Psychologist fills void in special need

Nyack, N.Y. – The field of psychology and psychological counseling is huge, and many people choose to be very broad in their approaches to treatment.

Some, however, take a much more streamlined approach and choose to specialize.  One such area is CBT-I.

“CBT-I is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia.  It is a relatively new field, but the treatments have seen real success with patients,” said Dr. Sally Nazari, clinical psychologist and owner of Chrysalis Psychological Services.

Good sleep is necessary for proper health.  There are a myriad of problems tied to insomnia including manic behavior, which can lead to even more serious mental health issues.

Unlike medications, CBT-I uses a combination of group and individual counseling therapies.  This allows the individual to learn tools that help them go, stay and find a good night’s sleep each night, every night.

“There are medical therapies for sleep aid, but these are tightly controlled and limited because the medications can be habit forming.  CBT-I is easy, done in only a few sessions and has seen as good success with patients as medication therapy,” said Nazari.

The success of the therapy should mean that there are plenty of therapists using the system, but there is a serious lack of anyone in the country who uses it.

Dr. Nazari is one of a few who are trained to use CBT-I as part of her overall practice and is looking forward to adding it to her practice.

“CBT-I was a part of my training as an extern and intern at the Maryland and New York V.A. hospitals, and now as a private practice clinician, I would love to extend this treatment to my community. I love the treatment and saw fantastic benefits with my veterans,” said Nazari.

Nazari offers several services and therapies for patients.  She is also a certified Reiki practitioner.  To schedule an appointment, learn more about her practice or to read up on her, visit her website Chrysalis Psychological Services, PLLC.

New rideshare app promises difference

Detroit, Mich. – The huge rise of car rideshare apps has changed the way many use transportation, and it has helped others make a bit of additional income by providing a needed service.

CueRide, headquartered in Detroit, Mich., is one such application and has already set itself out from the other, larger services like Uber and Lyft.

Founder James Whitaker has done considerable research on other rideshare applications. He has looked at what does and does not work in addition to driver and customer complaints from other rideshare companies. This way, he was able to design an app with new features that meets virtually all of the best of the worlds of current apps for drivers and customers while having none of the drawbacks.

“It was a long time in development sifting through the complaints, making notes and adjusting the coding for what I and my team was after. We are focused on being different by staying on the cutting edge of innovation,” said Whitaker, “we are also charging a smaller fee than the competition, something that is sure to be attractive for our drivers.” 

Whitaker is also pleased to note another, major difference between the other companies and CueRide.  All drivers will be able to purchase stock options into the company before its IPO.

“We want to have 30 percent of our company belonging to the people who make it great – our drivers.  This is why we want our drivers to truly be a part of the company and what it stands for,” said Whitaker.

Whitaker has his own thoughts on his role within the company, “It is my job to give customers as well as drivers equal and outstanding quality and create a healthy and profitable business for our customers and our drivers who will be owners of CueRide as well.”

Those who would like to drive for CueRide will be able to sign up September 10th with customers able to sign up a few days later.  Customers will be able to use a special promo code, “LETS RIDE,” for up to $20.00 off of their first ride.

CueRide is fully approved for launch in both Michigan and Georgia.  The company is awaiting approval for the city of Austin, Texas, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.  Plans are to have full approval in these areas by November, the official launch date.

“This will be a national app, so we are looking for drivers across the U.S.  Anyone with a car can participate and start making money the first day.  This is a unique opportunity for anyone, and the addition of stock purchases can only mean more income in the long run,” said Whitaker.

Those who are interested in learning more before the site is live can contact Whitaker or the CueRide team at media, info or drivers.  They can also follow the website construction here.
