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 conditions.

Insomnia Can be Treated
Insomnia can have significant impacts on your health, well-being, work , 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 more than 200 clinical trials and the results have been published in top-tiered, peer-reviewed journals
Cognitive-Behavior Therapy For Insomnia (CBT-I) is Generally a Short-Term Treatment
I consider the ultimate goal of any therapy to be 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 short-term and effective treatment for insomnia.
