Break the cycle of bad sleep and reclaim your energy, ambition and happiness
Licensed clinical psychologist providing online sleep therapy in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Arizona and Florida.
Sleep is a natural, essential bodily function. Then why is it so hard?
You’re living in a constant state of exhaustion–and fear. You’re afraid that you won’t be able to sleep, that tomorrow is going to be a disaster and that you’ll never feel rested.
You’ve probably read about what to do and you’ve tried a few things. Or maybe you’re relying on medications or supplements that leave you feeling groggy, don’t work consistently, and have long-term health risks.
It can happen out of the blue, creep up slowly, or be a lifelong problem.
Maybe you’ve never been a good sleeper, or maybe your sleep took a turn when you were in a stressful period at work, when you lost someone close to you, or when you hit perimenopause. You start to dread nighttime. And you’re reading all of these terrible stories about how this will affect you down the road – your weight, your cognitive functioning, your lifespan.
Your work, your mood, and your relationships are suffering, too.
You’re going through the motions. You’re irritable and detached. You’re not taking risks and you’re not moving forward. It’s hard to be there for your family, your friends, and your colleagues when you’re a zombie.

You don’t have to settle for exhaustion.
I’m Dr. Janet Kennedy
I am passionate about change and I want to help you to turn a corner in your life, to overcome the obstacles that stand between you and where you want to be. You might not even be able to think about where or what that is – because you’re so tired. The first step is to get your sleep on track.
I have been helping people break out of the cycle of bad sleep for over 20 years. Starting at the VA in the early aughts and moving on to private practice in 2008, I have dedicated my career to this one thing. I have honed my ability to quickly identify the thoughts, emotions and behaviors that are keeping you stuck. And I will make sure that the strategies we use will move your needle and fit into your life. Change can be scary, especially when you’re struggling.
I have the experience to guide you through this process with the knowledge and compassion that gets results.
