Suffering from Insomnia?

Are you tired of counting sheep? At Flourish, we understand just how stressful insomnia can be. With our evidence-based and compassionately delivered care, you can finally experience the restful sleep you deserve.

Why Intuitive Sleep Fixes Might Be Hurting Instead of Helping

It's natural to try and fix poor sleep with what seems like straightforward solutions. Many of us have found ourselves attempting to go to bed earlier, reaching for melatonin, or deciding to sleep in whenever we can. Some even cancel plans if they think they'll be up too late or eliminate all blue light before bed, thinking this will ensure a good night's sleep. Unfortunately, these intuitive fixes often backfire. Instead of solving the problem, they alone can maintain your sleep issues long after the initial cause has vanished.

Our minds and bodies are far more complex than we often give them credit for, and frequently, the actions we think will help can disrupt the natural rhythm our bodies need for restful sleep. Remember, you're not alone in this journey to better sleep - around 30% of adults (or 1 in 3) have reported experiencing symptoms of insomnia in their lifetime.

Introducing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)

Say goodbye to restless nights with CBT-I, the gold standard in insomnia treatment, that even outshines sleep medication in the long run. Our holistic approach involves an in-depth assessment of both daytime functioning as well as your sleep patterns. We will screen for other sleep-related disorders which may be contributing to your sleep concerns and refer out appropriately for work-up, diagnosis, and/or treatment.

We will ask about any co-occuring conditions such as PTSD, chronic pain, depression, or anxiety. Don’t worry! It’s common to be experiencing more than just sleep problems - humans are complex. But, it’s important to know that research supports treating sleep concerns first in most cases. In fact, by addressing sleep issues first, you may find that treating other health concerns becomes much more effective.
