Insomnia Psychiatrist in Jaffrey NH

Long-term insomnia affects mood, focus and health. PsychNashua psychiatrists help Jaffrey patients find the cause and treat it without relying on habit-forming sleep aids.

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 Jaffrey residents

For manufacturing workers and commuters to Keene and Peterborough in Jaffrey, 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 Jaffrey

Jaffrey is a town at the foot of Mount Monadnock. Most Jaffrey patients see us by secure video because of the distance to Salem.

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.
