About Me

I'm Dr. Yazmine P. Huizar, a licensed clinical psychologist and Diplomate in Behavioral Sleep Medicine. I work with adults dealing with insomnia, nightmares, circadian rhythm disorders, chronic pain, metabolic health concerns, body image distress, and the ways these problems tend to compound each other over time.


My primary specialty is behavioral sleep medicine. I also treat CPAP adjustment and adherence difficulties, fatigue, diabetes-related stress, and mood concerns connected to chronic health conditions. These problems rarely stay in their lanes, and treatment usually doesn't either.


The work is structured and individualized. We look at what's maintaining the problem, build strategies that are realistic for your actual life, and adjust as we go. I use cognitive-behavioral treatments as the foundation, drawing from other evidence-based approaches when the work calls for it.


I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Texas Tech University, completed my predoctoral internship at the Lexington VA, and completed my postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University School of Medicine.
