Maryland Sleep Center helps adults address chronic insomnia through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).
Send the five items below directly to our intake team, without completing another form.
Relevant clinical history is welcome, but not required.
Our team contacts your patient to arrange an assessment.
What makes CBT-I useful?
The treatment addresses sleep schedules, bedtime habits and worries that make sleep more difficult.
The aim is to help patients manage their sleep after the course is complete.
Patients receive CBT-I from clinicians licensed to practice in Maryland.
We review insurance benefits before the first visit and bill the accepted plan.
Once your patient authorizes communication, our clinician can discuss the care plan and progress with you.
We assess patients with concerns such as:
Insomnia may need specific treatment even when a patient is already in therapy. CBT-I can address that need while the patient continues their other care.
The clinician helps the patient establish a sleep schedule based on their daily diary.
Sleep apnea and insomnia commonly overlap. Our clinicians manage the insomnia and coordinate referrals to partners for apnea treatment when required.
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 Maryland Sleep Center.
For the first three questions, please rate the current (last 2 weeks) severity of your insomnia problem(s):
A score is not a diagnosis. Discuss the result and your sleep history with a licensed clinician. A referral to Maryland Sleep Center does not require a particular score.

Patients can also contact us directly to arrange their own assessment. Book an appointment.
Maryland scheduling staff follow up with your patient to arrange an assessment and explain coverage.
The initial assessment takes about 50 minutes and reviews sleep history, prior treatment and medications. Follow-up visits are usually weekly, with the main course lasting six to eight weeks. The patient keeps a sleep diary, and the clinician uses it to adjust the plan and review progress.
Once your patient authorizes communication, our clinician can discuss the care plan and progress with you.
Most patients receive video care from a Maryland-licensed clinician. A limited number of clinicians also see patients in person at our Baltimore office; the scheduling team confirms availability. Patients must be within Maryland throughout their appointments.
