Addressing the Core of Your Insomnia
Step 1
Scheduling Your Initial Consultation
Upon scheduling your first session, we'll match you with an experienced sleep clinician who specializes in CBT-I, as well as a wide variety of sleep disorders. During this comprehensive 50-minute intake meeting, we'll discuss your sleep history to identify the patterns and issues that are affecting your sleep quality.
Furthermore, an extensive diagnostic evaluation will be performed to understand the underlying factors contributing to your sleep difficulties. Collecting this information enables us to create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Step 2
Developing Your Sleep Plan
During the next step, your clinician will help you create a personalized sleep plan and equip you with a specialized app. This app simplifies sleep tracking, offering you the flexibility to update it manually or integrate it with your wearable device for effortless data collection.
Using the valuable insights gained from your sleep tracking, your clinician will work closely alongside you to create a tailored sleep treatment plan. This plan is carefully designed to match your unique sleep patterns and objectives, with a strong focus on improving both the quality and duration of your sleep.
Step 3
Executing Your Sleep Treatment
During this phase, you'll engage in regular weekly sessions with your sleep clinician. These sessions are focused on administering your custom sleep treatment, monitoring your ongoing progress, and adjusting the plan as required. This systematic approach ensures that your treatment remains effective and responsive to your evolving sleep needs.
Insomnia Explained
What is insomnia?
Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that's characterized by the persistent struggle to fall asleep, stay asleep, or both. Most often, people with insomnia feel unsatisfied with their sleep and may experience fatigue, low energy, difficulty concentrating, mood swings, and decreased performance at work or school.
One of the more interesting aspects is that its duration can vary significantly. In some cases, it appears as acute insomnia, which is a short-term condition that lasts only a brief period of time. However, there's also what's known as chronic insomnia, which is more prolonged and typically occurs at least three nights a week and continues for three months or longer. Regardless of its duration, insomnia significantly impacts daily life. Therefore, treatment is necessary for improved well-being.
The Role of CBT-I in Treating Insomnia
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, or CBT-I, is a highly effective, evidence-based method for treating insomnia. Unlike traditional sleep medications that offer temporary relief, CBT-I helps determine the psychological and behavioral roots of sleep issues. In fact, its primary goal is to identify and modify the patterns that contribute to insomnia, ultimately helping individuals regain control over their sleep patterns and improve their overall sleep quality - for good!
CBT-I goes beyond addressing immediate sleep problems; it equips you with strategies for maintaining healthy sleep patterns. It's a proven, effective approach that provides long-lasting relief for those dealing with sleep disturbances.
