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.

Christopher Schamber
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
To be clear, bipolar disorder is not just having simple mood swings. This is a biochemical condition through which people experience severe highs and lows. Medication is key to keeping stable.
Still, psychotherapy can play an incredibly important role, too. People living with bipolar disorder often experience serious lows, during which it can be hard to carry on with their normal lives and routines. I have worked with many clients with this illness using all different kinds of evidence-based practices to improve their daily functioning and get through the tough times. We will also try to find ways to reduce stress in your life, as stress has been suggested to trigger cycling between mania and depression.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I approach the complexities of bipolar disorder with a compassionate and comprehensive method, blending a variety of holistic strategies and psychotherapeutic tools to meet the individual needs of each client. Incorporating Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I aim to provide support that addresses both the emotional highs and lows associated with bipolar disorder. This personalized approach helps clients manage symptoms, improve emotional regulation, and develop effective coping strategies. By focusing on the whole person and not just the diagnosis, we explore lifestyle adjustments and therapeutic techniques that foster stability, well-being, and a more balanced life.
