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.

Carter Doyle
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, EMT-P
Living with bipolar spectrum symptoms requires care that is steady, non-shaming, and clinically precise. I provide ongoing assessment, medication collaboration, and psychotherapy to help you recognize mood shifts early, stabilize routines, and protect relationships. We’ll look at triggers, sleep, trauma histories, and protective parts so you can build a plan that actually works in real life — not just on paper.

Lansing is Michigan's state capital and sits directly adjacent to East Lansing, home of Michigan State University—one of the country's large public research universities—creating a combined metro area with substantial student and government worker populations and a correspondingly strong demand for mental health services across different life stages. University of Michigan Health-Sparrow and McLaren Greater Lansing provide behavioral health services, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves the mix of government employees, healthcare workers, and university-adjacent professionals in the region. Common therapy concerns include government worker stress, student mental health (with MSU being a significant driver of demand in adjacent East Lansing), economic anxiety tied to Michigan's auto industry, and the adjustment challenges of a capital city navigating Michigan's complex political and fiscal environment. The university community's generally positive attitude toward mental health care supports a culture of help-seeking across the broader metro area.
