Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or returning to sleep after waking, despite having sufficient opportunities for rest. Persistent insomnia can contribute to daytime fatigue, irritability, concentration difficulties, and problems functioning at work, school, or home.
Treatment depends on the underlying causes and may involve cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), changes in sleep-related behaviors, treatment of contributing psychiatric conditions, or medication when clinically appropriate.

According to the American Psychiatric Association, sleep disorders can interfere with emotional well-being, concentration, and everyday functioning. Persistent sleep difficulties deserve appropriate evaluation, including when another medical or psychiatric condition is present.
Not every case of insomnia requires psychiatric treatment. Sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, circadian rhythm disorders, chronic pain, medications, and other medical conditions can contribute to disturbed sleep and may require additional evaluation or specialist referral.

DFWPMA Frisco offers psychiatric and counseling services through professionals who can evaluate or address mental health concerns associated with insomnia. Christopher Conrad, MD, provides psychiatric care, while Erin Dean, LMFT-Associate, offers counseling for emotional and relationship difficulties that may interfere with sleep.
Christopher Conrad, MD, is a board-certified psychiatrist with experience providing psychiatric care to adolescents, adults, and older adults.
He earned his medical degree from the Paul L. Foster School of Medicine and completed his psychiatry residency at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in El Paso.
Dr. Conrad’s clinical approach emphasizes evidence-based psychiatric treatment, individualized care, and the relationship between emotional well-being, lifestyle, and physical health.
Patients experiencing persistent sleep difficulties alongside anxiety, depression, mood disturbances, or other psychiatric symptoms may benefit from an evaluation to identify contributing conditions and discuss appropriate treatment options.
When clinically indicated, psychiatric care may include medication management, monitoring of treatment response, or referral for additional medical or sleep-related evaluation.
Dr. Conrad’s published qualifications establish his general psychiatric expertise, but do not independently confirm specialized sleep medicine services or insomnia-specific prescribing.
Erin Dean, LMFT-Associate, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate who earned her master’s degree in clinical psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University.
Erin provides individual, couples, and family counseling across the lifespan. Her areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, mood concerns, trauma-informed care, addiction, sexuality-related concerns, and conflict management.
Patients experiencing persistent stress, emotional difficulties, relationship conflicts, or anxiety that interferes with their ability to relax or sleep may benefit from counseling focused on these underlying concerns.
Her patient-led approach emphasizes individualized support, personal treatment goals, and each patient’s preferred pace of therapy.
Erin practices under the supervision of Paula Boros, PhD, LMFT-S, and Kristin Warren, LMFT-S, LPC-S, LCDC, and accepts patients at DFWPMA Frisco.
Her documented counseling qualifications should not be interpreted as confirmation that specialized cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is available through her practice.

Insomnia treatment can help patients address difficulty falling asleep, repeated nighttime awakenings, waking earlier than intended, and daytime difficulties associated with insufficient or disrupted sleep. Effective treatment also involves investigating psychiatric, behavioral, and medical factors that may contribute to these symptoms.
At DFWPMA Frisco, psychiatric and counseling services can help evaluate sleep-related concerns and address contributing mental health conditions when appropriate.
The American Psychiatric Association explains that sleep difficulties may occur independently or alongside medical and mental health conditions. Persistent symptoms should be evaluated rather than automatically attributed to stress or anxiety.
Insomnia is not the same as every other sleep disorder. Loud snoring, breathing pauses during sleep, severe daytime sleepiness, or unusual nighttime movements may indicate obstructive sleep apnea or other sleep disorders requiring specialized medical assessment.
Schedule an appointment to discuss ongoing sleep difficulties and determine whether psychiatric care, counseling, or another medical evaluation may be appropriate.
DFWPMA Frisco offers psychiatric evaluation, individualized treatment planning, medication management, and counseling services that may help address mental health conditions contributing to insomnia. Specialized insomnia interventions, including CBT-I and sleep medicine testing, may require a clinician with specific training or an outside referral.
Treatment recommendations should consider symptom duration, sleep patterns, possible underlying conditions, medication risks, and each patient’s individual goals.
The American College of Physicians recommends cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) as the initial treatment for adults with chronic insomnia. This recommendation reflects the effectiveness of structured behavioral treatment and the potential risks associated with long-term use of sleep medications.
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) also identifies CBT-I as an important treatment for chronic insomnia and explains that treatment should address underlying medical conditions, medications, and behavioral factors when relevant.
Not every patient with insomnia requires psychiatric medication, and not every sleep problem originates from a mental health condition. Some patients benefit from behavioral sleep treatment, while others require medical testing, psychiatric care, or coordinated treatment for multiple contributing conditions.
