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.

Who this treatment is for

You may be a good fit for the RISE Sleep Clinic if you:

  • Take a long time to fall asleep
  • Wake up during the night and can’t get back to sleep
  • Wake earlier than you want
  • Feel anxious or frustrated about sleep
  • Have struggled with insomnia for months or years

CBT-I is designed to treat the root causes of insomnia — not just the symptoms.

I wish more people knew about this. I can finally sleep better without a cocktail of medications every night.

Why virtual CBT-I 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
  • Access to licensed sleep experts who specialize in 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.

What makes Concord challenging for sleep?

Concord is a Charlotte suburb of 115,000 that has its own economic identity: Atrium Health Cabarrus is the largest employer, and the Charlotte Motor Speedway and NASCAR operations bring a hospitality and events economy that other suburbs don't have. The city is growing fast, and the commute into Charlotte adds another layer of daily stress.

  • Atrium Health Cabarrus: Atrium Health Cabarrus is a 457-bed regional hospital and the largest employer in Cabarrus County, with over 4,200 staff. Emergency, surgical, and inpatient operations run around the clock, and the nursing and clinical workforce on rotating schedules faces the same circadian disruption seen across every hospital system.
  • Charlotte commute and NASCAR hospitality: Many Concord residents commute 25-28 minutes into Charlotte for work. On top of that, the Charlotte Motor Speedway and its surrounding entertainment district employ thousands in events, hospitality, and service roles that peak on race weekends and run late into the night. The seasonal intensity of those events creates recurring sleep disruption.
  • Summer heat topping 89 degrees F: Concord's summers push highs past 89 degrees with winter lows around 33. The summer heat and humidity make bedrooms uncomfortable, particularly in older housing stock or for families managing energy costs. The 56-degree seasonal swing also means sleep environment changes significantly throughout the year.

North Carolina's uninsured rate is 8.6% following Medicaid expansion. Atrium Health Cabarrus is strong for acute care, but specialized sleep medicine in a Charlotte suburb often means a referral into the city. Telehealth CBT-I eliminates that extra commute. Most insurance plans cover it, and sessions typically run 6-8 weeks.
