Bipolar
Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
My work focuses on helping clients recognize early signs of mood changes, develop practical strategies for managing symptoms, and reduce the strain bipolar disorder can place on relationships. I also support partners and family members in understanding the condition and learning how to respond in ways that promote safety, clarity, and connection rather than conflict.
I have experience providing crisis support during periods of heightened emotional distress, helping clients slow things down, regain perspective, and access appropriate supports when needed. Over time, our work aims to strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and create a more predictable and supportive foundation for both individual wellbeing and relational health.
