First-visit guide

Fee

Initial evaluations are billed at $350 per hour. Visits typically run 60–75 minutes, so most patients should plan for a charge in that range. Contact the office for current follow-up pricing.

Insurance and self-pay details

The Google Calendar link schedules a 15-minute introductory phone call with our administrative team or, sometimes, the doctor. It is not a psychiatric evaluation or a guarantee of acceptance as a patient. We discuss fit and next steps before a clinical appointment is arranged.

Quick answer

SLS Psychiatry evaluates and helps manage insomnia and sleep disturbances that affect mental health in adults. According to the CDC, more than 1 in 3 U.S. adults regularly sleep less than the recommended seven hours per night. Care includes sleep history, behavioral guidance, and short-term medication management when clinically indicated.

Restful sleep is foundational to mental health. Chronic insomnia or fragmented sleep can worsen depression, anxiety, attention problems, and overall well-being.

How we help

We evaluate sleep patterns, daytime functioning, contributing medical or psychiatric conditions, medications, and substances to identify what is driving the sleep disturbance.

What treatment may include

Cognitive-behavioral strategies for insomnia (CBT-I principles), sleep hygiene guidance, treatment of underlying psychiatric conditions, and short-term medication management when clinically indicated. Referral for a sleep study may be recommended when sleep apnea or another primary sleep disorder is suspected.

When to reach out

If you consistently struggle to fall asleep, stay asleep, or feel unrefreshed despite adequate time in bed, especially when this is affecting mood, focus, or daily function.
