Aiken County is federally designated as a mental health professional shortage area, meaning there are too few mental health professionals for the people who live there. Telehealth lets Aiken residents see a provider without waiting for a local opening.

How Insomnia and Sleep Care Works

Chronic insomnia means trouble falling or staying asleep at least three nights a week for three months or more, with effects on how you feel and function during the day.

Your provider looks for the causes, such as anxiety, depression, pain, caffeine and alcohol, irregular work hours and sleep apnea. When sleep apnea is likely, we coordinate with your primary care provider to arrange a sleep study.

Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, called CBT-I, is the recommended first treatment for long-term insomnia, and we use its techniques by video. Insomnia often continues even after anxiety or depression improve, so we treat the sleep problem directly.

We accept Medicare, most major commercial plans, and all South Carolina Medicaid managed care plans except Select Health (First Choice). New patients are often able to be scheduled within a week of requesting an appointment.
