Bipolar Disorder
Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Living with bipolar disorder can feel confusing, destabilizing, and emotionally exhausting both for individuals and for the people who care about them. Mood instability often affects relationships, identity, work functioning, self-esteem, and overall quality of life. Many clients also struggle with anxiety, shame, impulsivity, depression, or difficulty understanding patterns in their emotional experience.
I provide therapy for individuals living with bipolar spectrum conditions with a focus on emotional regulation, insight, stability, coping skills, relational functioning, and long-term psychological wellbeing. My approach emphasizes collaboration, psychoeducation, and evidence-based treatment while also recognizing the importance of understanding each person’s unique personality, life history, and emotional experience beyond diagnostic labels alone.

Bipolar Disorder
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.
