Insomnia Treatment in Germantown MD
Thank you for visiting my website.
If you are seeking experienced and professional treatment and therapy for insomnia for you or a loved one in the Germantown MD area, please read on.
My name is Brian A. Sharpless, Ph.D., and I am a licensed clinical psychologist trained at the University of Pennsylvania and Penn State University with over 20 years of experience treating insomnia and other sleep disorders. In addition, I am a published author on sleep disorders and other professional topics and frequent lecturer in the US and Europe.
Your Successful Outcome is My Goal
Insomnia can have significant impacts on your health, well-being, work productivity, and overall quality of life. The good news is that - with proper treatment - insomnia can be helped through a combination of psychotherapy and lifestyle modification. I provide the current gold-standard treatment approach, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). The main goals of this short-term treatment are to correct problems in your sleeping habits and improve both your sleep duration and sleep efficiency. It has been effectively used in a number of clinical trials and the results have been published in top-tiered, peer-reviewed journals
Professional Therapy is Not an Open-ended Commitment
I consider the ultimate goal of any therapy to be self-reliance (i.e., no longer needing therapy). How long it takes to reach that goal is unique to each patient's needs, level of severity, and personal motivation. In general, though, CBT-I is a brief (and effective) treatment for insomnia.
