Question 1

What concerns does Dr. Mason work with?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Mason provides specialized behavioral care for insomnia, circadian rhythm and sleep-timing concerns, difficulty adjusting to PAP treatment, sleep-related anxiety and arousal, behavioral support for narcolepsy or hypersomnia, and sleep concerns affecting daytime function or performance. An initial consultation can also help determine whether another medical, sleep, or mental-health evaluation should be part of your next step.

What does treatment usually involve?

Treatment is individualized and may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, sleep scheduling, stimulus control, circadian interventions, strategies for reducing sleep-related arousal, cognitive approaches, PAP adherence support, and relapse prevention. CBT-I is more comprehensive than general sleep-hygiene advice.

Question 3

How long does treatment take?

Most clients complete approximately 6 to 8 weekly visits. Some need fewer appointments. Others may benefit from a longer course of care or an occasional booster appointment. The recommended schedule depends on your concerns, medical context, goals, and response to treatment.

Question 4

Are appointments virtual, and where can I be located?

Accepted Answer

Clinical appointments are provided through a secure telehealth platform. You must be physically located in a jurisdiction where Dr. Mason is licensed or legally authorized to practice at the time of the appointment.

Do you accept insurance?

Does Dr. Mason prescribe medication or replace a sleep physician?

Question 7

What happens after I contact the practice?

Accepted Answer

The practice will review your inquiry and respond with information about availability and next steps. You may be asked to complete a brief screening before scheduling so we can confirm location eligibility and whether the service appears appropriate for your needs. If an appointment is scheduled, clinical forms and records will be exchanged through the secure client portal rather than the public website form.
