Yes. Neuropsychological and psychological support can help with insomnia and sleep problems, especially when sleep difficulties are related to stress, anxiety, ADHD, concussion recovery, or changes in cognitive functioning.

Treatment focuses on identifying contributing factors and developing practical strategies to improve sleep habits, reduce nighttime overthinking, and support a more consistent sleep routine.
The goal is not only to improve sleep, but also to enhance overall cognitive and emotional functioning so you feel more rested, clear-headed, and able to manage daily demands.
