Staying up late or waking up in the middle of the night and finding it impossible to go back to sleep? We offer CBT-I, a first line treatment for insomnia, proven to improve sleep and reduce sleeping pill use in 90% of clients.
Insomnia happens when we have difficulty falling or staying asleep. Most people experience some insomnia at some point in their lives, but chronic insomnia (3+ nights/week for 3+ months), can particularly concerning, as it can impact our mood, daily functioning, and overall health.
Chronic insomnia can cause irritability and low mood. Insomnia can also increase anxiety and worry about sleep that can make it more difficult for you to obtain quality sleep over time.
Chronic lack of restorative sleep can also impact your energy levels, your performance and productivity at work or school, and your ability to take care of daily responsibilities.
Poor sleep can lead to habits that negatively affect overall health, like consuming caffeine or stimulants to stay awake, drinking alcohol to fall asleep, or skipping exercise because of daytime fatigue.
Although it can feel daunting to tackle your insomnia, the good news is that there are proven methods to treat chronic insomnia and improve your quality of life.
At Coronado Psych, we offer Cognitive- Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), a form of therapy specifically designed to help clients improve their nighttime sleep. CBT-I works by directly addressing your the sleep-related thoughts and behaviors that cause chronic insomnia. It is a safe and effective treatment for those struggling to get a good night’s rest.
We are now accepting new clients and are providing therapy and counseling services through telephone and secure video-conferencing.
We invite you to schedule an initial consultation to learn more about our services.

I never planned on expanding my practice to Coronado during a global pandemic. Just a few months ago, I was busy carefully laying out detailed plans and timelines to grow my practice here. And then, suddenly, all these plans came to a halt.
