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.

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."

James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
Extreme emotional states are a lifelong problem for many people. While I know that hereditable, biological factors are important, and medication is often helpful, I also try to understand the emotions as patterns of attempted mastery that the person has developed beginning in childhood, and work psychologically with those patterns, helping to craft modifications that make life more fulfilling.
