Providing Telehealth Services Throughout New Jersey
Every evening, the struggle to get your child to sleep leaves you feeling drained. You tiptoe around bedtime routines, bracing for another long night and hoping, just this once, for a smooth bedtime.
What if bedtime could feel different?
Imagine...
• Your child peacefully settling into bed with a smile
• Having your child fall asleep within 15 minutes
• Feeling confident that your child will stay asleep throughout the night
• Knowing your child will get 8 hours of sleep each night
• Finally having a moment to catch your breath
• Having time to spend with your partner or other children
• Actually getting a full night sleep yourself
...without having fear and anxiety around bedtime.
Center for Restorative Behavior, LLC provides sleep support for children ages 2-17.
Does it take your child a long time to fall asleep?
It might sound too good to be true, but together, we can set up a system in which your child can consistently fall asleep within 15 minutes.
Does your child need you or another adult present in order to fall asleep?
A lot of children struggle with falling asleep on their own. It can be a big step for children (and parents) to move towards independence. We'll give you the tools to painlessly fade your presence so that your child can go from needing you by their side to being able to fall asleep on their own.
Does your child wake frequently throughout the night? Do they seek you out and need you by their side in order to fall back asleep?
Individuals wake frequently throughout the night. It's being able to fall back to sleep independently and quickly that's the key! We'll work together to teach your child to fall asleep independently from the start. So, when they do wake during the night, they'll be able to fall back to sleep effortlessly.
Does your child resist the whole going to bed process? Are they having trouble following directions to get ready for bed? Are they calling out or leaving bed after lights out?
Been there! After having worked with individuals with behavior challenges for over 25 years, I can help you change the narrative. We can take bedtime from tantrums and tears to enjoyment and ease.
Has your child developed some unhealthy sleep habits like falling asleep in front of the TV or screens?
Did you know that the way you fall asleep impacts your sleep throughout the rest of the night? While these habits may seem harmless, they could be having a significant negative impact on your child's sleep. We'll work together to create new sleep habits that support healthy sleep all night long.
Up to 70% of neurotypical children exhibit sleep problems.
There is a significant likelihood that millions of children in the US are misdiagnosed as having ADHD when their main issue lies within the realm of sleep.

Support can make all the difference. The process outlined below is designed to provide personalized, step-by-step guidance tailored to your unique needs and goals. Each stage is thoughtfully structured to help you gain insight into your sleep patterns, implement practical strategies, and receive ongoing support as you move toward restful, restorative sleep. Here’s what to expect:
Sleep Snapshot
The process begins with simply observing and jotting down your sleep habits over 7-10 days. This gives us a true picture of your current sleep patterns. With this clear snapshot, it becomes possible to identify the most effective path towards your goals.
Interview
Next comes an interview to gather information about your unique circumstances and the factors that might be influencing your sleep difficulties.
Treatment Development
Your sleep snapshot and history are carefully analyzed to develop a personalized plan that addresses the needs of you and/or your family. A copy of the plan is provided, followed by a meeting to review it step by step, ensuring everyone feels confident and comfortable moving forward.
Plan Implementation
With a deeper understanding and practical strategies in hand, it's time to put the plan into action! Meetings are held as needed during this phase to support progress and ensure the plan is guiding you to your goals.
Progress Review & Refinement
Progress is regularly reviewed, and adjustments are made when necessary. Support continues every step of the way. We're in this together!
The rate for sleep consultation is $165 per hour.
This rate applies to one-on-one sessions, time spent developing treatment plans, analyzing data, and collaborating with other professionals on your team to support your progress. This structure ensures dedicate, focused time for both meetings and individualized planning that helps facilitate meaningful progress between sessions.

Having personally struggled with sleep challenges, I understand how lack of sleep can make everything more difficult, affecting mood, focus, productivity, and overall well-being. Once I understood the science behind sleep-related behaviors, I got to work on my own sleep. Within a week and a half, my sleep was transformed!
After years of horrible sleep, I was no longer lying in bed awake for hours or waking up in the middle of the night unable to fall back asleep. I was falling asleep within 5-10 minutes, sleeping through the night, and getting 8+ hours of sleep. I was finally waking up feeling refreshed.
Please know that you are not doomed to a lifetime of sleepless nights and exhausted days. We can work together to help you get the restorative sleep that you need and deserve.
