Depression is when the person feels persistent despair over a long period.

Jennifer Fukushima
Registered Psychotherapist, registered psychotherapist
Bipolar Disorder comes with a unique set of symptoms and stigma. I am here to support you in celebrating the unique qualities and experiences of bipolar disorder which might be creative, generative or spiritual in nature, while also holding the darker side. Individuals living with bipolar disorder may benefit from support in making sense of the messages they receive, cultivating compassion for parts of self and others and in regulating the nervous system which can shift rapidly between states of safety to states of fear, fight or flight.

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.
