+ MORE INSURANCE PROVIDERS

A sleep therapist treats insomnia with behavioral therapy rather than medication. At the RISE Sleep Clinic that therapist is a licensed clinical psychologist, and the treatment is CBT-I — Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, which the American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends as first-line treatment for chronic insomnia, ahead of sleeping pills. Sessions run weekly over secure video, so West Palm Beach residents can start without a referral and without waiting on a sleep-lab appointment.

RISE bills major insurance plans directly, including Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare, and UnitedHealthcare; network status, benefits and out-of-pocket costs are verified with your plan before treatment begins.

For the first time, I had a safe place to talk about why I wasn't sleeping and someone who could show me exactly how to fix it. By improving my sleep, positive changes in the rest of my life just started stacking up.

Why virtual sleep therapy works

Virtual CBT-I delivers the same evidence-based insomnia treatment as in-person care — with fewer barriers.

  • Comparable outcomes to in-person treatment
  • No commuting or waiting rooms
  • Easier scheduling that fits real life
  • Licensed insomnia therapists — psychologists who specialize in chronic insomnia
  • Practice sleep strategies in your own bedroom environment
  • Secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions

You get expert insomnia treatment without disrupting your life.

How the RISE app supports your care

Some patients choose to use the RISE app alongside therapy to better understand their sleep patterns and stay engaged between sessions. The app is included as part of your treatment at the RISE Sleep Clinic, at no additional cost.

The app can help you:

  • Track sleep consistency and timing
  • Understand circadian rhythm patterns
  • Reinforce strategies from therapy
  • See progress over time

Your psychologist will help you decide how — or whether — the app fits into your treatment. Therapy always comes first.

I feel like I finally understand the way sleep works and more importantly, how to make it work for me.

Nafeesa, 45

What to expect from treatment

  • Weekly virtual CBT-I sessions with a licensed sleep therapist
  • A structured, time-limited course of care (not open-ended therapy)
  • Clear guidance and adjustments between sessions based on your sleep patterns
  • Support when setbacks happen — including stress, travel, or schedule changes
  • Practical tools and skills you can continue using long after treatment ends

No guesswork. No trial-and-error sleep hacks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is treatment at the RISE Sleep Clinic covered by insurance?
Yes. The RISE Sleep Clinic is in-network with Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare and UnitedHealthcare. CBT-I is delivered by licensed psychologists, so it is billed under your plan's mental health or behavioral health benefit — the same benefit that covers other outpatient therapy. Your specific benefits and expected costs are verified with your plan before treatment begins, so you know your cost before you start.
Is a sleep therapist the same as a CBT-I therapist?
In practice, yes. “Sleep therapist” and “insomnia therapist” are the everyday names for a clinician who treats insomnia with behavioral therapy instead of medication. The treatment itself is called CBT-I, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia. At the RISE Sleep Clinic every sleep therapist is a licensed clinical psychologist with specific training in CBT-I.
Is treatment at the RISE Sleep Clinic in person or online?
All treatment at the RISE Sleep Clinic is delivered virtually through secure telehealth appointments.
Do I need a sleep doctor or a sleep therapist for insomnia?
It depends on what is keeping you awake. A sleep doctor is a physician, usually board-certified in sleep medicine, and is the right person for a sleep disorder that needs testing or medical treatment — sleep apnea, restless legs, narcolepsy. A sleep therapist treats the insomnia itself with behavioral therapy. For chronic insomnia, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the American College of Physicians both recommend CBT-I ahead of medication, so behavioral treatment is usually the starting point. RISE Sleep Clinic clinicians are licensed clinical psychologists, not physicians. They do not prescribe medication, and if your assessment points to something CBT-I does not treat, they will tell you and help you find a sleep physician.
Do I need to live in West Palm Beach to receive care from the RISE Sleep Clinic?
No. Treatment is delivered virtually. The RISE Sleep Clinic serves adults across Florida, including West Palm Beach.
How quickly can I start treatment at the RISE Sleep Clinic?
Most patients are able to start treatment within a few days of completing their assessment. Because care is delivered through telehealth, the RISE Sleep Clinic can often offer faster access than traditional sleep clinics with long in-person waitlists.
How do I find a sleep specialist near me for insomnia?
Two routes. Directories will show you who practices near you: the Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine lists clinicians by state at behavioralsleep.org. Expect a short list — the American Board of Sleep Medicine’s public directory of certified behavioral sleep medicine specialists shows fewer than fifteen practice locations in most states. The other route is telehealth. Because RISE Sleep Clinic psychologists practice across state lines through PSYPACT, a psychologist licensed in your own state can usually see you within days, over video rather than a drive to a clinic.
Is virtual insomnia treatment as effective as in-person care?
Yes. Research shows that virtual CBT-I delivers outcomes comparable to in-person treatment. Telehealth CBT-I produces similar improvements in sleep efficiency, total sleep time, and insomnia severity, while allowing you to practice sleep strategies in your own bedroom environment.
Who provides care at the RISE Sleep Clinic?
Care is provided by licensed psychologists who specialize in insomnia and CBT-I. All psychologists treating Florida residents through the RISE Sleep Clinic are licensed to practice in Florida via PSYPACT, the interstate telehealth compact.
What’s the difference between CBT-I and sleep therapy?
None, for insomnia. “Sleep therapy” and “insomnia therapy” are the plain-English names people search for; CBT-I is the clinical name for the version with the evidence behind it. CBT-I has a defined structure — sleep restriction, stimulus control, work on the thoughts that keep insomnia going, and sleep hygiene — usually over 6 to 10 weekly sessions. If a provider offers “sleep therapy” without naming CBT-I, ask which protocol they follow.
Do I need a referral to start treatment at the RISE Sleep Clinic?
No referral is required to begin treatment at the RISE Sleep Clinic.
Is the RISE Sleep Clinic the same as the RISE app?
They’re different, but they’re both offered by the same company, Rise Science. The RISE Sleep Clinic provides one-on-one insomnia treatment with licensed psychologists. The RISE app is optional and included as part of your treatment at no additional cost. Some patients use the app to track sleep patterns between sessions and support their care, but it is not required.

What makes West Palm Beach challenging for sleep?

West Palm Beach is the seat of Palm Beach County, a city of 128,000 where healthcare, financial services, and tourism drive the economy. The wealth of nearby Palm Beach island creates a service economy alongside the corporate offices, and the tropical climate means heat and humidity are year-round factors, not seasonal inconveniences.

  • Healthcare facilities running 24/7: Good Samaritan Medical Center, St. Mary's Medical Center, and Palm Beach Children's Hospital all operate in the area. The combined healthcare workforce rotates through night shifts, weekend shifts, and on-call schedules year-round. For nurses and clinical staff, the irregular hours compound the heat-related sleep disruption that comes with living in South Florida.
  • Financial services and growing aerospace sector: West Palm Beach has attracted financial services firms and aerospace companies looking for Florida's tax advantages. The professional workforce carries deadline pressure and cognitive load, while the service-economy workers who support the tourism and hospitality sector work late hours and weekends. Both patterns create insomnia risk.
  • Tropical heat from June through September: West Palm Beach temperatures reach the low 90s in summer with oppressive humidity. The heat doesn't meaningfully break at night, and from June through September, bedroom temperatures stay elevated unless AC runs continuously. For the 10.9 percent of Floridians without insurance, even managing the utility bill to keep the bedroom cool enough to sleep becomes a financial stress.

Palm Beach Health Network operates multiple hospitals in the county. Florida's uninsured rate is approximately 10.9 percent, with about 4.7 million Floridians on ACA marketplace plans. Telehealth CBT-I fits the South Florida lifestyle: no fighting traffic on I-95 to get to an appointment. Most insurance plans cover it, and sessions typically run 6-8 weeks.
