Bipolar Disorder therapists in Hampshire, Illinois IL
Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
A person may struggle with Bipolar Disorder due to a combination of genetic factors, brain chemistry, and life experiences. I would use techniques from therapies like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to help them manage mood swings and develop coping skills. I might use approaches like Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help them accept their diagnosis and make positive changes in their life.

I work with clients to identify patterns associated with mood fluctuations, elevated mood, irritability, sleep disturbance, depression, lack of motivation, isolation. Primary focus is often identifying patterns of symptoms and behaviors to identify what is adaptive and what needs to change to improve overall mental status.
