Every Therapy Uniquely Tailored

The goal of CBTi is to help individuals overcome old habits and patterns that disrupt sleep, replacing them with new approaches that naturally promote better sleep. CBTi can be learned and applied in different ways, whether through one-on-one therapy with a trained professional, participation in insomnia therapy groups, or by utilizing recommended self-help resources provided by STG Health.

CBTi consists of five components. While some people may find it helpful to incorporate all five components, others may find success by focusing on just one or two. This means that CBTi can be customized to meet the unique needs of individuals in various ways.

Cognitive interventions involve the restructuring of thoughts about sleep, aiming to change any inaccurate or unhelpful beliefs.

How can I start private, individual CBT-i?

First, a short intake takes place on the phone, and then you complete a set of questionnaires to determine if CBT-i is the best choice for you. Based on the results of the screening, your therapist will make a recommendation. After the phone call and intake session, clients typically receive 5 sessions of individual therapy.
