What is Sleep Disorder Treatment?
Sleep disorder treatment is care that helps you fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up rested. It is more than just being told to try harder to sleep. For many people, it means looking at what is keeping them up, addressing it, and using medication thoughtfully when it helps, matched to their sleep and their life.
Because poor sleep and mental health feed each other, we treat them together, coordinating with your therapist or primary care provider when that supports your progress.
Care is led by Dr. Aminata Kamara, a board-certified psychiatric and family nurse practitioner (PMHNP), alongside our clinical team.
Does this sound like you?
Sleep disorders are more than one sleepless night. Day to day, it can feel like:
You lie awake for what feels like hours, unable to fall asleep
You wake up in the middle of the night and cannot drift back off
Your mind starts racing the moment your head hits the pillow
You wake far too early and cannot get the rest you need
You drag through the day exhausted, foggy, and short-tempered
Types of Sleep Disorders We Treat
Trouble falling asleep
When you lie awake at the start of the night, unable to wind down.
Trouble staying asleep
When you wake through the night or far too early and cannot get back to sleep.
Anxiety-driven sleeplessness
When a racing mind or worry keeps you from the rest you need.
Non-restorative sleep
When you sleep but still wake up tired, foggy, and unrefreshed.
Insomnia with another condition
When sleep trouble comes with anxiety, depression, or another condition, it needs a plan that treats both.
How We Approach Your Care
We start by understanding you
We take time to understand your sleep patterns, what you have already tried, and what your days look like.
We explain what we find
We treat the sleep and what is underneath it, so the rest you get holds rather than slipping away again.
We find the right medication
When medication can help, we use it thoughtfully and for the right length of time, adjusting based on how you respond.
We pair medication with support
Medication is one piece, and we pair it with practical sleep strategies and coordinate with your other providers.
We stay with you
Sleep needs change over time, so we keep checking in and adjusting as your rest and your life shift.
As part of a thorough evaluation, we order baseline labs to help rule out other medical causes for your symptoms
We're a good fit for you, if:
You're an adult, teen, or child (age 5 and up) struggling to sleep
Poor sleep is draining your energy, mood, and focus during the day
You want to treat the cause of your sleeplessness, not just mask it

We look at what is disrupting your sleep, treat any underlying condition like anxiety or depression, use medication thoughtfully when it helps, and pair it with practical sleep strategies. We tailor the plan to you and adjust over time.
Will I have to be on sleep medication forever?
