Are you exhausted, but your brain simply won't let you sleep? My ideal clients are adults struggling with chronic insomnia, sleep apnea, burnout, or anxiety. When sleep suffers, frustration spills into every part of your day—worsening your mood and focus. You may feel stuck in a vicious cycle of daytime exhaustion and nighttime racing thoughts. You don't have to navigate this alone. As a psychiatrist and therapist, I help uncover the biological and emotional roots of your sleeplessness so you can truly rest, offering psychotherapy and medical care. (Note: Please click the "Website" button to complete the pre-screening form).
I am Dr. Pichit Thanupakorn ("Dr. T"), a Duke-trained medical doctor, psychiatrist, and therapist. I offer CBT-I psychotherapy to retrain your brain for natural sleep, CPAP support, and expert medication management for anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Care is delivered via a highly secure, 100% telehealth platform across NC and FL.
Healing the mind starts with healing the night. You deserve a physician and therapist who truly listens. I offer a highly personalized approach, including optional Christian faith-integrated counseling.
