Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Living with bipolar disorder can bring periods of emotional intensity, depression, disrupted routines, and uncertainty that affect relationships, work, and self-confidence. I provide a compassionate, structured space where clients can better understand their mood patterns, recognize early warning signs, and strengthen emotional stability.
Therapy may focus on coping skills, stress management, sleep and daily routines, healthy communication, and reducing shame. When appropriate, I collaborate with psychiatrists and other healthcare providers to support coordinated care. My goal is to help clients build greater self-awareness, resilience, and confidence while creating a balanced and meaningful life.
