Our approach
We look for causes first: mood, anxiety, trauma, substances, medical conditions and daily routines. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the recommended first-line treatment, and we can guide you on its core steps or refer you. When medication is used, we choose it carefully and avoid long-term reliance on habit-forming sleep aids. If sleep apnea or another sleep disorder is suspected, we refer you for a sleep study.

Sleep care for Atkinson residents
For families commuting to Haverhill, Salem and the I-495 corridor, poor sleep often comes from stress, anxiety, low mood or irregular schedules rather than a lack of tiredness. We look for the cause first, then build a plan that includes CBT-I principles and careful, limited use of medication when it helps.
Living in Atkinson
Atkinson is a small, mostly residential town on the Massachusetts border, known for its rolling conservation land, the Atkinson Country Club and the historic Kimball Public Library. Many residents commute to Haverhill, Salem or along I-495, and teens attend Timberlane Regional schools with Atkinson, Danville and Sandown.
When it might be something else
Loud snoring, gasping at night or severe daytime sleepiness can point to sleep apnea, and restless legs can also disrupt sleep. We refer to sleep medicine specialists when a sleep study is needed.
Getting care from Atkinson
From Atkinson, our Salem office is about 15 minutes by car. Many Atkinson patients use secure video for follow-ups and come to Salem when an in-person visit adds something.
