Sleep affects mental health. Mental health affects sleep. Finally, care that treats both.

I'm Kim Loring, a psychiatric nurse practitioner offering comprehensive mental health care - with a specialty in sleep.

Whether you're struggling with insomnia, anxiety, depression, or just feeling like yourself again is out of reach, I'll work with you to build a plan that's tailored to your needs. That might mean behavioral strategies, medication management, restorative practices, or all three.

Sleep and mental health are inseparable. Depression disrupts sleep. Poor sleep worsens anxiety. ADHD makes rest feel impossible. And chronic insomnia is rarely just about sleep.

At The Rest Practice, this connection isn't an afterthought, it's the foundation of how I work. Every service I offer is designed with both in mind.

Most patients find that their sleep, their mood, and their sense of themselves are all connected. We'll figure out where to begin together.
