Why CBT-I?

• Clinically proven: CBT-I is a structured, evidence-based approach that targets the thoughts and behaviors keeping patients awake. Studies show that 70–80% of patients experience lasting improvement in sleep quality, often within 2–3 sessions.
• No medication, no side effects: A drug-free treatment that avoids the tolerance and dependency risks associated with sleep medications.
• Whole-health benefits: Better sleep supports daytime functioning, mood, and long-term cardiovascular and metabolic health.

Why Refer to Us?

• Quick access: New-patient appointments are typically available within 1–4 weeks, rather than the 6–12 month waits common among CBT-I providers.
• Broad insurance coverage: We are in-network with most major Massachusetts commercial plans, plus Medicare.
• High satisfaction: 9 out of 10 of our patients would recommend our services to friends or family.
• Collaborative care: You receive regular progress updates, including Insomnia Severity Index scores, so care stays coordinated with your treatment plan.

Why Patients Benefit From Seeing Our CBT-I Specialists — Even If They Already Have a Therapist

CBT-I is a specialized protocol that most general therapists are not specifically trained to deliver. Referring a patient to us does not replace the relationship you have built with them; it adds a focused course of treatment for insomnia that works alongside their existing care. Patients benefit from:

• Specialized expertise in the mechanisms of insomnia, sleep drive, and circadian rhythms.
• A targeted, time-limited course of roughly 8–10 sessions focused solely on restoring sleep.
• Improved mental-health outcomes, since better sleep strengthens the results of other therapy and medical treatment.
• Coordination with existing providers, so the patient's broader care continues without interruption.

How to Refer

Referring is simple and no referral form is required. Just send us your patient's name and contact information, and our team will handle the rest.

Prefer to talk it through first? You can schedule a peer-to-peer meeting with our clinical team to discuss whether CBT-I is the right fit for your patient.

When to Consider a Referral

CBT-I is a good fit for adult patients who are experiencing:

• Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep three or more nights a week.
• Sleep problems that have persisted for three months or longer.
• Reliance on sleep medication that they would like to reduce or stop.
• Daytime fatigue, low mood, or trouble concentrating tied to poor sleep.

Our Approach

Our clinicians deliver a structured program of roughly 8–10 sessions that combines behavioral strategies — such as stimulus control and sleep scheduling — with cognitive work that addresses the worry and beliefs that keep insomnia going. Treatment is provided via telehealth to patients located anywhere in Massachusetts, and we keep referring providers updated on progress throughout.
