Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
If I had to work with someone who has bipolar disorder, I assist them in understanding how their mood swings, both the lows of depression and the highs of mania, may interact with feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, overwhelm, and dissatisfaction in various areas of their life. In therapy, the goal is to help them handle these mood swings better, boost their overall well-being, and find some stability even when life gets tough.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LCPC
Bipolar disorder can be a complicated disorder. It is unfortunate that many people go many years before being properly diagnosed. This can result in the collection of many negative consequences including relationship issues, self-worth issues, and employment issues. Although all of us benefit with some structure surrounding sleep, nutrition, and exercise, individuals with bipolar disorder need to be especially attentive to self care. Coping skills and stress reduction can also be impactful. Psychotherapy is a very important part of the medical treatment of bipolar disorder. Understanding how this disorder affects you personally is especially helpful in arriving at a plan for treatment.
