We offer a DBT group that teaches dialectical behavioral therapy which helps clients learn tools for greater interpersonal effectiveness and coping skills and also offer individual therapy. Having bipolar disorder is a difficult challenge and has both the depression side as well as the mania. Working together with a medical doctor to regulate medications and learning to coping skills empowers the client. It’s important to identify historical causes of depression and ways to cope with anxiety and regulate sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle choices to help support a healthy brain are integral in finding balance with bipolar.

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.
