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, and human behavior. Together, we identify the thought patterns, behaviors, and physiological factors that disrupt sleep and develop strategies that lead to measurable improvement. I often work with individuals whose minds feel “always on,” who find themselves wired but tired, or who are managing neurological or medical conditions that affect sleep.
Healing is an active, intentional process—not a passive one. Our sessions focus on understanding your unique sleep patterns, implementing behavioral tools, and tracking progress over time so that every step we take is purposeful.
I believe therapy should feel collaborative, compassionate, and deeply human. My approach honors the intersection of mind, body, and environment—recognizing that sleep, mood, and cognitive functioning are inseparable. Whether you are experiencing chronic insomnia, racing thoughts at night, or fatigue that affects daily life, my goal is to help you regain calm, clarity, and confidence through evidence-based, brain-informed care.
