Effective Treatment for Chronic Insomnia
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment for chronic insomnia. It focuses on helping individuals change the thoughts and behaviors that interfere with sleep, creating lasting improvements in both the ability to fall asleep and stay asleep.
CBT-I is typically a short-term intervention, often completed in about eight sessions. It is recognized as the first-line treatment for insomnia by leading medical organizations, including the American College of Physicians, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and the European Sleep Research Society.
Many people who experience chronic insomnia are surprised, and sometimes skeptical, to learn that there is a treatment available that doesn’t involve medication. They may wonder how simply talking about sleep could lead to real change.
CBT-I, however, is different from what you may imagine when you think of traditional talk therapy. It is a highly goal-directed, solution-focused process, while still offering the warm, supportive environment of a therapeutic setting.
In CBT-I, we work collaboratively to:
Identify thoughts and beliefs that may be unintentionally making sleep more difficult
Modify behaviors that interfere with healthy sleep patterns
Create new habits and strategies that promote better sleep
Set clear, achievable goals to improve sleep over time
The goal is to help you retrain your mind and body for sleep, empowering you to regain confidence in your ability to rest naturally and feel better during the day.
If you’ve been struggling with insomnia, CBT-I offers a structured, proven path toward better sleep.
