insomnia cognitive therapy

You’re a high-performing woman who can’t afford another sleepless night. Insomnia is stealing your focus, energy, and peace. I offer evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), targeted supplements, and holistic mental health care to help you sleep deeply, restore fully, and perform at your best.

Comprehensive care addressing patterns of overwhelm, overextension, and depletion that compromise sleep and well–being. Tailored strategies to restore balance and prevent the cycle of chronic stress.

A Gentler Approach to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia

Traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) can sometimes feel rigid, overly restrictive, and impractical for women with demanding lives.  For those who are already anxious, drained, or overwhelmed, strict sleep protocols can sometimes feel like an added stressor. My approach is different.

 

I offer gentler, more compassionate, personalized insomnia cognitive therapy that meets you where you are and adapts to the realities of your life, not against them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia: The Gold Standard

CBT-I is the first-line treatment for insomnia recommended by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), and research consistently shows it outperforms sleep medications for lasting results. Unlike pills that mask symptoms, CBT-I retrains your brain and body to sleep naturally again.

Personalized, Psychiatrist-Led Care

This is not a generic workbook or one-sized-fits-all sleep app. I offer individualized treatment plans tailored to your life, schedule, nervous system, and natural rhythms. You work with a psychiatrist who is also an insomnia therapist, someone who understands the demands of high performance and will partner with you to create sustainable sleep strategies that fit your reality.

Physician-guided natural supplements for insomnia and sleep restoration without addictive medications

Natural Supplements for Sleep Support

When needed and desired, I offer non-addictive, highly effective supplements to restore sleep and regulate your nervous system. This is targeted support for women who are wired but tired and in need of relief from overstimulation. I offer a path to deep, restorative rest without relying on potentially addictive, controlled substance medications.

CBT-I goes beyond Sleep hygiene checklists and leads to lasting results

Beyond Sleep Hygiene

This is not another checklist of tips about screen time and caffeine. My approach addresses the root causes of insomnia through a combination of CBT-I, nervous system regulation, lifestyle refinement, and holistic supplements (when needed) that honor the connection between your mind, body, and sleep.

What is Chronic Insomnia?

Chronic insomnia is defined as difficulty falling asleep, staying 

asleep, or waking too early 

at least three nights per week 

for three months or longer. 

 

It’s not just occasional sleepless nights; it’s a persistent pattern that disrupts your energy, mood, clarity, 

and quality of life. 

 

If this resonates, 

you’re in the right place.

Freedom from Insomnia

Chronic insomnia affects roughly 1 in 10 adults in the U.S., and women are disproportionately impacted. 

 

The good news? 

 

CBT-I is the most effective treatment available worldwide for chronic insomnia, and many women in my practice begin experiencing meaningful improvement in as little as two weeks.

What Patients Are Saying

Working with Dr. Hypolite transformed my relationship with sleep and stress. She helped me sleep better at night and make time for more rest in my days to balance out my intensely busy and overwhelming schedule. I feel calmer, happier, and my family notices it too!

Dr. Hypolite’s understanding of high achieving women was exactly what I needed. I didn’t have the energy to explain every aspect of my life.  I felt like she just immediately got it.  I was shocked that CBTi was so effective for me.  I sleep well and have way more energy now!  A godsend!

My sleep had been horrible for YEARS.   I was exhausted all then time, but when I finally would get to bed, I would be wide awake.  Thanks to doing insomnia therapy with Dr. Hypolite and taking the supplements she prescribed, I sleep like a baby now!
