Sleep Disorders

What is this service?

Our sleep-disorders treatment service supports people dealing with insomnia and other sleep problems. Our psychologists work with both children and adults and provide sleep-hygiene counselling, CBT-I therapy and relaxation techniques.

Insomnia, sudden awakenings, sleep apnea and other sleep disturbances are addressed. Therapy focuses not only on medication but on behavioural change and sleep-habit formation.
