Dr. Bajaj provides Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (aka. CBT-I sleep therapy) to patients in New Jersey and New York.

CBT-I is an evidence-based, science backed approach to sleep therapy that offers a durable solution to insomnia. By addressing your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that hinder sleep, CBT-I sleep therapy provides a scientifically validated alternative to sleep medications. Patients gain lasting results without the downsides of relying on sleeping pills. 

80% of Patients Report Better Sleep Within 4-8 Sessions 

CBT-I is the gold standard in sleep therapy and endorsed by the American Academy of Physicians as the first-choice treatment for insomnia because of its:

  • High Success Rate: The majority of our clients achieve their sleep goals.

  • Long-Term Benefits: Research supports CBT-I's effectiveness years after treatment

  • Safe for All Ages: Our methods are effective and safe, serving patients across New Jersey and New York

Trouble Sleeping Because You’re Worried About Sleep?

Sleep trouble or insomnia isn't merely occasional sleeplessness; it's a pervasive disorder that can significantly impact your daily life, leading to: 

  • fatigue

  • mood issues

  • decreased productivity

  • stress & anxiety 

CBT-I is recommended as the premier treatment for insomnia, focusing on long-term health and well-being by resolving both the physical & mental root causes of sleep disturbances.

Dr. Amoha Bajaj: CBT-I Sleep Therapist 

The best part of my work is seeing people meet their goals, create meaningful change, and improve confidence and self-esteem in the process. Knowledge is power.

I find that the education component of CBT (and CBT-I), the first and foremost aspect of this treatment, can be empowering and impactful for patients when they are in distress. Arming ourselves with knowledge can increase our confidence and efforts to do the work that follows in treatment.

CBT work includes self-monitoring, increasing self-awareness of thoughts/feelings/behaviors between sessions, evaluating the accuracy of our thoughts, and forming realistic conclusions - all while making meaningful progress towards treatment goals. I trust the patient as the expert on their life and work in collaboration at every point.

I look forward to working with you!
