Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
In my work as a therapist, addressing bipolar disorder is a nuanced and collaborative process. By integrating therapeutic modalities such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I aim to help individuals navigate the complex terrain of mood fluctuations and find stability. Through a personalized approach, I work with clients to develop coping mechanisms, foster self-awareness, and create a supportive environment, empowering them to lead fulfilling lives despite the challenges of bipolar disorder.

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.
