BSM Specialties: Nightmare Syndrome
Nicholas Nissen, M.D. Featured
Dr. Nissen is a board certified psychiatrist and Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. He started his concierge clinic after seeing patients and families disillusioned with the behavioral healthcare model commonly available: short, infrequent, med-focused visits with minimal impact. Nissen Clinic was created to provide personalized, holistic treatment to create real change.
Dr. Nissen is passionate about the mind-body connection and takes a bio-psycho-social approach with each person, implementing evidence-based biological (e.g., medical, sleep, diet, exercise), psychological (e.g., therapy, exposure, learning) and social (e.g., relationships, career, spiritual) interventions.

Sleep affects everything, and when it's a consistent issue, the smallest things can feel overwhelming. Tired but wired is not how to live, and it doesn't have to be! I am an LPCC working in Sartell, and an LMHC working via telehealth in IA, who specializes in behavioral sleep medicine and I enjoy working with those struggling with sleep issues like insomnia by providing psychoeducation and CBT-I. If you have difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, waking up too earlier, sleeping too long, or nightmares, CBT-I and behavioral sleep medicine are among the best routes to address them.
I have completed CBT-I training and am pursuing the DBSM certification as well as a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. My goal is to work with sleep and mental health as a sleep psychologist once I am done. ...

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?
I help adults who are on their umpteenth night of crappy sleep, heal their natural sleep mechanism and finally get consistent sleep again, usually in just 6-8 weeks.
[ Ready to get started right away? Book your first session or ask a question here: https://www.bodymindalliancecc.com/get-in-touch ]
Clients often come to me desperate, anxious and tired.
They’ve tried lots of other things already so they’re looking for an expert, not a generalist who just knows a little about sleep.
They want someone who can take their unique health and sleep challenges into acc ...

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 ...

I am a sleep psychologist specializing in helping moms fall asleep and stay asleep without medication.
Sleep problems can develop at any time in your life--especially during major transitions. Motherhood and being a woman is full of many changes that can cause sleep problems. Hormone changes, such as pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause all impact our sleep. Our life patterns and schedules shift too, whether it be the baby finally sleeping through the night (but we're wide awake, anxiously waiting for them to wake up), early morning school schedules, busy & stressful work weeks, late night sports practices, an empty house; every phase of life changes everything. The stress, anxiety, the shifts in routine, can all cause us to have disrupted sleep.
As a sleep psychologist I always ...

My main specialty is in the psychological management of adults with Insomnia and sleep difficulties. I've had a special interest in the field of sleep and insomnia since 2002.
I use evidence based treatments such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
I will ask you to have an active role in determining your goals and the direction treatment takes. After most sessions you will be given something to read, or something to write/think about, or together we might suggest trailing a new strategy or way of approaching things. Implementing new strategies can be challenging and time will be spent in sessions helping you to find ways to approach things differently. Usually the treatment will not take a lot of time during the week but giving some time ...
