Why Jersey Sleep Center?

Why CBT-I can help

  • Treats the sleep problem directly

    CBT-I addresses the behaviors and thinking that keep insomnia going.

  • Builds a manageable routine

    The goal is a sleep schedule and set of strategies the patient can maintain after care ends.

  • Care across New Jersey

    Our licensed clinicians see patients from every part of the state.

  • Clear payment information

    We check benefits before treatment and explain self-pay options when needed.

  • A connection to ongoing care

    Your patient can authorize our clinician to share progress so that insomnia treatment remains connected to your care.

Which adults may benefit?

A referral may help patients experiencing:

  • Difficulty getting to sleep or remaining asleep on most nights for three months or more.
  • Insomnia that has continued during treatment for anxiety or depression.
  • Persistent insomnia despite apnea treatment, or a preference for care without additional sleep medication.

A sleep specialist can complement your therapy

An existing therapy relationship can remain in place while a patient receives CBT-I. Our clinician focuses on insomnia as a specific part of the broader treatment plan.

Sleep diaries and regular reviews guide an individual bedtime and wake time.

Suspect sleep apnea too?

Insomnia commonly coexists with sleep apnea. We treat the insomnia and arrange referrals to partner providers for apnea care when needed.

Score your own sleep

Answer all seven questions about the past two weeks. The Insomnia Severity Index adds your answers into a score between 0 and 28. This calculator does not submit a referral or add results to a medical record at Jersey Sleep Center.

For the first three questions, please rate the current (last 2 weeks) severity of your insomnia problem(s):

1. Difficulty falling asleep
2. Difficulty staying asleep
3. Problem waking up too early
4. How satisfied/dissatisfied are you with your current sleep pattern?
5. How noticeable to others do you think your sleep problem is in terms of impairing the quality of your life?
6. How worried/distressed are you about your current sleep problem?
7. To what extent do you consider your sleep problem to interfere with your daily functioning (e.g., daytime fatigue, mood, ability to function at work or with daily chores, concentration, memory) currently?

A score is not a diagnosis. Discuss the result and your sleep history with a licensed clinician. A referral to Jersey Sleep Center does not require a particular score.

We contact your patient

Our New Jersey intake team calls the patient to organize an assessment and go over payment information.

Treatment begins

We start with an assessment lasting about 50 minutes. The patient then keeps a daily sleep diary and attends weekly sessions, usually over six to eight weeks. Their clinician adjusts the sleep schedule, works through difficulties and develops a plan for maintaining progress.

We keep you informed

Your patient can authorize our clinician to share progress so that insomnia treatment remains connected to your care.

Most patients have video visits with a clinician licensed in New Jersey. A limited number of clinicians also see patients in person at the North Bergen office; availability is confirmed during scheduling. Patients must be physically in New Jersey for their visits.
