Sleep Disorder Treatment in Northern Virginia
Thank you for visiting my website.
If you are seeking experienced and professional treatment and therapy for sleep disorders for you or a loved one in the Northern Virginia 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, parasomnias, and other sleep disorders. In addition, I am a published author on a sleep disorders and other professional topics and a frequent lecturer in the US and Europe.
Your Successful Outcome is My Goal
Some sleep disorders receive a good bit of public attention (e.g., insomnia) whereas others are less well-known (e.g., isolated sleep paralysis, nightmare disorder, exploding head syndrome, sexsomnia, REM behavior disorder). Regardless of the specific subtype, any sleep disorder can have significant impacts on your health, well-being, work productivity, and overall quality of life. The good news is that - with proper treatment - many can be helped through a combination of psychotherapy and certain lifestyle modifications.
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. Treatment for some disorders (e.g., insomnia; isolated sleep paralysis) can be relatively brief whereas others might take more time.
