Sleep & Insomnia
CBT-I Therapy for Insomnia
If you are lying awake at night, dreading bedtime, or relying on sleep medication that is not working anymore, CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) may be the answer. It is the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment recommended by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) as the first-line approach for chronic insomnia—before medication.
I have advanced training in CBT-I from the University of Pennsylvania and am currently pursuing further training toward board certification in Behavioral Sleep Medicine. I provide CBT-I-informed strategies as part of my online therapy practice across New York and New Jersey.
What Is CBT-I?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a structured, time-limited approach that targets the thoughts, behaviors, and habits that keep insomnia going. Unlike sleep medication, CBT-I addresses the root causes of your sleep problems, leading to lasting improvement.
