Profession: Psychotherapist
Ellis Kim Featured
I am a psychotherapist in private practice serving the states of California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Florida. I received insomnia psychotherapy training in CBT-I from the University of Arizona Sleep & Health Research Program and the Center for Deployment Psychology. More broadly, I am a relational and experiential psychotherapist utilizing somatic experiencing (SE), accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP), and internal family systems (IFS). When working in short-term insomnia focused therapy, I occasionally integrate experiential methods, particularly from somatic experiencing. I have worked with clients who have reached out exclusively to do CBT-I, and I have also worked with my existing long-term clients with CBT-I. I accept certain insurance plans in MA and am an OO ...

Lorraine Irlam Featured
Hi, my name is Lorraine Irlam. I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Vancouver, BC and the founder of Insomnia Help Canada.
If struggling to fall asleep, tossing and turning at night, or waking up too early has become your norm, you are not alone.
Like you, I felt hopeless and desperate about my inability to sleep. And after a 20-year battle with chronic insomnia, I found a way to reclaim my life.
Enter cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (or CBT-I), a practical, drug-free approach backed by decades of research that addresses the causes of your sleep problems. I also find acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and mindful self-compassion (MSC) to be invaluable additions to help people improve their sleep – and their quality of life.
There’s nothing more rewarding ...

I’m a psychotherapist in private practice licensed in NY and NJ. I offer over a decade of experience, specializing in treating anxiety and insomnia. My own struggle with insomnia led me to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), and I was my own first CBT-I patient. It worked so well that I became a CBT-I practitioner. My patients also appreciate how well CBT-I works, and how quickly.
In nearly all the patients I’ve treated for insomnia, there is a strong tendency for perfectionism. I found that enhancing core CBT-I with additional modules on mindfulness, relaxation and emotional regulation skills effectively addresses this issue.
Sleep is so fundamental to our well-being, and it can get off-balance easily. One of my greatest professional joys is when my patients report t ...
