Aviva Gaskill Featured
I attended Yeshiva University's Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology for a PhD in Clinical Psychology with Health Emphasis and graduated in 2011. While there, I learned about health psychology and received lectures on CBT-I from doctoral level providers at Montefiore Hospital and researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. I continue to work with children, young adults, adults, and older adults utilizing CBT-I. Because I often work with individuals managing chronic pain and fatigue (and a variety of medical conditions where sleep is directly impacted such as multiple sclerosis and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome), these skills have served me well and been incredibly useful in my practice. I am a practitioner listed through the Penn MS Center as well as many other clinics and receive re ...

Amy Karbasi Featured
I have been in practice for over 15 years and have extensive experience in treating insomnia and other sleep disorders. I underwent intensive training and consultation in CBT-I at a medical center and have been certified in this treatment since 2021. I provide CBT-I in my practice on a regular basis, and find this to be one of the most fulfilling and rewarding treatments to offer. I spend 1-2 sessions thoroughly assessing sleep to ensure CBT-I is the right fit, to comprehensively understand your sleep issues, and develop a treatment plan that is thorough and uniquely tailored to you. While this is a structured treatment, it is important to be flexible and adapt the treatment to each person's needs.

Lydia MacDonald Featured
Chronic insomnia is very debilitating. During bouts of disrupted sleep, it can feel like your sleep system is broken and it will never work again. When you haven’t slept well in many weeks, it becomes difficult to think of anything else except “how can I or when will I sleep again?”
Unfortunately, during these periods of poor sleep we tend to engage in behaviors that may feel good in the short term (napping, spending excessive time in bed, going to bed very early, resting a lot, conserving energy, delaying living) but these coping behaviors actually perpetuate insomnia.
During CBTi, I will ask you to complete daily sleep diaries so I can get a very clear understanding of how you are currently sleeping and I want to know your “sleep story” – how your insomnia began, and what thoug ...

Hello. My name is Dr. Randy Nolte. I have been in practice for over 15 years now and I am obsessed with sleep - how to understand sleep issues, how to improve the quality of sleep, and how to enhance the way we feel during the day.

Many of my clients are wanting to improve the quality of their sleep and improve the quality of their time spent awake. I have found CBT-I to be an essential part of this process.
