Start with the Sleep Intake & Assessments Plan if you’re unsure what’s maintaining your insomnia, you’ve tried many approaches, or your sleep is complicated by stress, anxiety, or an unpredictable schedule. If your pattern is clear and you’re ready to begin structured treatment, you can also start directly with Individual CBT-I or Group CBT-I.
No. We do not focus on diagnosis as the goal. We focus on clarifying your sleep pattern and building a tailored intervention plan that fits your real life.
That depends on availability, but most clients begin with an intake/screening step so treatment is targeted rather than trial-and-error.
No. If you are in crisis or at immediate risk, call emergency services (911) or your local crisis line. These services are for planned, outpatient care.
It’s the intake-and-screening phase designed to answer one core question: “What is maintaining your sleep problem, and what plan fits best?”
You’ll receive a clear formulation and a tailored intervention plan (which may include Individual CBT-I, Group CBT-I, interim supports, or referrals if appropriate).
Often, yes—because it turns “I feel like I never sleep” into trackable patterns we can actually treat. We keep it simple and realistic. If diaries are a barrier, we adapt.
You can still begin intake. We can provide interim stabilization supports while you wait, and coordinate recommendations so you’re not stuck doing nothing.
We don’t diagnose medical sleep disorders, but we do screen for red flags and recommend medical follow-up when appropriate. If another condition is driving your symptoms, the plan will reflect that.
CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) is a structured, evidence-based treatment that targets the patterns that keep insomnia going—not just the symptoms. It typically includes sleep scheduling (sleep consolidation), stimulus control, cognitive strategies, and arousal reduction.
That’s common. We treat insomnia and the sleep-anxiety loop together—so bedtime stops becoming a performance test.
We adapt. Many clients have overlapping factors. The goal is not a perfect protocol—it’s an intervention plan that fits your nervous system and your life. If something requires specialized care beyond our scope, we will recommend next steps.
No. We do not prescribe. If medication is part of your care, we can coordinate with your prescribing provider when appropriate.
Often, yes. We can work alongside your medical plan. Any medication changes should be managed by your prescriber—not by stopping abruptly.
We’ll discuss your current patterns without judgment and help you understand how different substances may affect sleep architecture, awakenings, and next-day functioning. We focus on building a stable plan you can maintain.
