Counselor/Therapist, MA psych, Dip SW
Bipolar disorder is a mental health disorder characterized by extreme mood swings, known as manic or hypomanic episodes and depressive episodes. These episodes can greatly impact an individual's ability to function in daily life and can cause significant distress.
As a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals with bipolar disorder. I use evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) which have been proven to be effective in treating bipolar disorder.
CBT is a form of therapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their symptoms. DBT is a form of therapy that helps individuals develop coping skills such as emotional regulation, mindfulness and distress tolerance, which can help them manage their emotions in a healthy way.
In therapy sessions, we will work together to understand the underlying causes of your bipolar disorder and develop strategies to manage your symptoms. We will also work on building resilience and coping skills to help you navigate through the challenges that you may face.
Bipolar disorder can be challenging and overwhelming, but with the right support, it is possible to manage symptoms and improve your overall well-being. I am here to help you navigate this process, and I encourage you to reach out for help

Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Bipolar Disorder consists of several key ingredients, which exist in addition to compliance to a medication regimen supervised by a physician. First, clients learn how to identify unhealthy, negative beliefs and behaviors and replace them with healthy, positive ones. Clients also learn how to identify what triggers bipolar episodes, and effective strategies to manage stress and to cope with upsetting situations.
Second, Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) has clients stabilize daily rhythms, such as sleeping, waking and mealtimes. A consistent routine allows for better mood management. Clients with bipolar disorder benefit from establishing a daily routine for sleep, diet and exercise.
Thirdly, clients are provided with psychoeducation about bipolar disorder, which can help them and their loved ones understand the condition. Being fully informed about one's condition can help a client to get the best support, identify issues, make a plan to prevent relapse and stick with treatment.
Lastly, family support and healthy communication can help clients stick with their treatment plan and help them and their loved ones recognize and manage warning signs of mood swings.
