I've been practicing CBT since the 1970s and pivoted my practice to include CBTI following my initial training in 2016. Much of my work now emphasizes trauma-informed behavioral sleep medicine and I regularly attend seminars and workshops in addition to participating in sleep medicine training with the World Sleep Academy. Though I primarily work with insomnia, co-morbid insomnia & sleep apnea (COMISA), and sleep-wake phase misalignment, I also get referrals from physicians to assist their patients in eliminating sleep medications and getting desensitized to CPAP masks. I am licensed as a psychologist in both Florida and Missouri and work exclusively through telehealth using a HIPPA-compliant platform.

I focus my work at the intersection of sleep and mental health. If sleep isn’t restful, usually our mood, thinking, and day-to-day activities are affected. And vice versa–if we’re stressed or not feeling good, we may not be sleeping well. I can help you make changes to your sleep that will improve your mental health, and I can support you in managing your mental health so you can sleep better. No meds required--I only use cognitive and behavioral strategies that work.

After working in a variety of settings, including in outpatient community mental health, a men's prison, a youth shelter, an inpatient psychiatric hospital, and a medical/surgical hospital, I found my way to private practice. In 2013, I became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I am a certified CBT-I clinician via Dr. Gregg Jacob's training program, and I have conducted individual CBT-I sessions - in office and remotely since 2015. I lean on mindfulness-based techniques as well as incorporating solution-focused brief therapy. In the United States, between 30-40% of the population suffers from insomnia. We know that medications are not the best long-term treatment option. CBT-I offers relief to most who participate in only a few sessions. I work with adults a ...

Dr. Sisco is an internationally recognized trauma recovery specialist. She emphasizes the importance of a developed and appreciated sense of self in the recovery process. This requires clients to share a little deeper and to own the parts of self that have previously been shunned. The concept is alignment. The more truly aligned our internal voice is with our values as well as our representative to the world, the more successful we are in negotiating life with fulfillment and ease. In the process of overcoming the nagging voice inside or the intrusive thoughts of conversation reruns or traumas replaying in the shadows of the minds eye, Dr. Sisco focuses on symptom relief via CBT including applications of the structured CBT-I 6-8 session model to manage insomnia.
