Sleep Difficulties
Restful nights start here.
Are you waking up exhausted despite a full night’s sleep? Struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, or waking up frequently in the middle of the night?
You’re not alone.
Sleep difficulties can affect every part of your life — draining your energy, clouding your mood, and making it harder to manage stress and focus on what truly matters to you.
At Momentum Behavioral Health, we understand how frustrating and overwhelming this can be — how deeply you long for change. That’s why we specialize in treating sleep difficulties using science-backed, evidence-based therapies designed to effectively help you get the restful sleep you deserve.
Our goal is simple: to help you restore healthy, restful sleep, reduce nighttime distress, and wake up feeling truly refreshed and recharged. Are you ready to take control of your sleep, your life, and start living to the fullest?
What we treat.
Insomnia.
If you struggle with falling asleep, staying asleep, and/or waking too early, you may be dealing with insomnia. It’s a common issue that affects about one-third of adults and can leave you feeling tired, irritable, and unable to concentrate, all of which impact your day-to-day life.
We specialize in treating insomnia using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) — the gold standard in treatment for insomnia. We also offer Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Insomnia (ACT-I).
CBT-I involves learning practical strategies to improve your sleep habits, including relaxation techniques and cognitive tools to address the thoughts that keep you awake. It also focuses on re-establishing a healthy sleep routine.
ACT-I emphasizes accepting the discomfort around sleep and learning how to respond to it in a way that allows you to rest without the pressure of "forcing" sleep.
Both therapies work to reduce the barriers to restful sleep and help you wake up feeling refreshed and energized.
Nightmares can be distressing and disruptive, preventing you from getting the restful sleep you need. Trauma-related nightmares, often linked to past traumatic experiences, can be particularly overwhelming, but even idiopathic nightmares — those with no obvious cause — can cause anxiety and lead to avoiding sleep.
We specialize in treating both trauma-related and idiopathic nightmares. We use Exposure Relaxation and Rescripting Therapy (ERRT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Nightmares (CBT-N) — two evidence-based approaches proven to reduce both the frequency and intensity of nightmares.
ERRT involves working with the imagery of your nightmares in a gradual, safe way while incorporating relaxation techniques to help you feel calmer and reduce the emotional intensity.
CBT-N helps you identify and challenge the thoughts and beliefs related to your nightmares, while also teaching strategies to change the emotional and physiological response to them.
Both therapies help you change your emotional response to nightmares, ultimately leading to more peaceful nights.
Nightmares.
If you find yourself feeling particularly worried about your sleep, that anxiety can become a barrier to rest. This stress of trying to sleep often makes it even harder to relax, creating a frustrating cycle that keeps you from getting the rest you need.
To help break this cycle, we use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT focuses on accepting the discomfort that comes with sleep anxiety rather than fighting it. By learning to let go of the need to control and focusing on values and long-term well-being, you can reduce the mental resistance around sleep. This approach helps you find peace with your sleep and regain restful nights.
Sleep Anxiety.
Hypersomnia is characterized by feeling extremely sleepy during the day or sleeping for long periods at night, even after getting a full night’s rest. This can make it hard to stay awake and alert throughout the day, affecting your work, social life, and overall productivity.
To address hypersomnia, we use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Hypersomnia (CBT-H) — an evidence-based therapy that targets the thoughts and behaviors contributing to excessive sleepiness, such as irregular sleep patterns or unhealthy sleep habits. Through CBT-H, we help you create a more balanced sleep schedule and improve your overall energy levels, so you can regain control over your day and experience better focus and alertness.
Hypersomnia.
Sleep apnea is a condition where your breathing temporarily stops and starts during sleep, leading to disrupted rest at night and feeling tired during the day. The most common form, obstructive sleep apnea, can cause loud snoring, gasping for air during sleep, and feeling unusually sleepy or fatigued throughout the day.
A CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine is the most effective treatment for sleep apnea, helping keep your airways open during sleep. However, many people struggle with CPAP adherence due to discomfort, anxiety, or negative associations with the device.
We help clients improve their CPAP adherence through CPAP Adherence Therapy. This approach addresses barriers such as discomfort and anxiety, helping you build a consistent routine and develop a positive mindset around using your CPAP. We work with you to address concerns, overcome challenges, and ensure you can experience the full benefits of restful, uninterrupted sleep.
