BSM Specialties: Insomnia
Kristy Sporrer, LCSW, CBTI-C, DBSM Featured
I work with young adults and adults, offering sessions via telehealth. I specialize in treating chronic insomnia through CBT-I, which is a short, structured, effective and evidence-based treatment for insomnia. I also specialize in working with anxiety disorders and depression, and I often see these co-occurring with insomnia. Perhaps you have been trying to work through this on your own or hoping it would just resolve itself, but you have reached a point where you need some extra support. I'm always honored when a client chooses me to help them, and I take the responsibility very seriously.

Andrea L. Jamison Featured
I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in helping people sleep better. I tailor CBTI-I to your needs by taking into account what works for your specific nervous system. This can include addressing a mind that won't turn off, a body that feels panicky or on high alert, or feeling awake for no known reason at all. I also offer general therapy incorporating CBT, somatic, and psychodynamic approaches for anyone who overthinks, overanalyzes, and has trouble "shutting off their brain" - whether it's day or night. You can choose to do CBT-I only, general psychotherapy only, or some combination of the two. Reach out for a free consultation and we can discuss what might work best for you. I'm currently accepting new telehealth clients throughout the state of Virginia. Please note tha ...

Let's face it. You've probably tried it all: mindfullness practices, reading self-help books, taking melatonin, using prescribed sleep medication, maybe you've even enlisted Chat-GPT. Some of it's worked, maybe for awhile. But today, your sleep is not where you'd like it to be. You're still fatigued, drowsy, and generally dreading attempting to sleep tonight.
Let's change this. Since you're here, you probably have heard of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i), you might even know that it is the first line recommended treatment for Insomnia (due to the strong research evidence supporting it's effectiveness and safety). CBT-i can help you change your relationship with sleep so that the struggle is stopped and sleep can become your friend. You can wake up feeling rested and ...
