Insomnia refers to a sleep disorder that does not let a person fall asleep, sleep for a long amount of time, or sleep well enough to feel strong in the morning. Even if initially insomnia is caused by temporary stress, disruptions in your schedule, or too much caffeine you consume in the evening, it can easily turn into a serious concern followed by mental health struggles and physical hardships. Sometimes insomnia can disappear just as quickly as it started but do not wait for a long time for it to go away especially if it becomes an obstacle that stops you from fulfilling your responsibilities and enjoying your life the way you were used to.

Although insomnia is one of the most obvious disorders to recognize, only a mental health specialist can tell you if you have it and advise you on the best course of treatment. Still, there are certain symptoms you can notice in yourself and people you are close to in order to identify the presence of insomnia:
Inability to Fall Asleep
Fatigue After Sleep
Inability to Nap
Waking Up at Night
Irritability
Lack of Concentration
There are many therapeutic approaches when it comes to insomnia counseling. Every patient has their unique challenges and problems so we are committed to finding out what works for every client who seeks our help. Here is a brief overview of the treatment for insomnia available at Los Angeles Mental Health:
Traditional talking therapy is usually the first treatment option for a person suffering from insomnia. Talking to a therapist in a private setting, you can voice your needs out loud, learn how to relax and let go, and deal with life stressors.
CBT is considered a valuable tool in the process of insomnia recovery. Cognitive restructuring will rewire your brain - you will identify negative thought patterns that prevent you from relaxing and sleeping and replace them with positive affirmations to feel good during the day and night.
Family counseling resonates well with people who have trouble sleeping at night. Whether you have neverending arguments with your spouse or your issues with your parents and siblings cause you to suffer in silence, it is important to deal with these problems with every person involved present.
Trauma often leads to recurring nightmares and causes severe anxiety so that the person cannot fall asleep - their mind is overwhelmed with intrusive thoughts and images that remind them about their difficult past. Trauma therapy will allow you to recognize what triggers your emotional dysregulation, process the events you have tried to ignore, and cultivate a more positive outlook.
A qualified psychiatrist will be able to select the right medication for insomnia after assessing your health and learning more about prescription drugs you may be using already. Most sleeping pills are rather harmless - as long as you follow the instructions - and antidepressants with a sedating effect can improve your sleeping patterns very quickly.
During the course of treatment, we will show you how you can change your life and practice self-care to ensure you no longer struggle with disrupted sleep. Regular physical activity, nutrients and vitamins, and mindfulness exercises are going to help you sleep better every night.
Individualized Approach
Insomnia therapy comes in different shapes and forms – what does wonders for one person, changes nothing in the life of another individual. We will evaluate you, learn more about your medical history, and examine the symptoms of insomnia and other mental health issues you may have to select the best therapy options for you – moreover, we will adjust the plan of treatment to suit your preferences and needs.

The main reason a person is not sleeping well for weeks and months is the cumulative stress caused by personal and professional difficulties. Many people also do not take care of their bodies – they overeat at night, they drink too much coffee and alcohol, and they do not pay attention to the vitamins and nutrients they require to function normally. Chronic insomnia can also be a symptom of a mental health disorder such as depression or PTSD which should compel you to seek mental health advice as soon as you can.
Most insomnia clinics utilize this therapy modality to get rid of long-term insomnia. Under the guidance of a therapist, you will recognize thought patterns that are wrong, identify the notions and ideas that cause you to overthink and overwhelm you, and substitute them with thought patterns aimed at improving your general wellness.
Insomnia can be a direct consequence of these disorders as well as a separate problem that was exacerbated due to untreated mood disorders or ADHD. A mental health professional you work with will inform you about the potential link between insomnia and another condition you need to address and pick therapy modalities that will target insomnia as a part of depression treatment, anxiety treatment, or ADHD treatment.
In addition to therapy modalities, you can also rely on a holistic approach – we can provide you with guidance and advice you can implement in your daily routine long after your treatment is over. Yoga, meditation, visualization, body scan, aromatherapy, and art therapy will enhance your quality of life and eliminate the emotional turmoil that does not allow you to sleep.
The treatment strategy is always approved by our patients – if you do not want to take any prescription drugs to combat insomnia, you will not be forced to do so. Still, we will suggest you to try sleeping pills that have little to no adverse effects on your physical and mental state so that you can see for yourself that medication management can play a major role in the restoration of your sleep.
