We provide advanced trainings in sleep and dream therapies for mental health professionals. We focus on evidence-based methods such as lucid dreaming therapy and imagery rehearsal therapy to address sleep disturbances, nightmares, and broader mental health. 

Lucidity Sleep Psychiatry is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. Lucidity Sleep Psychiatry maintains responsibility for this program and its content.

Educational content is hosted by the Mindful Lucid Dreaming learning platform, operated by Kristen LaMarca LLC.

Dr. LaMarca is recognized for her expertise on the science and therapeutic applications of lucid dreaming. Recognizing the lack of sleep and dream-focused trainings in the mental health field, she founded this continuing education (CE) program to equip clinicians with practical, evidence-based tools for integrating lucid dreaming into treatment. Her goal is to bridge the gap between consciousness exploration and clinical practice, expanding access to dream-centric approaches for addressing nightmares, trauma, and other psychological challenges.

In 2007, Dr. LaMarca began collaborating with Lucidity Institute, co-teaching intensive retreats and conducting research alongside renowned expert, Stephen LaBerge. Her contributions have examined the characteristics of lucid dreaming while optimizing the mindset and physiological conditions for having lucid dreams. This research culminated in publishing an induction protocol that combined memory training, early morning naps, REM sleep biofeedback technology, and galantamine–an herbal supplement known to enhance memory and REM sleep.

As a clinician, Dr. LaMarca has focused on using lucid dreaming to innovate nightmare treatments and pivotal touch-points in psychotherapy. She emphasizes that lucid dreaming is not about controlling your dreams, but rather, a tool for fostering psychological flexibility and insights into how perception shapes reality.
