DBSM preparation and mentorship
Dr. Mason has mentored and supervised professionals pursuing board certification in behavioral sleep medicine. She is available for structured DBSM preparation and for ongoing behavioral sleep medicine mentorship and consultation.
Preparation and mentorship do not guarantee certification, are not endorsed by the certifying body, and do not on their own fulfill certification requirements.
Postdoctoral training and program collaboration
Dr. Mason collaborates with psychology training programs seeking behavioral sleep medicine expertise, through specialty rotations, longitudinal experiences, secondary supervision, external specialty supervision where permitted, didactics, case consultation, and curriculum development.
She currently provides a behavioral sleep medicine specialty rotation for the postdoctoral neuropsychology training program at Savannah Neuropsychology, in a secondary supervision role.
Formal clinical supervision is available in Georgia, subject to applicable professional and training requirements. Professional education and consultation may be available nationally and internationally where appropriate.

Sleep-Aware Care
Not every clinician needs to become a sleep specialist. Clinicians should know how to recognize sleep concerns, ask appropriate questions, respond within their scope, and know when specialty evaluation or referral is appropriate.
- Step 1
Assess
Practice assessment of how sleep concerns are currently identified, documented, and routed.
- Step 2
Train
Clinician education on recognizing sleep concerns and responding within scope.
- Step 3
Implement
Screening strategy, workflows, patient education, referral pathways, and escalation criteria.
- Step 4
Consult
Ongoing consultation as the practice refines its approach.
Sleep-Aware Care is an implementation approach, not a certification or credential.
