Nancy Burns
Counselor/Therapist, JD, LMHC, LPC, MA, EMDR Certified
Have you have experienced repeated bouts of depression, possibly since you were an adolescent you even earlier in your life? Perhaps you have worked with other therapists and counselors and might have tried different anti-depressant medications, which seem to work for awhile, but then all of a sudden they stop working and your depression has returned. Besides the sadness and hopelessness that accompanies the depressed mood, you might experience periods of irritability. Your family and friends might have told you that they feel as if they have to walk on eggshells when you are around. You might often have uncomfortable emotional reactions that out of character and you feel are uncontrollable. The expression of these strong emotions, and the behaviors that accompany them, have interfered with your professional and personal relationships. You also often might have had distressing thoughts which move too fast and which you can’t get to slow down. You sometimes might feel as if you want to jump out of your skin or that you have a tornado raging in your chest. All of this might have you feeling hopeless, as if you won’t ever have control of your life. As we work together, we will explore the patterns of your mood states and the accompanying emotions and behaviors that you have experienced. We will identify your repetitive negative thoughts and challenge their truthfulness while practicing new coping skills so that you can gain more control of your emotions. We might discuss the possibility of a referral to a medical provider for a trial of different medications, if it seems as if that might be helpful. We will strive towards helping you gain control over your mood and emotions, instead of your mood and emotions controlling you.

Bipolar
Heart Bonds Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Bipolar disorder can feel confusing and disruptive — especially when mood shifts affect your energy, relationships, work, or sense of stability. Many high-functioning individuals with bipolar disorder are successful and capable, yet privately struggle with cycles of depression, hypomania, or emotional intensity. We provide thoughtful, structured therapy that focuses on mood awareness, early identification of shifts, coping strategies, and maintaining stability over time. We collaborate closely with prescribing providers when appropriate and work to help you build a life that feels steady, meaningful, and sustainable.

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.

Bipolar
Dr. Mitchell Roth
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, JD, PsyD, LMHC
Conventional treatment for bipolar (all types) is drug therapy. Many such patients go off of their medication for various reasons. My approach is to identify and resolve the core emotional issues that have led to development of the disorder presenting the possibility of recovery without drugs. Internal family therapy treatment is particularly helpful in this area.
