Quality sleep is essential for emotional stability, mental clarity, and physical health. When sleep becomes difficult, irregular, or unrefreshing, it affects every part of life — mood, energy, focus, relationships, and overall well-being.

At VICC Psychiatry, we provide compassionate evaluation and treatment for insomnia and other sleep-related disorders, offering personalized care through telehealth or in-person appointments. Whether your sleep concerns are caused by stress, anxiety, depression, medical conditions, or lifestyle habits, we help you restore rest and balance.

• Insomnia – Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early.
• Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders – Sleep patterns out of alignment with day/night cycles (shift work, jet lag, irregular schedules).
• Anxiety-Related Sleep Disorders – Racing thoughts, nighttime worry, or panic that interrupts sleep.
• Depression-Related Sleep Disturbance – Sleeping too much (hypersomnia) or too little (insomnia).
• Behavioral Sleep Problems – Poor sleep habits, overstimulation before bed, or lifestyle-related disturbances.
• Medication- or Substance-Related Sleep Issues – Stimulants, caffeine, alcohol, or certain medications affecting sleep quality.
• Trauma-Related Sleep Disturbance – Nightmares, hypervigilance, or frequent awakenings associated with PTSD.

At VICC Psychiatry, we create a tailored sleep plan designed to identify the root cause and improve long-term sleep health.
