About Insomnia Therapy
What is insomnia therapy?
Insomnia therapy is a highly effective, clinically supported, first-line treatment for insomnia and behavioural sleep disorders. Utilizing a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) approach, clinicians work with you to understand your sleep thoughts and behaviours, implement strategies to modify and adapt them positively, and improve your overall sleep experience. Insomnia therapy improves the quality of your sleep, leading to improved daytime performance.
Insomnia therapy is the most recommended and effective long-term solution to insomnia.
At Careica Health, we have three great insomnia therapy options to fit your needs: a six-week, therapist-led digital therapy program, group therapy in a supportive environment, and one-on-one therapy with a registered therapist.

Hear from our satisfied sleepersâ
We sleep better knowing youâre sleeping better.
I've been feeling so much better during the days. Seems the fatigue is mostly gone, I've been way more energetic, so been getting more stuff done. The greatest part is that I feel I can finally make plans for days in advance and not worry about whether or not I'll have slept the night before.
If you are having troubles with sleep, this is the answer. I'd tried several medications and other natural ways to stay asleep. After 6 sessions, I know have quality sleep and the tools to right the ship if I start to sink into insomnia again. Thank you Careica and Aaron.
The thing I struggled with the most was staying asleep at night. I would wake up in the middle of the night and be awake for 2-3 hours, struggling to fall back asleep. I tried everything, including sleep aids and sleeping pills for over a year. I just really wanted to get off those and not rely on them anymore. After completing insomnia therapy. I'm so much happier, have more energy, and my quality of life is definitely better. My life is just better overall from it.
I have not been to ANY medical clinic of any kind, where I felt as important, and that my health was as important, as here. Highly recommend!
For the first time in over 20 years, I've been able to sleep through the night! Unbelievable results, thank you Careica.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I have insomnia?
Insomnia is typically diagnosed based on your personal sleep experience. If you have difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or returning to sleep after waking up, you may have insomnia. Anxiety about bedtime and poor sleep affecting your daytime mood or performance can also indicate insomnia. If these describe you, our insomnia therapy can help!
How is insomnia treated?
The most effective, long-term solution to insomnia is cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I)âor “insomnia therapy” for short. Sleeping pills treat only your symptoms and are generally not recommended as a lasting solution.
Do I need an insomnia diagnosis to start therapy?
No! You do not need a formal diagnosis to start insomnia therapy.
Will treatment help if I donât have clinical insomnia?
Absolutely! Our insomnia treatment is designed to help anyone improve their sleep quality, mood, and daytime performance.
How long will the insomnia therapy program take?
Our programs typically run for 6 weeks, but improvements are often seen in as little as 3-4 weeks! There is no set duration for digital therapy, so you can go at your own pace.
Is treatment covered by my insurance?
The extent of your insurance coverage depends on your specific provider and plan. If your plan covers âpsychotherapy,â then you may have coverage. Our treatment also qualifies for most health savings accounts (HSAs) and the federal medical expense tax credit (for residents of ON and QC). Â If you are not sure what your plan covers, we can help determine your coverage!
Does insomnia therapy work?
Yes! CBT-I is an evidence-based solution with an average success rate of 70-80%. Our insomnia therapy success rate is even higher, with over 90% of past participants reporting improvements in their sleep!
What improvements can I expect to see in my sleep?
Several! Reduced time to fall asleep, reduced time to return to sleep after waking, less anxiety about going to bed, and improved daytime mood and performance are just some of the improvements you can expect to see.
How is this treatment different from free CBT-I apps?
This is not a âDIYâ solution. Youâll be in constant communication with your insomnia therapist the entire time! Unlike self-guided apps, our insomnia therapists work with you directly, providing you with the guidance and support needed to improve your sleep. This leads to a much higher treatment success rate.
