Getting to know Dr. Richard Shane

You Can Sleep Well! I have been a behavioral sleep therapist for 25 years and serve nationally as a sleep consultant. I work with several large medical groups in Colorado, serving over 300,000 patients. I have been a psychotherapist for decades, specializing in mind-body medicine. I hold a PhD in Human Services from Columbia Pacific University and a Master's in Psychology from The New School for Social Research. Years ago, as a result of a major life crisis, I developed severe insomnia. I didn't want to become dependent upon sleep medication, and other sleep methods weren't effective. I spent years internally exploring my own insomnia-what was happening in my body and mind during the hours it would take to fall asleep or return to sleep. From that, I was able to unlock the code of how the mind and body fall asleep. With that knowledge, combined with additional years of research, I created the Sleep Easy method. People report Sleep Easy feels like the natural way sleep happens, not like the artificially created methods characteristic of other approaches. Because I personally experienced-and resolved-insomnia, I know how devastating it is. Because I am nationally known for my sleep program, I work with people nationwide-and those who are local-via a secure online video telehealth platform. This is just as effective as in-person treatment, while allowing you to be in the comfort of your own home with the convenience of not having to travel.
