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 Northwood residents
For commuters to Concord, Dover and Manchester in Northwood, 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 Northwood
Northwood is a lake town along Route 4 between Concord and the Seacoast. High school students often attend Coe-Brown Northwood Academy. The drive to Salem is close to an hour, so video visits are common.
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 Northwood
From Northwood, our Salem office is about 55 minutes by car. Many Northwood patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
