Each available clinician is licensed in California and trained in CBT-I. Current profiles are on the clinicians page.
Your first video visit takes about 50 minutes. The clinician asks about your sleep difficulties, how long they have lasted and treatments you have tried. Chronic insomnia involves difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or returning to sleep at least three nights a week for three months or more.
If CBT-I is suitable, you keep a daily sleep diary that takes about two minutes each morning. Your clinician uses it to recommend a bedtime and wake time, then adjusts the plan over six to eight weekly appointments. Some patients notice improvement in the first few weeks.
