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, ...

Elizabeth Bonet, PhD, LMHC Featured
Wouldn’t it be nice to not have to worry about sleep? To know that you can fall asleep within a reasonable amount of time. And to just do a couple of things to prepare yourself, lay your head on the pillow, turn off the light, close your eyes and fall asleep? To wake up feeling like a million dollars, looking forward to the day ahead, feeling happy and refreshed.
I use a combined approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia / CBT-I and Hypnosis to improve your sleep and stop Insomnia in its tracks! Some people are not comfortable with Hypnosis or don’t want it as part of their treatment. That’s perfectly fine with me. It’s truly your choice.
Whether you choose me or someone else, people who decide to do CBT-I improve their sleep in 3-6 sessions typically. I want you to slee ...
