What it looks like

Bad sleep wears more than one face

Sleep problems rarely show up as a single, clean symptom. Most people land here with some combination of trouble falling asleep, waking through the night, vivid dreams, and days that feel underwater. Any of these are worth bringing in. A psychiatric evaluation can help clarify what's going on and guide the right next steps for your care.

  • Insomnia Disorder

    Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early — at least three nights a week, for months — that's wrecking your days.

  • Difficulty Falling Asleep / Staying Asleep

    Lying awake at the start of the night, or surfacing at 3 a.m. and watching the ceiling, even when you're exhausted.

  • Nightmare Disorder

    Vivid, distressing dreams that wake you, stay with you the next day, and start to make you dread going to bed.

  • Night Terrors

    Sudden, intense arousal from deep sleep — often with screaming, sweating, or confusion — that you may not even remember in the morning.

  • Circadian Rhythm Disturbances

    A body clock that's out of phase with the life you're living — late-shifted sleep, jet lag patterns, shift-work strain — leaving you tired at the wrong times.

How we treat it

How we approach sleep care

Insomnia treatment begins with a 60-minute psychiatric evaluation conducted through secure telehealth. We'll map out your sleep pattern, daytime functioning, substance use, mental health, and any contributing medical issues — so we treat the actual cause and not just the symptom.

For most adults, the first move is CBT-I-focused psychotherapy — practical changes to sleep timing, stimulus control, and the habits that quietly perpetuate insomnia. When medication is the right call, medication management covers options ranging from melatonin and trazodone to short-term hypnotics, prazosin for nightmares, or treating the anxiety/depression that's actually running the bedroom.

Follow-ups stay close early on as we adjust the plan, then space out as your sleep stabilizes. If something looks like sleep apnea or another medical sleep disorder, we'll partner with a sleep medicine clinic on the pieces that need their lab.

Sleep FAQ

Common questions about sleep care

Do I have to start with sleep medication?

No. For most adults with insomnia, the first-line treatment is cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and behavioral adjustments — not medication. Where medication is appropriate, we discuss the options (and their tradeoffs) openly so you can decide what feels right.

Could my sleep problem be caused by something else?

Often, yes. Anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, alcohol, late-day caffeine, undiagnosed sleep apnea, and certain medications all affect sleep. Part of the first visit is sorting out whether your sleep issue is the primary problem or a downstream symptom — and treating it where it actually starts.

Do you order sleep studies?

Stillwell doesn't directly order in-lab polysomnography, but if your evaluation suggests obstructive sleep apnea or another medical sleep disorder, we'll refer you to a sleep medicine clinic and coordinate care alongside them.

How quickly can I be seen?
