Do you find yourself lying awake at night, despite trying to do everything right to sleep well? Are you worried about the impact of sleeplessness on your health, relationships and career? Are you wanting to get off sleeping medication (or avoid starting it in the first place), but worried you can't sleep without it?
Whether you’ve been struggling to sleep for years or you’re experiencing insomnia for the first time - you are in the right place.
I love to help clients discover consistent, quality rest using CBT-I. Together we will use a set of structured techniques and strategies to break the pattern of insomnia and establish a new healthy pattern of sleep that allows your body to repair its natural sleep mechanism in 6-8 weeks. (1)
Compassion is central to my work.

Carin Lefkowitz, Psy.D. Featured
Sleep disruption is unfortunately very common. However, it is also very treatable. I utilize evidence-based treatments to address insomnia and related issues such as nightmares and sleep-related anxiety. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI), Brief Behavioral Treatment of Insomnia (BBTI), and treatments for nightmare disorder. After getting to know you and your goals, we can collaboratively choose a treatment that makes sense for you. Some of the most dramatic improvements I've seen have been in Veterans who resolved 40+ years of insomnia after just a handful of treatment sessions. And unsurprisingly, many other areas of life improve quickly once sleep improves.
I have been providing CBTI for over 10 years, having completed my training and certification wi ...

Sarah Kate McGowan Featured
I specialize in the treatment of insomnia, nightmares, circadian rhythm disorders, PAP adherence, and other sleep disorders that would benefit from a behavioral approach. Sleep difficulties are often overlooked and yet they undermine our mood, productivity, creativity, memory, and overall health. Whether you recently started having difficulty with sleep or it's been a long standing problem, there are highly effective treatments that do NOT involve the use of medications. In fact, if you are currently taking medications for sleep but would like to reduce or eliminate them, I can help. If anxious thoughts are interfering with your sleep, we can find ways to reduce the impact that anxiety has on your sleep.
With over a decade of experience, I help individuals reach their goals by adapting ...
