Cassandre Charnel
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Bipolar Disorder is categorized by highs and lows in mood. Sometimes periods of severe depression, and mania may accompany bipolar disorder making it one of the most misunderstood mental health diagnoses in the field. In therapy, we work on tackling the underlying thought patterns that accompany bipolar (and the stigma one may have faced as a result). while providing simple yet effective coping strategies that improve daily functioning.

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.

Bipolar Disorder
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.
