New Sleep Disorder Treatment Now Available at Madison

Waterstone Health

Struggling with poor sleep, chronic fatigue, insomnia, or sleep apnea? Waterstone is expanding care in Madison with a new specialized Sleep Disorders Treatment Program designed to help patients finally get the restorative sleep they need for better overall health. Led by Thomas Abbenante, MD, a board-certified sleep physician, and Amanda Ciampini, APRN, the program provides comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment for a wide range of sleep conditions. Patients can receive care for sleep apnea, chronic insomnia, narcolepsy, restless leg syndrome, circadian rhythm disorders, and other sleep disturbances that affect daily life, mood, and long-term health. Quality sleep is closely connected to mental wellness, energy levels, concentration, and physical health. Through personalized treatment plans, modern diagnostic approaches, and evidence-based therapies—including CPAP management, medical treatment, and behavioral sleep strategies—our goal is to help patients improve sleep quality and restore healthy sleep patterns. The sleep program is available at Waterstone’s Madison and Hamden locations, making specialized sleep care more accessible to individuals throughout shoreline Connecticut and the greater New Haven region. Waterstone has been part of the Madison community since 2015, originally founded to provide compassionate outpatient care for individuals facing addiction and mental health challenges. Over the past decade, our practice has grown into a trusted local resource offering mental health counseling, substance use treatment, and psychiatric medication management. The addition of sleep medicine reflects Waterstone’s commitment to whole-person care—recognizing that sleep, mental health, and recovery are deeply connected. If ongoing sleep problems are affecting your health, relationships, or ability to function at your best, help is available close to home. Better sleep starts here!

Any adult who has helped a learner—formally or informally—has access to two useful voices: a “Teacher Voice” that provides instruction, information, and sometimes step-by-step directions, and an “Executive Function Coach Voice” that invites thinking, problem-solving, and&nbsp;ownership.
Both are important. The key is knowing which voice the learner needs in the moment — when to step in with direction and when to step back and make room for&nbsp;thinking.
Join Forman School's Cognition and Learning Teacher and Executive Function Coach Robyn Greenspan, Cognition and Learning Head of Department Brittany Bloom-Price, and Director of Cognition and Learning Dr. Kristin Simmers as they share research-informed strategies that work for learners of all ages, with a&nbsp;focus&nbsp;on:
<ul><li>A clear, plain-language understanding of executive function&nbsp;coaching</li><li>How to recognize when to use Teacher Voice and EF Coach&nbsp;Voice</li><li>Specific language shifts that encourage thinking, problem-solving, and&nbsp;ownership</li><li>Practical strategies that can be used at home and at&nbsp;school</li></ul>
