CBT-I GROUP THERAPY FOR ILLINOIS AND TEXAS RESIDENTS
Chronic Insomnia Treatment for Adults Who Are Done Losing Sleep
Insomnia doesn’t just take your sleep. It takes everything that depends on it.
You may be dragging through meetings while colleagues seems sharp and focused. Watching the clock at 2am, calculating how many hours you have left. Dreading bedtime before you even finished dinner.
Your brain won’t quiet down when it’s supposed to. Or you fall asleep fine and wake up at 3am like clockwork (heart pumping, mind already running). Sleep feels conditional. Rest feels out of reach. And there’s a specific kind of loneliness that comes with being exhausted in a way that isn’t invisible, especially when everyone around you seems to have no problem closing their eyes.
Instead you’re managing nights that won’t cooperate and days that pay the price. This group exists for people living inside that cycle.
So, What the Hell is Chronic Insomnia?
Chronic insomnia means persistent difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early (occurring at least 3 nights per week for 3 months or more, despite having adequate time and opportunity to sleep). Its not just a few rough nights. It becomes a pattern that takes on a life of its own.
Medical providers can address physical contributors. The thought patterns, the behavioral cycles, and the hyperarousal keeping your nervous system alert at midnight? That often goes entirely unaddressed.
Insomnia changes more than your nights. It changes how you move through your entire life
Sleep Onset Insomnia
Difficulty falling asleep at the start of the night. Your body is horizontal, but your brain is still fully operational.
Example include:
racing thoughts, bedtime anxiety, lying awake for an hour or more, and the mind reviewing everything that happened or might happen
Sleep Maintenance Insomnia
You fall asleep without much trouble but wake in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep
Examples include:
waking between 2-4am, the mind switching back on immediately, frustration and clock-watching making it harder to resettle
Early Morning Waking
Waking significantly earlier than intended and being unable to return to sleep, regardless of what time you went to bed.
Examples include:
waking before 5am, unrefreshing sleep in the final hours, and fatigue that sets in well before the day is done
Lets Be Honest For a Minute.
You’re still showing up. Still performing “functional.” Still saying you’re just tired when people ask, because explaining chronic insomnia to someone who sleeps fine take energy you don’t have.
And when your body won’t cooperate, when you snap at someone you love, miss something important, or cancel plans because you’re running on nothing, you’re somehow the one who feels like a failure.
The exhaustion is real. The anxiety around sleep is real. The way insomnia quietly erodes your mood, your focus, and your self of self is real too.
You deserve a space where none of that needs explaining.
This CBT-I group therapy program facilitated by a licensed therapist. While structured therapeutic tools will be introduced, the focus is on behavioral and cognitive strategies for sleep, peer connection and guided practice.

Interested in joining?
Complete the inquiry form below. We’ll begin with a brief 15 minute consultation call to ensure the group feels like a good fit.
You’ll have space to share what you’ve been navigating with sleep and what you’re hoping for from group.
This group is not a substitute for medical care, crisis support, or individual therapy. It is also not the right fit for individuals with active cognitive concerns, diagnoses that may significantly impact group participation, or those in acute mental health distress. If you're unsure whether it's a good fit, we'll talk it through it together.
