Why choose our team?

What CBT-I offers your patient

  • An individual sleep plan

    Treatment uses the patient’s sleep diary to address irregular sleep patterns and time spent awake in bed.

  • Tools for continued progress

    Patients practice techniques they can use after the weekly sessions finish.

  • CBT-I expertise

    Clinicians are licensed in Colorado and trained in behavioral treatment for insomnia.

  • Help understanding costs

    We verify insurance and explain the patient’s expected share before the evaluation.

  • Coordination with your practice

    Patient permission allows our clinician to coordinate treatment goals and share changes in sleep with your team.

Which patients should be referred?

Our adult insomnia service may help patients with:

  • Ongoing difficulty falling asleep or getting back to sleep after waking.
  • Sleep problems that persist despite care for anxiety, low mood or sleep apnea.
  • A preference for a behavioral treatment instead of additional sleep medication.

Specialized insomnia care that complements therapy

Your patient can keep working with their therapist while receiving CBT-I. Sleep becomes the focus of a separate, structured treatment plan.

The clinician sets a sleep schedule using the patient’s own daily records.

Suspect sleep apnea too?

Insomnia often occurs alongside sleep apnea. We treat insomnia and coordinate with partner providers for any apnea care the patient needs.

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 Colorado 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 Colorado Sleep Center does not require a particular score.

Evaluation and treatment in Colorado

Patients do not need to wait for a referral to schedule with us. Book an appointment.

1

We contact your patient

After a Colorado referral arrives, intake contacts the patient to discuss appointment options and insurance.

2

Treatment begins

The evaluation reviews sleep history, medications, work schedules and other conditions that may affect sleep. Patients then keep a daily sleep diary in our app. Over six to eight weeks, the clinician adjusts their sleep schedule, addresses sleep-related worry and develops a plan for maintaining improvements.

3

We keep you informed

Patient permission allows our clinician to coordinate treatment goals and share changes in sleep with your team.

Most Colorado patients have video appointments with a clinician licensed in the state. A limited number of clinicians also meet patients in person at the Denver office; booking staff confirm availability. Each appointment requires the patient to be physically in Colorado.
