BSM Specialties: Nightmare Syndrome
Spencer Dawson Featured
I am a licensed clinical psychologist and am board certified in Behavioral Sleep Medicine.

I am on the faculty of Indiana University. Specifically, I am Assistant Clinical Professor and Associate Director of Clinical Training in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. In that position, I am responsible for training and supervising doctoral students in the clinical science program.

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, ...
