Are you often battling fatigue, tossing and turning at night, or finding yourself waking up before your alarm? Perhaps you're a self-described night owl. Or maybe you're troubled by how your sleep—or lack thereof—is affecting your health, your mood, and your ability to navigate daily life. If any of this resonates with you, then it's time to explore a solution tailored specifically to your needs. Welcome, I'm Dr. Mark Rosenblum, a Sleep Psychologist with over 15 years of experience providing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), the gold standard treatment for persistent insomnia, and the cornerstone of my practice.

Are you anxious, feeling stuck, or not sleeping? Does it seem harder for you to navigate life stressors than it does for other people? If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Depression, anxiety, and insomnia are common reasons people seek help. Whether you’re dealing with one or a combination of these issues, it might be hard to fully engage with the world, resulting in missed opportunities or an inability to experience the meaningful life you deserve. We all experience anxiety and depression, or have trouble sleeping at times, but if any of these have become obstacles for you, let’s work together to change that.

With over 50 years of psychotherapy experience, I specialize in anxiety management, relationship issues, depression, medical illness-related concerns and chronic insomnia.

Whether you are taking the first steps in seeking therapy or have a history of mental health care, reaching out to a new clinician can be a difficult and scary experience. It can also feel freeing and rewarding. Wherever you are in your journey and however it is you are feeling, I am honored to support you in such an important part of your life. I aim to learn about your struggles and help guide you through these difficult times. Through evidence-based practices and a collaborative approach to treatment, we will work to make the lasting change you are seeking for a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

I am a psychologist specializing in treatment of OCD, anxiety, and depression, including symptoms during pregnancy and postpartum. I provide cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and use exposure with response prevention (ERP) and mindfulness practices for treatment of OCD, panic disorders, specific phobias, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, depression, trichotillomania, body dysmorphic disorder, and sleep problems. I provide a CBT for Insomnia program (4 to 8 sessions) shown to have effective and lasting outcomes.

Do you feel stuck in a cycle of Anxiety and or Depression? Do you want help getting unstuck? Are you experiencing insomnia? Do you turn to your eating disorder to cope? Adrian can help!

Find freedom from problem-saturated stories and make room to prioritize your values and grow tolerance for distress. You can unhook from rigid patterns and learn more sustainable ways to accept and cope with challenges.

Thanks for choosing this courageous step in your journey toward improvement. Life can be challenging and it might take some time to overcome obstacles in our way.

As of early May, I have openings for new clients. I'm a practical, easygoing, and results-oriented therapist. We work in collaboration as partners, combining your goals with my research-proven techniques. These techniques include CBT, traditional talk therapy, a focus on improving SENS factors (sleep/exercise/nutrition/social), and others, always applied holistically and non-dogmatically. I do particularly well with issues that therapy has thus far failed to resolve. While traditional therapy focuses on exploring and understanding your issues, I make sure we take action, see real change, and prevent backsliding.
