Sleep disturbances are often intertwined with mental health challenges, from anxiety to mood disorders. We take a comprehensive approach to treating sleep disorders through careful medication management, while evaluating and addressing co-occurring psychiatric symptoms. Whether the issue is insomnia, hypersomnia, or a circadian rhythm disturbance, we work to restore healthy sleep patterns as a key part of mental health stability.

Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you’re struggling with sleep, you may find yourself lying awake at night, watching the clock, and wondering why something that should be natural feels so difficult. You might have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early and not being able to get back to sleep. Over time, this can leave you feeling exhausted, frustrated, and anxious about bedtime itself.
I help clients change the patterns that keep insomnia going using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), the most effective first-line treatment for chronic sleep problems. CBT-I is a structured, evidence-based approach that targets the thoughts and behaviors that interfere with sleep. Research shows that CBT-I improves sleep in 75–80% of individuals and is more effective than sleeping pills in multiple major clinical studies, including those published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and the Archives of Internal Medicine. I also integrate clinical hypnosis to help calm the mind and body, making it easier to transition into restful sleep.
What’s often missing isn’t effort—you’ve likely already tried to “force” sleep, change routines, or rely on medications. What’s missing is a structured method that retrains your brain and body to sleep naturally again. Without that, sleep can become something you chase rather than something that happens.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready for a different approach. If you’re willing to learn a proven system for improving sleep, I can help you fall asleep more easily, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling more rested—without relying on medication.

Sleep Issues
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.

John Burkin
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC, LPCC, LCPC, CPL, Registered Member MBACP
Continuous, restful sleep is an absolute must. We are unable to store sleep, i.e. take power naps thinking we are good to go. Too many of us are sleep deprived. I am pleased to share I have attended a comprehensive training on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, or CBT-I.

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.
