Are You Struggling With Insomnia?

Home » Areas of Specialty » Insomnia

Insomnia is difficulty falling and staying asleep. For a diagnosis of insomnia, someone must experience sleeplessness at least three days a week for at least three months. Lack of sleep affects people in their everyday lives and can be detrimental to their physical and mental health.

Available Treatment Options

Counseling interventions include cognitive, behavioral, and emotional strategies depending on each person’s individual needs. A therapist may examine a person’s thought patterns related to sleep. Counselors may use behavioral tactics, such as stimulus control or establishing routines for bedtime. Additionally, if the insomnia is related to a trauma disorder, the therapist may attempt to help the person process those emotions and concerns.
