Refer a patient for insomnia treatment in North Carolina

Why choose CBT-I treatment?

• Addresses sleep patterns: CBT-I works on the habits and expectations that contribute to chronic insomnia.
• Provides care without added medication: The program teaches behavioral sleep strategies while existing prescriptions remain with the patient’s prescriber.
• Helps patients maintain their routine: Patients leave with techniques for managing sleep beyond the treatment course.

What North Carolina providers can expect

• Licensed, trained clinicians: Your patient receives care from a North Carolina-licensed clinician trained in CBT-I.
• Benefits verified before care: We check insurance coverage, bill accepted plans and discuss costs in advance.
• Support after referral: Our intake team contacts the patient and schedules the first appointment.

Working alongside an existing therapist

CBT-I provides specific treatment for insomnia while your patient continues therapy for other concerns. The sleep treatment has its own goals and a defined duration.

• The patient keeps a brief sleep diary to inform weekly treatment decisions.
• The clinician combines sleep scheduling with work on habits and sleep-related worry.
• Patients practice the methods between sessions so they can continue using them independently.

When to refer an adult with insomnia

CBT-I is worth considering for patients with:

• Trouble falling or staying asleep at least three nights per week for three months or longer.
• Insomnia that continues while a mood condition, anxiety or sleep apnea is being managed.
• A wish to improve sleep without additional medication or alongside a prescriber-managed taper.

Insomnia and sleep apnea often affect the same patient. We address insomnia and coordinate referrals to partners who provide apnea treatment.

Our North Carolina treatment approach

The first appointment lasts about an hour. The clinician reviews the patient’s sleep history and medications, then introduces a daily sleep diary and sleep schedule. Weekly sessions typically continue for six to eight weeks, with adjustments based on progress and help applying the techniques at home.

Most patients are treated by video by clinicians licensed in North Carolina. A limited number of clinicians also provide in-person care; availability is confirmed at the time of booking. The patient must be in North Carolina during each appointment.
