When rest stops being restful.
Sleep problems rarely stand alone — they interact with anxiety, mood, medication, and medical health. Addressing sleep directly often improves everything else.
What this can look like
- Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep
- Waking too early and not being able to return to sleep
- Feeling unrested even after a full night
- Daytime fatigue, low mood, or difficulty concentrating
- Reliance on alcohol or over-the-counter sleep aids
How we help
- Careful assessment for underlying anxiety, depression, apnea, or medication effects
- Non-medication strategies first when appropriate (CBT-I coordination, sleep hygiene)
- Thoughtful medication use when needed, with attention to dependence risk
- Coordination with your primary care provider for medical contributors
Private self-check
Sleep self-check (ISI-lite)
Rate the current severity of your insomnia problem(s).
This short check-in is based on the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). It's a starting point — not a diagnosis.
For teens 13–17: A parent or guardian is typically involved in scheduling and the first visit after you submit this self-check. If you're in crisis, please call or text 988 instead of waiting for an email.
Frequently asked
Questions about sleep & insomnia care
- Is insomnia a psychiatric issue or a medical one?
- Often both. Sleep problems can be driven by anxiety, depression, or medication side effects — and by medical issues like sleep apnea or thyroid disease. Our evaluation looks at both angles and coordinates with your PCP when needed.
- Do you prescribe sleep medications?
- When appropriate. We favor non-medication approaches like CBT-I first, and when medication is used we prefer options with lower dependence risk and clear follow-up.
- Can you help if I already use sleep aids or alcohol to sleep?
- Yes. We take a non-judgmental approach and help you build a plan to sleep well without relying on substances that undermine long-term rest.
- Do I need a sleep study?
- Sometimes. If your history suggests sleep apnea or another sleep disorder, we'll coordinate with sleep medicine or your PCP to get the right workup.
