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 Plaistow residents
For retail, trades and Massachusetts commuters along Route 125, 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 Plaistow
Plaistow sits right on the Massachusetts line, with the busy Route 125 shopping corridor on one side and quiet residential streets on the other. Many residents work across the border in Haverhill or along I-495, and teens attend Timberlane Regional schools with neighboring towns.
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 Plaistow
From Plaistow, our Salem office is about 20 minutes by car. Many Plaistow patients use secure video for follow-ups and come to Salem when an in-person visit adds something.
