Kathryn E. (Kathy) Angell Featured
If a medical doctor has ruled out medical causes of your sleep difficulties, it is likely that I am in a good position to help you. Sleep problems can stem from such wide-ranging causes as depressed mood, grief, intrusive distressing thoughts that won't leave you alone -- even if you don't really believe them, traumatic events in your past, life stress, how much coffee/caffeine you drink, pain, and unhelpful sleep habits or thoughts about sleep. I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and Certified Gottman Couples Therapist who has specialized expertise in identifying the root of your sleep problem and related difficulties and in treating these problems using specific interventions for each of the above causes that scientific research has demonstrated to be effective in reducing your sleep ...

Leon Li-Hsiang Yang Featured
Hello, I’m Leon Yang (楊里祥), a licensed counseling psychologist based in Taipei, Taiwan. I work with adults struggling with sleep difficulties — lying awake unable to fall asleep, waking repeatedly through the night, rising too early, or never feeling rested. Insomnia often shows up alongside stress, anxiety, or life transitions, and tends to develop a life of its own: the harder you try to sleep, the more elusive sleep becomes.
My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia recommended by international sleep guidelines — more effective and durable than sleep medications long-term. CBT-I targets the real engines of chronic insomnia: weakened sleep drive, disrupted circadian rhythm, conditioned arousal in the b ...

Cathy Bykowski, Ph.D. Featured
You’re exhausted but can’t turn your brain off at night. Maybe you lie awake replaying to-do lists, worrying about what’s ahead, or counting the hours you have left to sleep. Some nights you fall asleep quickly, other nights you’re still wide awake at 2 a.m. You’re tired of tossing, turning, and dragging through your days.
I’m a health psychologist who helps people break the cycle between stress, poor sleep, and health problems. Stress, burnout, and emotional strain can lead to sleep difficulties, weight gain, high blood pressure, and trouble managing conditions like diabetes or chronic illness. At the same time, health issues can affect your mood, motivation, and daily habits — leaving you stuck in a frustrating loop.
