Sleep
Individual CBT-I Therapy
You were the person who could sleep anywhere. Then the baby came, the nights fractured, and your brain never learned how to switch back off.
I see you.
You are the mom who lies awake doing the math: If I fall asleep right now, I'll get four hours. You watch the clock. You dread the bed. You have started to fear the sun going down, because you know exactly what's coming. Another night of exhaustion, followed by another day of pretending you're fine - at work, with the baby, with your partner, with everyone who keeps telling you to 'just sleep when the baby sleeps.'
This is not who you used to be.
Before motherhood, sleep was something you didn't think about. You closed your eyes, and it happened. Somewhere along the way - a stretch of bad nights, a stressful season, the relentless hypervigilance of new parenthood - your brain learned to stay alert after dark. And now, even on the nights the baby sleeps through, you can't. You have tried the tips. You have tried the magnesium. You have tried the apps. None of it sticks, because none of it addresses why your brain is doing this in the first place.
The part nobody warned you about.
You are a high-achiever. You solve problems for a living. So the fact that you cannot solve this one - the one that would give you back your functioning, your patience, your sense of self - is the thing that breaks you the most. The harder you try to force sleep, the further it slides away. And the guilt of being exhausted, of snapping, of being a half-present version of the mother you want to be, sits on your chest every single morning.
Here is what changes in therapy.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the first-line treatment recommended by the American College of Physicians, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and the American Psychological Association - before sleep medication. It does not mask the problem. It reverses it. Over our individual sessions, we will retrain your brain to associate bed with sleep, collapse your sleep window so your sleep becomes deep and consolidated, and dismantle the thought patterns that keep the cycle going. No pills. No dependency. Just a proven protocol that works - often in as few as four to six weeks.
What working together actually looks like.
We start with a thorough intake so I understand exactly how your insomnia started, what sustains it, and what else is going on medically and emotionally. From there we meet weekly, tracking your sleep with a simple diary and adjusting your protocol in real time. Every prescription - your sleep window, your stimulus control rules, your wind-down ritual - is calibrated to you, session by session. You leave each session with a specific plan, not vague advice, and we measure your progress in concrete numbers, not just feelings.
Why one-on-one.
Working individually means your treatment is built entirely around your sleep diary, your schedule, and your history. Some moms prefer the privacy and pace of individual work; others use it to fast-track results before life gets in the way. Either way, you get the full protocol, not a watered-down version - delivered privately, and personalized to exactly what your nights look like.
Imagine a new you.
Picture yourself six weeks from now: the house is quiet, and you are already asleep. You didn't earn it, you didn't fight for it, you didn't even think about it. You wake before the baby and feel clear-headed - present, steady, and like yourself again. The anxious calculations are gone. Sleep just happens, the way it used to, before any of this started.
Who this is for.
What you will learn.
You do not have to keep running on empty, and you do not have to wait for motherhood to slow down before you can rest. Individual CBT-I is the gold-standard treatment, and the change can happen faster than you think. Book a free 20-minute consultation and let's talk about getting your sleep - and yourself - back.
Prefer a cohort?
The full CBT-I protocol is also available as a small-group program - the accountability and shared experience of a cohort at a lower per-session rate.
