Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Living with bipolar disorder can feel unpredictable and overwhelming. Periods of depression may leave you feeling hopeless, exhausted, or disconnected, while episodes of elevated mood or increased energy can affect your judgment, relationships, work, and daily routine. The emotional highs and lows can make it difficult to feel stable, leading many people to experience frustration, uncertainty, or shame.
At Holding Space Therapy, we provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can better understand your mood patterns, identify triggers, and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms. Therapy focuses on helping you build consistency, strengthen emotional regulation, improve relationships, and increase your ability to recognize early warning signs of mood changes.
Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, psychoeducation, and trauma-informed care, we work collaboratively to help you develop healthy routines, improve coping skills, reduce stress, and support long-term emotional wellness. When appropriate, therapy is coordinated with your prescribing provider, as medication is often an important part of effectively managing bipolar disorder.
Many individuals living with bipolar disorder have also experienced trauma, anxiety, or significant life stress. Treatment takes a whole-person approach, recognizing how these experiences can influence mood, relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being. With the right support, effective treatment, and practical tools, it is possible to build stability, strengthen resilience, and create a meaningful, fulfilling life.

When we live life based on our feelings, make decisions based on them, we spiral in chaos. Its exactly what anxious, addicted, depressed people do. They respond to life based on how they feel and they get worse. Bipolar disorder is an emotional roller coaster and it can feel crazy making at times. We want you to know that we can support you in bringing stability into the emotional chaos through the development of relational intelligence and integration of different interventions into your daily life. The truth is you can develop stability over your emotional life and we would like to come along side you to support you in that journey.
