CBT - I Experience: 1 - 5 Years
My journey in social work began with a strong sense of purpose and a commitment to advocacy. I pursued my graduate studies in Social Work and then additional training in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I treat a wide range of mental health conditions, including insomnia. Together we will collaborate on a tailored treatment plan that includes re-evaluating thought patterns, developing healthy coping strategies for sleep, and cultivating a sense of self-efficacy in managing insomnia and related concerns.

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. Bad sleep can have a profound impact on so many things, including our mood and anxiety, relationships, outlook on life, and productivity. 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.
I earned a degree in Psychology (B.A.) from The George Washington University before conducting research on anxiety at The George Washington University Hospital. I earned a Master’s of Counseling Psychology (M.A.) from New York University and a ma ...

Hi, I’m Magdalena. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)—the gold-standard, evidence-based approach for chronic sleep issues. Chronic sleeplessness is more than just tiredness; it directly impacts your emotional resilience, amplifying anxiety, low mood, and burnout by keeping your nervous system in constant overdrive. Restoring your sleep is often the single most powerful key to restoring your emotional well-being.
My therapeutic style integrates coaching and is warm, gentle, and deeply collaborative. I don't hand down rigid rules; instead, we work side by side as partners to break the cycle of bedtime dread, quiet racing thoughts, and reset your natural sleep rhythms. Beyond CBT-I, I offer compassionate, depth-oriented support for high-functioning teens, you ...

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 ...

Since completing my doctorate over 10 years ago, my clinical practice has included working with individuals with a broad range of mental health disorders at both the VA and in the community using medication management and psychotherapeutic strategies (ACT and DBT).
