Question 1

What do you do?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in helping you to better understand your sleep problem and develop specific solutions to restore your natural sleep. We do this by using the latest research-based tools and techniques. Dr. Baehr is double-board certified in sleep medicine and behavioral sleep medicine and is one of the most highly-trained clinicians providing CBT-I in the country.  Our treatment is useful for insomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, disorders of daytime sleepiness and for sleep anxiety.

Question 2

What happens if I need a sleep study?

Accepted Answer

Most people who are experiencing insomnia are not in need of a sleep study. However, during your first visit, Dr. Baehr will review your history to determine if a sleep study is indicated. If so, she will help you navigate a home sleep study through your primary doctor or work with you to find a local sleep laboratory to evaluate you for sleep disorders that can only be found through an in-lab sleep study.  We will then work to integrate the findings from your sleep study into your sleep plan. If you are in need of CPAP therapy for sleep apnea, we can help you coordinate that treatment with your primary physician or a sleep laboratory.

Question 3

Do you prescribe medication?

Accepted Answer

Insight Sleep Specialists work with you to optimize your sleep without prescription sleep medications. If you are currently taking sleep medications, we will work with your existing prescriber to help you achieve healthy sleep while reducing or eliminating medications, if you so desire.  Sometimes we may suggest supplements to help you sleep.

Question 4

Do you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

We are out of network for insurance. However, if your insurance plan has out-of-network benefits, you may submit for insurance reimbursement for a portion of our fees. Also, our fees can be applied to your health savings account. Are you ready to get started?

Question 5

Question 6

What makes you different?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Baehr is one of only 168 psychologists to pass the Sleep Medical Specialty Boards without going to medical school. There are very few clinicians who are double-boarded in both sleep medicine and behavioral sleep medicine who can provide the specialty care that she provides. She spent many years working in a general sleep medicine clinic, treating all of the sleep disorders, including sleep apnea, narcolepsy, hypersomnia, and insomnia. Thus, she is able to screen for all sleep disorders and also help support you on your journey if you have more than one sleep disorder. She also worked for many years as a psychotherapist and can help support any psychological vulnerabilities that arise during your treatment.
