Comprehensive Therapy for Adults

Our practice provides virtual psychotherapy tailored to each client's needs, experiences, and goals. We help adults address a range of concerns, including:

  • Insomnia and sleep difficulties

  • Anxiety, depression, and stress

  • Relationships and self-esteem

  • Health-related concerns

  • Grief, loss, and life transitions

Our approach is collaborative and individualized, drawing on evidence-based treatments to help clients better understand their challenges, develop practical strategies, and make meaningful progress. Treatment may include regular check-ins and standardized assessments to help monitor progress and adjust care as needed.

Specialized Insomnia Treatment: CBT-I

Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early can affect everything from mood and concentration to overall health and daily functioning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is an evidence-based, non-medication treatment recommended as the first-line approach for chronic insomnia in adults by the American College of Physicians and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

Unlike approaches focused solely on sleep hygiene, CBT-I addresses the thoughts, behaviors, and sleep patterns that contribute to ongoing sleep difficulties. Research has demonstrated its effectiveness in helping people fall asleep faster, spend less time awake during the night, and maintain improvements in sleep over time.

While many clinicians incorporate elements of CBT-I into treatment, Dr. Julie Kolzet has advanced fellowship-level training in Behavioral Sleep Medicine and CBT-I. This specialized background informs her approach to assessing and treating chronic insomnia, including sleep difficulties that occur alongside other mental or physical health concerns.

Both clinicians offer limited evening and weekend appointments to accommodate busy schedules.

You don't need to have a specific concern or goal in mind to begin therapy. Both clinicians work with a broad range of concerns and can help you explore what's bringing you to treatment, even if you're not quite sure where to start.
