Aviva Gaskill Featured
I attended Yeshiva University's Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology for a PhD in Clinical Psychology with Health Emphasis and graduated in 2011. While there, I learned about health psychology and received lectures on CBT-I from doctoral level providers at Montefiore Hospital and researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. I continue to work with children, young adults, adults, and older adults utilizing CBT-I. Because I often work with individuals managing chronic pain and fatigue (and a variety of medical conditions where sleep is directly impacted such as multiple sclerosis and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome), these skills have served me well and been incredibly useful in my practice. I am a practitioner listed through the Penn MS Center as well as many other clinics and receive re ...

It is understandable to feel frustrated and stuck when it comes to sleep difficulties. I regularly work with individuals who struggle with falling and/or staying asleep, inconsistent sleep schedules, and worry about sleep. I am a clinical and performance psychologist.

I have advance training in behavioral sleep medicine through the Sleep Research Society’s mentorship program under the guidance of Dr. Michael Grandner.

Everything is harder when you aren’t sleeping well, and there’s nothing worse than the helpless and frustrated feeling that accompanies a sleepless night. There’s no shortage of advice out there to improve your sleep, but many of the people I work with find that what they’re missing isn’t brand new information. Instead, they need a personalized strategy to leverage the knowledge they already have within them.
That’s where cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) really shines – enabling us to put together a data-driven sleep plan that works for you and helps you reach your sleep goals. The best part is that CBT-I is brief (4-8 weeks long), effective (70% of clients achieve significant insomnia symptom improvement), and the benefits last (treatment effects outperform the use of ...

If you’re having trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or both—I can help.
As a specialist in insomnia, I provide you with a clear understanding of how sleep works, how insomnia develops, and how to finally get past it. Whether you’ve struggled with sleep for 3 weeks or 30+ years, you can sleep well again.
I will help you to implement powerful changes to your sleep behaviors, and key shifts in your thinking, to break the pattern of poor sleep, eliminate sleep anxiety, and restore quality sleep. I can help you get off sleep aids (including medications and over the counter remedies) even if you’ve been taking them for years.
I have the unique perspective of both a clinical psychologist and former insomnia sufferer, having overcome insomnia 10 years ago with the strategies I tea ...

Hello. My name is Dr. Randy Nolte. I have been in practice for over 15 years now and I am obsessed with sleep - how to understand sleep issues, how to improve the quality of sleep, and how to enhance the way we feel during the day.
