Sleep Quality Counseling | Virtual Therapy | Alaska
Telehealth 8- and 10-week long CBTI (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) program for adults seeking to improve sleep quality, mental health, and physical health.
Sleep is vital to health and well-being and sleep disorders are common: the American Sleep Association estimates that 50 - 70 million Americans live with a sleep disorder.
Comorbid conditions of sleep disorders are: anxiety, depression, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), heart disease, chronic pain, breathing problems, neurological problems, and diabetes.
Other groups that experience high rates of sleep disorders are parents of young children, college students, shift workers, and people living with a chronic illness.
CBTI is an evidence-based treatment I use to help clients find the skills to:
- Develop sleep-inducing behaviors
- Reduce the intensity & duration of racing thoughts while laying in bed
- Wake up feeling fully rested and refreshed
Group therapy is an affordable way to access therapy while healing in connection with other people. Many people experience faster results in group therapy than individual therapy.
If you are interested in this program and do not believe group therapy is the right fit, you can contact me for individual therapy services.

Additional Info:
This therapist-led counseling group will provide group members with a supportive environment to learn new information and practice new skills.
Sleep is incredibly important to physical and mental health at any age.
People most at risk of sleep disorders include parents, shift workers, and people with mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
To help promote healthy sleep practices I encourage clients to make small behavioral and thought changes with intentional reflection, while utilizing the experiences each group member brings.
These groups help clients find practical and helpful changes to wake up feeling energized.
