CBT-I, the gold standard for chronic insomnia.
If you are reading this in the small hours, I am glad you found your way here. Insomnia is exhausting, and willpower alone rarely fixes it. CBT-I is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps your body and mind find their way back to sleep, without leaning on medication. I would be glad to help you get there.
Insomnia is not just the occasional rough night. It is trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early, happening often enough that it wears on your days. Maybe your mind switches on the moment your head hits the pillow. Maybe you fall asleep fine but wake at 3 a.m. and cannot drift back. Either way, it starts to color your mood, your focus, and your patience with the people you love.
Here is the part most people are never told. After a few weeks, the original trigger often fades into the background, and the real problem becomes the worry about sleep itself, along with the habits we pick up trying to cope. That is good news, because those patterns can be changed.
You do not have to keep white knuckling your way through the night. Insomnia is highly treatable, and you do not have to do it alone.
CBT-I is the gold-standard, first-line treatment for chronic insomnia — recommended by sleep medicine experts worldwide and proven to be more effective long-term than sleep medication.
Rather than masking symptoms, CBT-I addresses the root causes: the thoughts, behaviors, and habits that keep your brain wired for wakefulness. It's structured, short-term, and designed to create lasting change.
We begin with a thorough assessment of your sleep history, patterns, and any contributing factors.
A counterintuitive but powerful technique that consolidates your sleep and rebuilds sleep drive.
We identify and gently challenge the thoughts and beliefs keeping you anxious about sleep.

Schedule Consultation
Many clients prefer to pay privately rather than use insurance. Private pay is $250 for your first (intake) session and $200 for each follow-up session. I am also in network with Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, and Optum/United Healthcare, and a monthly superbill is available if you would like to seek out-of-network reimbursement. See fees and details →
Everything you want to know before taking the first step toward better sleep.
CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) is a structured, short-term therapy that targets the thoughts and behaviors maintaining chronic sleep problems — like anxious thoughts about sleep, irregular schedules, and habits that keep your brain wired at bedtime. And yes, it really works. Research consistently shows CBT-I outperforms sleep medication long-term, with no side effects or dependency risk. It is the first-line treatment recommended by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
CBT-I is typically 6–8 sessions, though some people see significant improvement sooner. It's structured, focused, and designed for real-world results — not open-ended treatment.
Not necessarily. Dr. Corley will conduct a thorough sleep assessment in the first session. A sleep study may be recommended if another sleep disorder (like sleep apnea) is suspected.
Yes. CBT-I can be done alongside sleep medication, and many clients are able to reduce or eliminate medication as their sleep improves — always in coordination with their prescribing doctor.
Yes. Restwell Therapy is in-network with Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS), and Optum/United Healthcare. Contact Dr. Corley to verify your specific plan and benefits before scheduling.
Yes! Some of Dr. Corley's patients have already tried CBT-I approaches in the past. Some have had success and are experiencing a backslide and want support returning to good sleep. Others did not have a good experience with CBT-I and did not find it helpful for them. In the initial intake session, Dr. Corley will assess prior CBT-I experiences and provide feedback at the end of the session on whether she thinks she will be able to help you.
