Eric Pierson
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
Having written my dissertation on bipolar disorder, I discovered that not much research has been done on improving the lives of people suffering from the diagnosis. As bipolar disorder creates many challenges for those who carry the diagnosis, my goal has been to help people manage their symptoms and take steps to improve the quality of their lives.

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.

James Norwood
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
My work with bipolar disorder is informed by my work with Michael Guy Thompson, PhD who worked with R.D. Laing, a pioneer in the humane treatment of people experiencing extreme states. Bipolar disorder is primarily addressed as a chemical issue by most therapists and especially psychiatrists, however this view often overlooks the psychological significance of experiences encountered by those with bipolar. My work with "bipolar" emphasizes how manic or depressive experiences are situated in a meaningful psychological context. Understanding the underlying issues at play can often help patients not only deal with these states better, but also feel that they are more meaningful than mere chemical abnormalities.
