Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia

Helping people change sleep patterns so they can fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer & feel more rested during the day.

Considered more effective than sleep medications, CBTi is a short, structured, evidence-based treatment for adults with chronic insomnia. It explores the connection between the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors contributing to insomnia symptoms while supporting you in learning new ways to approach sleeplessness. While results may vary between participants, 70-80% of patients with primary insomnia report experiencing lasting improvements.

What to expect

CBTi therapy explores the connection between the way we think, the things we do, and how these impact our sleep. Sessions include psycho-education on sleep cycles and the body, learning how to reshape negative thoughts about sleep, and incorporating new behaviors that promote relaxation and healthy pre-sleep habits. Treatment lasts 6-8 sessions.

A multi-component therapy, research shows that 70-80% of people experiencing primary insomnia report lasting improvements, including less time to fall asleep, more time spent asleep, and waking up less during sleep.
