Time: 1 - 4 pm (including breaks)

Location: Online via Zoom only

Price: This is an OHIP covered service. A fully-refundable deposit is required to secure your spot in the group and to act as payment for any missed sessions as OHIP does not pay for missed sessions.

Description: Is it time to reduce or eliminate your need for sleeping pills? Join Dr. Amy Alexander for this 5-session course specifically designed for people struggling with sleep difficulties. 

The CBT-I techniques in this course were developed at Harvard Medical School and can help reduce insomnia and sleeping pill use in 70-80% of people who take it.

In this course, you will also be introduced to Somatic Internal Family Systems therapy and iRest (Integrative Restoration) practices which are evidence-based treatments for insomnia and other health issues.

This course will benefit people who:

• struggle with getting to sleep or staying asleep;

• deal with sleep-wake cycle challenges;

• are committed to making real changes in their lives to help their bodies and minds relax into rest;

• are able to commit to all groups sessions, as well as daily, prescribed, Mind-Body Medicine practices;

• willing to agree to the policies and group guidelines. 

Please note: This group is not a substitute for ongoing, individual psychotherapy.

Please contact Dr. Amy Alexander for to see if you're a good candidate for the group, or for more details about the course.
