Sarah Kate McGowan Featured
I specialize in the treatment of insomnia, nightmares, circadian rhythm disorders, PAP adherence, and other sleep disorders that would benefit from a behavioral approach. Sleep difficulties are often overlooked and yet they undermine our mood, productivity, creativity, memory, and overall health. Whether you recently started having difficulty with sleep or it's been a long standing problem, there are highly effective treatments that do NOT involve the use of medications. In fact, if you are currently taking medications for sleep but would like to reduce or eliminate them, I can help. If anxious thoughts are interfering with your sleep, we can find ways to reduce the impact that anxiety has on your sleep.
With over a decade of experience, I help individuals reach their goals by adapting ...

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 ...

Do you ever feel like bedtime isn't a relief, but a punishment? Like you're walking toward the gallows instead of toward rest?
Do you wake up in the middle of the night, stare at the ceiling, and mutter—"Not again"?
Maybe you've tried the teas, the blackout curtains, the apps, the influencers' rituals. And yet… still awake.
If so, you're in good company. I've specialized in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) for over 10 years, and I've seen this exact pattern hundreds of times—in clients who now sleep soundly.
Renowned clinical psychologist, Marsha Linehan, once said that when we're distressed, we really only have three choices: change the way we think, change the way we act, or remain utterly miserable. And if you've struggled with insomnia for any length of time ...
