Licensed Clinical Social Worker LCSW
Specialized in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia with particular expertise in treating Insomnia with co-occuring PTSD, Depression, Anxiety Disorder, or Chronic Pain.
A Behavioral Sleep Medicine (BSM) clinic is a specialized healthcare center dedicated to treating sleep disorders through non-medication methods, emphasizing behavioral and cognitive therapies. Unlike conventional sleep clinics, which may rely on diagnostic tools such as overnight sleep studies and medication prescriptions, BSM clinics address the root behavioral and psychological causes of sleep disturbances. These clinics help people struggling with conditions like insomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, nightmare disorder, and other sleep-related problems through evidence-based therapeutic approaches.
At a BSM clinic, patients receive personalized care aimed at long-term improvements in sleep quality. Treatment plans often include the following:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)
This is a structured, short-term therapy designed to break the cycle of insomnia by changing thought patterns and behaviors that interfere with sleep.
Relaxation techniques
Methods like progressive muscle relaxation, meditation, and deep breathing are taught to manage anxiety and stress, common culprits of sleep disturbances.
Sleep restriction therapy
Limiting the amount of time spent in bed to increase sleep efficiency and regulate sleep patterns.
Sleep hygiene counseling
Educating patients on optimal sleep practices such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, limiting screen time before bed, and controlling the bedroom environment.
Stimulus control therapy
Designed to reinforce the bed and bedroom as a space for sleep, not activities like working, watching TV, or worrying.
By focusing on the underlying behaviors and thought processes that affect sleep, BSM clinics aim to provide long-term relief from sleep disorders without the need for medications.
