Bipolar Disorder causes a shift in behavior, mood and energy and is often marked by a swinging from depression to mania. This illness can be debilitating and intrusive in your life - getting help to manage symptoms can make a huge difference to your mental health.
Symptoms include:
Feeling of intense high
Feeling distracted
Sleeplessness, or reduced sleep
Rapid speech Racing thoughts or being unable to complete thoughts
Spending money excessively
Risky behaviour
Impaired behaviour such as driving erratically
Feelings of self-importance and grandiose
Lack of insight
Loss of reality
Hearing voices or psychosis
I am looking to work with clients who:
- are in the depressive state and are working through this part of their illness
- are looking to make changes to their lifestyle in order to develop a plan to reduce the risk of depression or mania
- are free from manic symptom and working towards managing symptoms
- are interested in making adjustments in order to live a more fulfilling life
I am available to work with clients who are not actively immersed in a manic state.
As a Surrey / Langley therapist that specializes in bipolar disorder, you can contact me at 778-389-9234 or tgramm@gmail.com for more information.

Victoria Jade Karra
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC, CTP, CSTS, CCFP
I support those who are seeking to increase their capacity to manage their diagnosis rather than having the diagnosis manage them. While validating the individual experience I provide skills and tools that support increased wellness. Experience working for both the Bi-polar Foundation and the Canadian Mental Health Association has provided me with additional training and expertise in working with this particular mental health challenge. A personal connection with the diagnosis has only increased my empathy and understanding of the struggles that may experienced.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I approach the complexities of bipolar disorder with a compassionate and comprehensive method, blending a variety of holistic strategies and psychotherapeutic tools to meet the individual needs of each client. Incorporating Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I aim to provide support that addresses both the emotional highs and lows associated with bipolar disorder. This personalized approach helps clients manage symptoms, improve emotional regulation, and develop effective coping strategies. By focusing on the whole person and not just the diagnosis, we explore lifestyle adjustments and therapeutic techniques that foster stability, well-being, and a more balanced life.
