CBT-I: A Better Answer for Sleep Problems
WHAT IS CBT-I?
The evidence-based, non-pharmacological gold standard
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a brief (6-8 sessions), evidence-based, structured treatment for chronic insomnia and improving sleep.
CBT-I is non-pharmacological, but it can be used alongside sleep medications or as a tapering support. It treats the behavioral and cognitive drivers of insomnia, making it effective when medication alone falls short.

CBT-N
Renew Behavioral Health also provides Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Nightmares (CBT-N), an evidence-based treatment for chronic nightmare disorder and trauma-related sleep disturbances.

Ideal for patients with PTSD, anxiety, or non-restorative sleep driven by frequent nightmares.
