Dr. Ross recently stopped by KPRC2 / Click2Houston to chat with Haley Hernandez about the benefits of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, or CBT-I, which is the gold standard for treating insomnia.

At Coping Resource Center, our clinicians understand how frustrating insomnia can be and are dedicated to helping you get a good night’s sleep through evidenced-based practices, including CBT-I.

Recently, we launched our Well Rested program, which helps you reset your sleep naturally and effectively through CBT-I. Well Rested will help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling restored.

Learn more at CopingResourceCenter.com/well-rested-insomnia-treatment-program/ or give us a call at 832-278-1849. We’d love to help you get the rest you deserve.
