COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY FOR INSOMNIA (CBT-I)
In San Francisco’s Pacific Heights
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a multi-component treatment for insomnia that targets difficulties with initiating and/or maintaining sleep and is delivered over the course of six to eight sessions. The primary focus of CBT-I is to address the perpetuating factors (according to the three-factor model of insomnia) that contribute to the development of chronic insomnia. Chronic insomnia is the most prevalent sleep disorder, occurring in approximately 6–10% of the population, and is a risk factor for multiple medical and psychiatric disorders. - Reference: Klin Spec Psihol. 2022; 11(2): 123–137.
Wake up rested and refreshed.
I’M HEATHER.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I specialize in working with individuals struggling with insomnia. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-I), we will explore the connection between thought patterns, behavior, and sleep. In structured treatment sessions I will help you identify and change these thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teach you skills to achieve a more restful sleep.
Most clients who complete a CBT-I course of treatment experience improvements in their insomnia and report better quality sleep. Treatment often takes about 8 sessions, although the length of treatment may vary somewhat based on individual needs.
