You have fears of looking foolish or inadequate. Disapproval and criticism are a nightmare for you. You can’t fall asleep because of all the worrisome thoughts running through your head. Watching other people enjoy themselves and having relationships makes you wonder, “What is wrong with me”? You would love to feel less fearful and be able to socialize like everyone else. You would love to go out with “real” friends for coffee or on a date. You would love to have a restful nights sleep.

As one ages, one experiences the "Winds of Change". Some of us experience these changes in our lives one at a time, and others experience a world wind that may take our breath away. As a therapist that concentrates on Holistic remedies, I find that many of us are not able to handle all of the changes that may occur at one time, which may leave us feeling depressed and/or anxious. However, during this state of "change" is it actually depression and/or anxiety... or is it a result of what has or is occurring in our lives?

Are you struggling with relationships issues, codependency trauma or narcissistic abuse?. You may be holding it together on the outside but struggling inside. Even the strongest among us can feel lost, unsure, ambivalent, or unhappy at times. It's OK to need help, even though you may have had it all together all these years. It's actually a sign of strength to realize that help is needed to deal with the confusion, mental fog, feelings of being overwhelmed, and effects of trauma and changes. Therapy is a gift you give yourself to heal, to love and to understand.

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.
