Anna Guha
I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist. My Grow practice is focused exclusively on insomnia. I work with clients who have difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, waking too early, or feeling anxious and frustrated about sleep.
I use cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused approaches to help clients identify patterns, reduce symptoms, and build practical skills they can use between sessions.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), a structured, evidence-based treatment that addresses the thoughts and behaviors that keep insomnia going. Our sessions will focus specifically on understanding and improving your sleep rather than providing general therapy for unrelated concerns. We will use sleep tracking and practical strategies tailored to your patterns, with the goal of helping you sleep more consistently and feel more confident in your ability to manage occasional difficult nights.
First session
In our first session, we will review your sleep history, current sleep patterns, and the factors that may be keeping your insomnia going. You will learn how CBT-I works and leave with a clear plan for tracking your sleep so that treatment can be tailored to you.
Strengths
My greatest strengths as a therapist are my ability to quickly understand what’s getting in the way, help clients clarify goals, and translate insight into practical change. I’m direct, collaborative, and focused on helping clients reduce symptoms by identifying patterns and using tools they can apply between sessions. Clients often tell me they value my clear feedback, grounded presence, and the sense of momentum they feel in our work together.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who struggles to fall asleep, stay asleep, or return to sleep after waking too early. They may feel anxious about bedtime, frustrated by inconsistent sleep, or exhausted after trying sleep hygiene tips without lasting improvement. They are looking for a structured, evidence-based approach and are willing to track their sleep and practice new strategies between sessions.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i) to help clients understand and change the patterns that keep sleep problems going. We track sleep, identify unhelpful habits and thoughts about sleep, and use practical strategies to strengthen the connection between bed and sleep. Treatment is structured, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s needs and circumstances.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. Together, we identify patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, depression, or feeling stuck and explore more helpful ways of thinking and responding. My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to each client’s individual needs and goals.
