Condition We Treat

Insomnia Treatment in Austin & San Antonio

Insomnia makes it difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, or get restorative sleep — causing daytime tiredness, concentration problems, and mood disturbances. Left untreated, it raises the risk of depression, anxiety, and chronic disease. Our specialists help you break the cycle and reclaim restful nights.

Understanding insomnia

Insomnia is more than the occasional rough night. When poor sleep becomes a pattern, it feeds on itself — worry about sleep makes sleep harder to come by, and the resulting fatigue colors every part of your day. Left unaddressed, persistent insomnia can erode concentration, strain relationships, and worsen physical and mental health.

The encouraging news is that insomnia responds extremely well to treatment — and often without medication. By identifying the habits, thoughts, and underlying conditions that keep you awake, we can retrain your sleep and restore your confidence in it. Most patients see meaningful, lasting improvement.

Types of Insomnia

Insomnia takes many forms

Acute Insomnia

Short-term sleeplessness, usually triggered by stress, a major life change, or a disruption to your routine. It often resolves on its own but can benefit from early support.

Chronic Insomnia

Sleep difficulty occurring at least three nights a week for three months or longer. This persistent pattern typically requires targeted treatment to fully resolve.

Comorbid Insomnia

Insomnia that occurs alongside another condition such as anxiety, depression, or chronic pain. We address both the sleep problem and its contributing factors.

Onset Insomnia

Trouble falling asleep at the start of the night, often tied to racing thoughts, anxiety, or an out-of-sync internal clock.

Maintenance Insomnia

Trouble staying asleep — waking through the night or too early and struggling to drift back off, leaving sleep fragmented and unrefreshing.

Diagnosis & Treatment

How we diagnose and treat insomnia

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)

The gold-standard, drug-free treatment for chronic insomnia. CBT-I reshapes the thoughts and behaviors that keep you awake — retraining your sleep for lasting, medication-free relief.

Short-Term Medication Management

When appropriate, we use carefully selected, short-term medication to ease the transition while behavioral strategies take hold — always with a plan to taper.

Sleep Hygiene & Lifestyle Modifications

We help you build sleep-supportive habits — consistent schedules, a calming bedroom environment, and mindful use of caffeine, alcohol, and screens.

Relaxation Techniques

Mindfulness, progressive muscle relaxation, and breathing exercises calm the body and quiet the mind, making it easier to fall — and stay — asleep.
