Bipolar Disorder
Jennifer Kehrle
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I have worked with clients who have bipolar disorder since the very beginning of my practice. I use a mix of cognitive and somatic approaches to help clients stay on track and regulate their moods through a variety of nervous system regulation skills, mood balancing activities, and mood tracking. I help clients overcome common struggles with bipolar disorder including mood dysregulation, medication compliance, and impulsiveness.

Bipolar Disorder
Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
Bipolar Disorder (formerly, manic depression) is a mental illness that causes extremely varied mood swings and erratic behavior. These mood swings can affect sleep and energy levels, thoughts, judgment, and actions. Mania, and the less severe Hypomania, causes an upswing of high energy, racing thoughts, talkativeness, euphoria, and risky behavior. Major depressive episodes tend to follow manic episodes – they cause hopeless and irritable moods, fatigue, indecisiveness, and problems with sleep and appetite.
There are several categories of Bipolar Disorder – Bipolar I, Bipolar II, Cyclothymic disorder, and other types of bipolar and related disorders. Bipolar 1 is diagnosed when the patient has manic episodes – these are severe and can have serious consequences based on action taken during the manic episodes. Individuals with Bipolar II do not experience manic episodes, but their depression periods are often much longer and can be very detrimental to everyday life. Cyclothymic disorder is diagnosed after two years of depressive symptoms and hypomania – though less severe than major depression.
Bipolar disorder is a physical condition that is generally treated with combinations of counseling and medication. It is important to obtain an accurate diagnosis from a clinical professional to ensure optimal treatment plans for successful lifelong management.

Carter Doyle
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, EMT-P
Living with bipolar spectrum symptoms requires care that is steady, non-shaming, and clinically precise. I provide ongoing assessment, medication collaboration, and psychotherapy to help you recognize mood shifts early, stabilize routines, and protect relationships. We’ll look at triggers, sleep, trauma histories, and protective parts so you can build a plan that actually works in real life — not just on paper.
