What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a proven, evidence-based approach to treating chronic sleep issues. We will address the root causes of your sleep problems and give you practical tools to regain control.
CBT-I focuses on behaviors and thoughts that keep you stuck in this cycle, helping you build healthier habits and a better relationship with sleep.
The process includes techniques like Sleep Restriction Therapy, which recalibrates your natural sleep patterns, and Stimulus Control Therapy, which helps you recondition your mind to see your bed as a place for rest, not stress.
