Bipolar Disorder
Amanda Brucki
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When I work with someone dealing with bipolar disorder, I focus on getting to know their personal experiences and what they're going through. I use tried-and-true methods that fit their needs, always making sure we're on the same page. My goal is to create a comfortable space where we can chat openly, and together, find ways to manage the ups and downs. At the end of the day, I want to help them tap into their strengths and live a balanced, happy life.

There are many degrees of Bipolar. Many times medication and therapy together are most effective. However, each patient is different. What works for one person may not work well for another.

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.
