A person may struggle with Bipolar Disorder due to a combination of genetic factors, brain chemistry, and life experiences. I would use techniques from therapies like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to help them manage mood swings and develop coping skills. I might use approaches like Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help them accept their diagnosis and make positive changes in their life.

Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
If I had to work with someone who has bipolar disorder, I assist them in understanding how their mood swings, both the lows of depression and the highs of mania, may interact with feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, overwhelm, and dissatisfaction in various areas of their life. In therapy, the goal is to help them handle these mood swings better, boost their overall well-being, and find some stability even when life gets tough.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in bipolar disorder, my approach to treatment is multifaceted and collaborative. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT), I work with individuals to understand their mood fluctuations, identify triggers, and develop effective coping strategies. Additionally, I collaborate closely with psychiatrists to ensure comprehensive medication management when necessary. Psychoeducation is an integral component of treatment, providing individuals and their support networks with valuable insights into the nature of bipolar disorder and tools for managing symptoms. Together, we strive to promote stability, enhance quality of life, and empower individuals to navigate the challenges of bipolar disorder with resilience and self-awareness.
