Insomnia Treatment in Everett, WA
Rest is part of healing. Let’s get you sleeping again.
Help for trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking unrefreshed — especially when sleep and mental health are tangled together.
Insomnia in adults.
Poor sleep and mental health feed each other. Anxiety keeps your mind racing at night; depression can bring early waking or sleeping too much; and a few weeks of bad sleep can make every other symptom harder to manage.
Insomnia is common and treatable. We look at what’s keeping you up — stress, mood, habits, medications, or a combination — and build a plan that addresses the cause rather than just the symptom.
Common signs
- Taking a long time to fall asleep
- Waking in the night and not getting back to sleep
- Waking too early
- Feeling unrefreshed despite time in bed
- Racing thoughts at bedtime
- Daytime fatigue, irritability, or poor focus
- Relying on alcohol or sleep aids to fall asleep
- Sleep problems lasting more than a few weeks
Only a qualified clinician can diagnose a mental health condition. If several of these sound familiar, an evaluation is a good next step.
Insomnia treatment, step by step.
Care led by Annabel Sema, MSN, ARNP, PMHNP-BC — a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 10+ years of experience.

CBT-I Strategies
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the recommended first-line treatment for chronic insomnia. We use its proven techniques to retrain your sleep.
Treat What’s Underneath
When anxiety, depression, or trauma is driving the insomnia, treating that condition often improves sleep too.

How telehealth worksCommon questions.

What is CBT-I?
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia is a structured approach that changes the habits and thought patterns that keep insomnia going. Research supports it as a first-line treatment for chronic insomnia.

Very often, yes. Sleep problems are a common feature of both, and improving one usually helps the other.
