Sleep Disorders
At Mindset, we recognize the profound effect that sleep disorders can have on your daily life. Whether you’re experiencing difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or struggling with daytime drowsiness, our team is here to help you overcome these challenges. Sleep is vital to both physical and mental health, and we’re committed to supporting you in regaining a restful night’s sleep.
What Are Sleep Disorders?
Sleep disorders refer to a wide variety of conditions that interfere with your ability to get restful, uninterrupted sleep. These disorders can range from trouble falling asleep (insomnia) to more severe issues like sleep apnea, where breathing stops and starts during sleep. Sleep disorders often lead to poor quality of life, affecting your ability to focus, maintain emotional balance, and perform daily tasks effectively. Stress, anxiety, physical conditions, and poor sleep habits are common triggers. At Mindset, we offer comprehensive treatment plans that not only address your sleep difficulties but also focus on improving your overall well-being. By identifying and targeting the root causes, we help you regain restorative sleep that leads to improved mood, cognition, and physical health.
Types of Sleep Disorders We Treat
Sleep disorders come in many forms, each affecting individuals in unique and often challenging ways. Whether it’s difficulty falling or staying asleep, restless nights, or persistent daytime fatigue, the impact of poor sleep can extend far beyond tiredness—it can influence mood, focus, relationships, and overall health. Left untreated, these issues may contribute to long-term physical and emotional concerns such as anxiety, depression, and reduced immune function.
At Mindset Psychology, we specialize in treating a wide range of sleep disorders through evidence-based, individualized care. Our therapeutic approach addresses both the physical and psychological components that contribute to disrupted sleep, from stress and lifestyle habits to underlying mental health conditions. By combining cognitive-behavioral strategies, relaxation techniques, and practical sleep hygiene education, we help clients restore balance, develop healthier sleep patterns, and experience meaningful, lasting improvements in their overall well-being.
The Importance of Sleep Disorders
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, in the United States, an estimated 17.3 million adults (7.1% of the U.S. population) have had at least one major depressive episode in the past year. Fortunately, there are various types of therapies available that can help individuals overcome depression. Here are some of the most common types of depression therapies
Insomnia
Insomnia, the most common sleep disorder, involves persistent difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early without being able to return to sleep. This condition can lead to daytime fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. At Mindset, we use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), an evidence-based approach that helps individuals break the cycle of sleeplessness by addressing the negative thoughts and behaviors contributing to poor sleep. Through gradual behavioral changes, relaxation techniques, and sleep hygiene education, we guide you towards achieving better, uninterrupted sleep.
Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)
Restless Leg Syndrome is a neurological disorder that causes an uncontrollable urge to move the legs, typically during periods of rest or sleep. This discomfort can make falling asleep difficult and lead to frequent awakenings during the night. At Mindset, we work with you to develop strategies to minimize the discomfort caused by RLS, improve sleep quality, and reduce the overall impact on your daily life.
Sleep Apnea-Related Anxiety
Sleep apnea is a potentially serious condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, leading to poor sleep quality and other health risks. Although sleep apnea is treated medically, the associated anxiety and stress can be overlooked. At Mindset, we provide therapy aimed at reducing the anxiety that may come with the condition, addressing any fears around treatment, and helping you develop healthier habits for managing sleep apnea-related challenges.
Narcolepsy
Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden sleep attacks. Individuals with narcolepsy often experience disrupted nighttime sleep, which exacerbates their daytime symptoms. At Mindset, we help manage narcolepsy by providing cognitive and behavioral interventions that help you cope with the emotional and functional impacts of the disorder. Our goal is to reduce the disruptive effects on your daily life and improve your ability to manage this complex condition.
How We Help You Sleep Better
At Mindset Psychology, we believe that restful sleep is the foundation of emotional balance, physical health, and overall well-being. Our holistic approach to treating sleep disorders goes beyond simply improving sleep duration — it focuses on restoring harmony between the body and mind. Every individual experiences sleep challenges differently, which is why our treatments are tailored to your specific needs, lifestyle, and underlying causes.
We understand that sleep difficulties are often intertwined with stress, anxiety, trauma, or other emotional concerns. Instead of masking symptoms, our goal is to help you uncover and resolve the root factors contributing to your disrupted sleep. Using evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), mindfulness techniques, and behavioral interventions, we create a supportive environment where healing and change can naturally occur.
Through this comprehensive, personalized care, we help you rebuild a healthier relationship with rest—empowering you to wake up feeling restored, focused, and ready to embrace each day with renewed energy and clarity.
