Bipolar Disorder
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.

I work closely with clients with Bipolar as they tend to appreciate a longer support plan where I help lead them through their bipolar episodes. The tools I have in my practice compliment really nicely to help them feel better.

When this is a presentation for our patients, we look to better understand what may be contributing to this. If this is something that wants to be addressed, and if so, how and when. Pacing is the key here.

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.

Radical Acceptance of the illness is essential for medication management.
