Bipolar
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.

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.
