Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) uses weekly appointments and a personal sleep plan. It does not require medication. San Diego patients are usually seen by video by a California-licensed clinician. Ask about other options when you schedule.

Chronic insomnia means trouble falling asleep, staying asleep or getting back to sleep at least three nights a week for three months or longer. Night work, rotating shifts and changing family schedules can make the problem harder to manage. CBT-I can be adjusted to the schedule you actually have.
You are tired all day, then alert as soon as the room gets quiet.
You wake at two or three and spend the rest of the night checking the time.
Your work hours move, and your sleep never has time to settle before they move again.
Sleep apnea causes pauses in breathing during sleep and often includes loud snoring. It can occur alongside insomnia. We treat the insomnia, we have partners who treat the apnea, and our clinician coordinates any referral that is needed.
None of the clinicians currently taking new patients lives in San Diego County; the nearest are based in Riverside, Los Angeles, Glendale. Each clinician shown is licensed in California and trained in CBT-I. A clinician located elsewhere in the state can treat a patient in San Diego by video. There is no San Diego office, so most local patients meet with us by video. See the full California team and current availability.

This is the current California list. We check your benefits before the first visit, and self-pay is available if your plan is not listed.
The first appointment is about fifty minutes on how your nights go, how long the problem has lasted, what you have tried and whether anything besides insomnia is involved. If CBT-I matches your needs, you track your sleep each morning for about two minutes. Your clinician then sets times for bed and waking. The plan is reviewed weekly for six to eight visits. Some patients improve in the first few weeks. Learn more on the how it works page.
You must be physically in California during each session. Continue with Los Angeles, San Francisco and the whole state. There is no San Diego office; the nearest practice address is 650 California Street, San Francisco, CA 94108, and nearly all San Diego patients are seen by video.
