Evidence-Based Insomnia Treatment at Core Wellness

Sleep shouldn't feel like a nightly struggle.

For those living with chronic insomnia, bedtime can become a source of frustration, anxiety, and exhaustion. At Core Wellness, we understand that better sleep requires more than simply spending more time in bed or relying on medication.

We offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), a structured, evidence-based treatment designed to address the underlying patterns that keep insomnia going. Our goal is to help you rebuild confidence in your ability to sleep, establish healthier sleep patterns, and experience more restorative rest.

What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is considered the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia by leading sleep medicine organizations.

Unlike sleeping medications, which primarily target insomnia symptoms, CBT-I addresses the thoughts, behaviors, and sleep patterns that contribute to ongoing sleep difficulties.

Through a combination of personalized behavioral strategies, cognitive techniques, and sleep education, CBT-I helps retrain the mind and body to develop a healthier relationship with sleep.

Treatment typically involves a series of structured sessions over several weeks, with individualized guidance and adjustments based on your progress.

CBT-I can be effective for difficulty falling asleep, frequent nighttime awakenings, waking too early, and persistent sleep-related anxiety—even when insomnia has been present for years.
