Specialty Blurb: Bipolar Disorder
"Living with the shifting intensity of bipolar disorder can often feel like navigating an unpredictable tide. In our sessions, my primary focus is to provide a stable, non-judgmental anchor for you to explore these fluctuations safely. I utilize evidence-based tools—specifically DBT skills training and CBT—to help you identify early mood indicators, build effective regulation strategies, and foster greater day-to-day stability. We will work together to create a personalized plan that honors your experience while empowering you to manage the 'highs' and 'lows' with greater confidence, helping you regain a sense of balance and rhythm in your life."

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.

Bipolar
Kathleen Cramer, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., PSYPACT member
Bipolar Disorder is a mood disorder that includes two varying mood states: mania (or hypomania) and depression. CBT helps you learn how to manage those mood states, identify early triggers for mood changes, and develop skills to reduce the frequency/severity of mood episodes. This is accomplished by (1) helping people identify negative thought patterns that worsen depressive and/or manic symptoms; and (2) teaching them to challenge/replace those thoughts with more balanced/less distressing thoughts.
