Bipolar Disorder
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.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
I take a compassionate and comprehensive approach to working with individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Integrating psychological expertise with Christian principles. We seek to address both the emotional and spiritual aspects of the individual's experience. Recognizing the challenges of bipolar disorder, I may incorporate biblical teachings on resilience, hope, and God's steadfast love to provide a foundation for coping. Therapeutic interventions may include cognitive-behavioral techniques to manage mood swings, mindfulness practices, and the development of a structured routine that aligns with the client's faith. I may also explore the individual's spiritual life, offering support in finding meaning and purpose amid the struggles. Collaboration with other mental health professionals and, if applicable, pastoral support may be encouraged to provide a holistic approach to managing bipolar disorder within the context of the client's Christian beliefs.

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.
