What we treat

Insomnia and sleep problems

Insomnia is treated here as its own condition, not as a symptom that will fix itself once something else is fixed. Often it is what keeps everything else stuck.

Poor sleep makes depression, anxiety, attention, pain, and blood sugar worse. It is also one of the strongest predictors of relapse across most mental health conditions.

Types of insomnia

The right fix depends on which kind you have:

Trouble falling asleep.
Waking in the night and not getting back to sleep.
Waking far too early.
Sleeping enough hours but waking tired.
A body clock out of step with your schedule.

What gets ruled out first

Sleep apnea is the big one, and it is often missed, especially in people who snore, wake tired, or have gained weight. We screen for it first and arrange a sleep study when needed.

Restless legs, pain, reflux, thyroid problems, shift work, alcohol, caffeine, and some medicines can also play a part.

How insomnia is treated

Insomnia treatment is tailored to you. When medication is part of the plan, we choose it around your sleep pattern, your health, and your daily routine, and adjust it as you go.

Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) can be a great addition. It is a short course, usually six to eight sessions, that builds better sleep habits. We can coordinate it with a CBT-I provider as part of your plan.

Common questions

Will you prescribe something to help me sleep?

Yes, when it fits your plan. We start by understanding why you are not sleeping, then tailor medication to you.

Is melatonin worth taking?

It can help with sleep timing, and the right dose is often smaller than people expect. We are happy to talk through it with you.

Reaching out is the hardest part. We'll make the rest simple.
