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.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, I help my clients explore beliefs that are getting in the way of sleep and guide them in powerful CBT-I techniques that transform wakefulness into slumber. My group practice, Zest Mental Health Counseling, has prioritized sleep, and includes a second CBT-I provider as well! The CBT-I protocol typically takes 6-10 sessions to complete, and our work is done on a HIPAA-compliant video platform. While we don't take health insurance, it’s possible your insurance company will reimburse you for services received outside of the company’s network, and we will provide you with a claim that you can submit. We would love to hear from you!
