At Sala Psychology, we understand the profound impact insomnia can have on your well-being. We treat insomnia using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), which is a very effective treatment (with 50-75% of individuals attaining clinically significant improvements in sleep). We will work with you to set a sleep schedule, improve your sleep hygiene, identify and eliminate habits that may be contributing to insomnia, learn to relax, reduce arousal/anxiety when going to bed, and reduce sleep related worry. We use mindfulness and acceptance strategies to manage unhelpful thoughts and beliefs about sleep.
Through out work together, we will help you rediscover the joy of waking up refreshed and ready to embrace each day with vitality.
