Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I & N)
When you’re awake at night and exhausted during the day, sleep can begin to feel like another problem to manage rather than a place to rest. Chronic insomnia often disrupts concentration, mood, and overall well-being, especially for adults juggling stress, responsibility, and life transitions.
Insomnia is common, affecting a significant portion of adults at any given time, and it rarely has a single cause. Sleep difficulties are often influenced by stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, disrupted routines, or learned sleep habits that unintentionally keep insomnia going.
At The Being Place, insomnia therapy focuses on understanding what is interfering with your sleep and helping your nervous system return to a more natural rhythm. In counseling, we work together to identify behaviors, thought patterns, and stress responses that perpetuate difficulty falling or staying asleep.
If your sleep disturbance is also being treated by a physician for medical conditions such as sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, or other health concerns, therapy can serve as a helpful complement to medical care.
I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia and Nightmares (CBT-I & N), an evidence-based, short-term treatment typically completed in six to eight sessions. CBT-I is widely recognized as one of the most effective non-medication treatments for chronic insomnia.
Sessions may include:
Establishing consistent sleep schedules and calming bedtime routines
Learning relaxation strategies to reduce physical and mental arousal
Addressing nightmares or distressing nighttime thoughts
Identifying and adjusting habits that interfere with sleep
Improving sleep hygiene in a realistic, sustainable way
Creating a long-term plan to maintain healthier sleep patterns
