Sleep Issues
Cindy Haines, Psy.D
Psychologist, Psy.D
Chronic insomnia can be frustrating, leaving you feeling tired, stressed, and unable to function at your best. At Stress & Anxiety Services, we offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), a highly effective, evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals overcome sleep difficulties without relying on medication. CBT-I focuses on changing the thoughts, behaviors, and sleep habits that contribute to poor sleep. Our approach includes: - Sleep Education: Understanding the science of sleep and how lifestyle choices affect your rest. - Cognitive Restructuring: Identifying and challenging negative thoughts and anxieties about sleep. - Sleep Restriction: Gradually adjusting sleep patterns to help improve the quality and duration of rest. - Relaxation Techniques: Managing stress and promoting a calm mind to prepare for restful sleep. With secure telehealth services, we provide personalized CBT-I treatment, helping you restore healthy sleep patterns and improve overall well-being. You don’t have to struggle with sleepless nights—there is a solution.

Sleep Issues
Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
When sleep becomes unreliable, insomnia can quickly affect mood, concentration, and overall functioning. Many adults find themselves caught in a cycle where stress, racing thoughts, or irregular sleep patterns make it increasingly difficult to rest. I help clients identify the factors contributing to insomnia and develop practical strategies that support healthier, more consistent sleep.

Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Courtesy of the Mayo Clinic: “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia is a structured program that helps you identify and replace thoughts and behaviors that cause or worsen sleep problems with habits that promote sound sleep. Unlike sleeping pills, CBT-I helps you overcome the underlying causes of your sleep problems. To identify how to best treat your insomnia, your sleep therapist may have you keep a detailed sleep diary for one to two weeks. The cognitive part of CBT-I teaches you to recognize and change beliefs that affect your ability to sleep. This type of therapy can help you control or eliminate negative thoughts and worries that keep you awake. The behavioral part of CBT-I helps you develop good sleep habits and avoid behaviors that keep you from sleeping well.” Specific CBT-I techniques include the following:
Sleep Control: Removing factors that condition the mind to resist sleep.
Sleep Restriction: Reducing the time spent in bed to increase the mind-body willingness to sleep the following night. Once sleep has improved, the time in bed is gradually increased.
Sleep Hygiene: Changing basic lifestyle habits that influence sleep, such as smoking or drinking too much caffeine late in the day, drinking too much alcohol, or not getting regular exercise.
Relaxation Training: Calming the mind and body using meditation, imagery, and muscle relaxation.

Psychologist, PsyD
At Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC, we recognize that sleep is the cornerstone of mental and physical resilience, yet it is often the first thing to suffer during times of stress or transition. Whether you are struggling with the frustration of insomnia, the mind-racing "tired but wired" feeling of anxiety, or disrupted sleep patterns due to chronic pain, we offer a specialized path to rest. Our approach utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), the gold standard for long-term sleep improvement. We work with you to identify the behaviors and thought patterns that keep you awake, while also considering how cultural habits and lifestyle pressures impact your circadian rhythm. By addressing both the psychological and environmental barriers to rest, we help you quiet your mind and reclaim the restorative sleep you need to thrive during the day.
