Dr. Janet Kennedy is a clinical psychologist and the founder of NYC Sleep Doctor, a psychotherapy and consulting practice dedicated to addressing behavioral sleep disorders. With more than 20 years of specialized experience, Dr. Kennedy uses scientifically proven techniques to help her clients break out of the cycle of bad sleep, stop relying on sleep aids, and restore normal, healthy sleep patterns.
Dr. Kennedy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), and evidence-based treatment protocol proven to be more effective and longer lasting than medication for treating insomnia and other behavioral sleep problems. Most of her clients see improvement within a few sessions. And, although CBT-I does not require in-depth psychotherapy or treatment/resolution of other mood or anxiety symptoms, some of Dr. Kennedy's clients stay on to work with her on those issues using CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and insight-oriented therapy and coaching.
Dr. Kennedy is based in New York City but practices exclusively via telehealth. This allows her to provide treatment to clients throughout New York State as well as New Jersey, Connecticut and Florida, where she is licensed to provide telehealth.
