Is CBT-I right for you?
Clinicians call it chronic insomnia when you have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep or falling back asleep at least three nights each week for three months. You may spend an hour awake at bedtime or wake at 3 a.m. and be unable to return to sleep.
Long commutes and changing work shifts can make a steady sleep schedule difficult. CBT-I starts with the hours you actually keep. It changes the habits and worry that can keep you alert in bed. Loud snoring or pauses in breathing may point to sleep apnea. This is a breathing problem that can occur with insomnia. We treat the insomnia, partners treat the apnea, and your clinician coordinates any referral that is needed.
Insurance and payment
- Aetna
- Cigna / Evernorth
- Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield
- Medicare
- UnitedHealthcare / Optum
- Veterans Affairs Community Care Network
We confirm coverage before you meet your clinician. A copay is a fixed amount due for each visit. A deductible is the amount you pay before your plan starts paying. You can also pay without using insurance.
What happens after you book
The first visit lasts about 50 minutes. Your clinician asks how you sleep now, how long the problem has lasted and what you have tried. You then keep a sleep diary—a two-minute morning note of when you fell asleep, woke and got up. It helps set your sleep window, the bedtime and wake time chosen from your own pattern. Treatment usually includes one visit each week for about six to eight weeks. Some patients notice changes during the first few weeks. See the full sequence on How CBT-I Works.

Questions about care in North Bergen
Which insurance plans do you accept?
For North Bergen patients, we currently bill Aetna, Cigna / Evernorth, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare, UnitedHealthcare / Optum, Veterans Affairs Community Care Network. Before treatment starts, our team checks your plan and tells you the expected cost. You may also choose self-pay.
Can I join from New York if I live near North Bergen?
You need to be physically in New Jersey during the appointment because your clinician is licensed here. A session from your home, office or another private place in New Jersey is fine. If you cross into New York for the day, schedule for a time when you will be back in New Jersey.
Does your clinic provide sleep studies?
No. A sleep study is an overnight test that measures breathing and movement, and insomnia is usually identified from your history and sleep pattern instead. Sleep apnea and insomnia often occur together. We treat the insomnia, we have partners who treat the apnea, and our clinician coordinates any referral that is needed.
