Amanda Finegold Swain

I am a board-certified family medicine physician who delivers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI).

After completing medical school at Mount Sinai in New York City, I relocated to Philadelphia for my residency in Family Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. Since 2005, I have worked in private practice as well as large health systems and my clinical practice has been in full-spectrum, community-based care, treating patients ages 0-99+. In addition to my expertise in primary care, I have completed training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia and have completed a Mini-Fellowship for Behavioral Sleep Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

So, why my interest in sleep? After four years of medical school and three years of residency, it was only after becoming a parent that I truly grasped what a lack of good sleep can do for our health! The quality and quantity of our sleep informs so much of what we can accomplish in our waking hours! Taking time to focus on improving our sleep health can have lifelong effects on our physical and mental health. I feel passionately about this after years spent treating the medical, psychological, and social effects of poor and insufficient sleep of my patients.
