Sleep Issues
Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for sleep disorders and sleep-related difficulties, including insomnia, difficulty falling asleep, frequent waking, restless sleep, nightmares, and disrupted sleep patterns. Sleep challenges can significantly impact mood, energy levels, concentration, emotional regulation, physical health, and overall quality of life.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to sleep issues, recognizing that sleep disturbances are often connected to stress, anxiety, unresolved trauma, emotional dysregulation, or nervous system activation. Therapy focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying factors that may be interfering with healthy sleep, rather than only treating symptoms at the surface level.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support nervous system calming, emotional processing, and long-term sleep improvement. Treatment may include exploring past experiences that contribute to hyperarousal, anxiety, or difficulty feeling safe and settled at night.
In addition to trauma-focused work, therapy may also incorporate practical sleep hygiene strategies, relaxation techniques, stress reduction skills, and behavioral approaches that support healthier sleep patterns and improved rest over time.
Brad’s approach is collaborative and individualized, helping clients develop a personalized plan that addresses both emotional and behavioral contributors to sleep difficulties. The goal is to restore healthy sleep cycles, improve daily functioning, and support greater emotional balance and overall well-being.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can improve sleep quality, reduce nighttime anxiety, and regain the restorative rest needed for physical, emotional, and mental health.

Dr. Daisy Vélez
Psychologist, PsyD, DipACLM, PMH-C
When sleep becomes a nightly struggle, it can affect every aspect of your life—your mood, memory, relationships, and overall health. I help adults and teens break the cycle of sleeplessness using evidence-based treatments like CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) and mind-body strategies that target the root causes of disrupted sleep. Whether you're dealing with insomnia, restless sleep, or anxiety that keeps you up at night, we’ll work together to restore healthy sleep and help you feel like yourself again.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Insomnia and sleep disorders can be one of the most challenging to bring back to harmony, especially after chronic trauma, abuse, or shedding addictions. This is often due to a seriously compromised and disregulated nervous system. This area is one I have much experience in and in addition to using custom session hypnosis recordings and sleep hypnosis recordings, I have an arsenal of tools to help those suffering from trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. We get there by examining the beliefs and emotions associated with the issue and possibly a hypnotic regression, if needed. There are other relaxation techniques we can use to help alleviate symptoms related to insomnia, like breathwork, pineal gland breathing, tapping, EMT, NLP, Gestalt, and more. Within the protocol is a goal to reset your nervous system, and we do this partly by programming in signals that show your nervous system it is safe to relax. We use emotional regulation commands and techniques to reinforce this. We can use the breathwork and hypnosis to quickly get you out of an agitated state (such as when you wake up with racing thoughts), through binaural synchronization of right and left sides of the brain from high Beta to Alpha then Delta brainwaves.

Sleep Issues
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.
