Who we treat here

You may spend a long time trying to fall asleep, wake repeatedly or wake earlier than intended. Tell your clinician about shift changes or early starts so they can account for your schedule when planning treatment.

Sleep apnea often occurs alongside insomnia. We treat insomnia and coordinate referrals to partners who treat sleep apnea. Some clinicians also treat anxiety, low mood and stress. Their profiles list their areas of focus.

Your first visit

At your first visit, the clinician asks about your sleep, daytime symptoms and treatments you have tried. The appointment lasts about 50 minutes. If CBT-I is appropriate, you start a daily sleep diary, taking about two minutes each morning.

Your clinician uses those records to set a bedtime and wake time and adjust your sleep window. Treatment usually involves six to eight weekly sessions, with many patients noticing progress in the first few weeks. See How It Works for details.

You must be physically in Texas during each visit. We also serve Dallas, Austin and the rest of Texas. A limited number of clinicians also see patients at 8990 Kirby Drive, Houston, TX 77054. We confirm availability when you book. Call (281) 766 3602.
