Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in working with individuals navigating bipolar disorder, helping them better understand mood patterns, manage emotional highs and lows, and build greater stability over time. Together, we focus on recognizing early warning signs, strengthening routines, and developing practical strategies to support regulation, decision-making, and relationships. I take a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that integrates skill-building with awareness of how the nervous system and environment impact mood. My goal is to help you feel more steady, more in control, and better equipped to navigate the ups and downs with confidence.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Bipolar disorder is often talked about in extremes—but the reality is more nuanced, and getting it right matters. Many people come to us feeling confused about their diagnosis, especially after years of being misunderstood, dismissed, or labeled too quickly. This is particularly true for women of color, who are significantly more likely to be misdiagnosed or overdiagnosed with bipolar disorder when their experiences may be better explained by trauma, chronic stress, or other mental health concerns. At Nour Counseling, we take that seriously.
We approach bipolar disorder with care, depth, and a commitment to getting a clear, accurate understanding of what’s actually going on. Our assessment process looks closely at mood patterns, history, context, and contributing factors—so we’re not just assigning labels, but building a thoughtful clinical picture. In therapy, we work with you to track mood shifts, identify triggers, and create practical systems that support stability, including sleep, routines, and emotional regulation. We also make space for the cultural and systemic factors that shape how your symptoms are experienced and interpreted. This is collaborative work focused on clarity, accuracy, and helping you feel more grounded and supported in your day-to-day life.

Dr. Cathy E. Pickett
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCMHC, LCA, CCTP, NCC
My approach focuses on helping clients develop greater emotional awareness, recognize mood changes and potential triggers, and strengthen coping strategies for managing depressive and manic or hypomanic symptoms. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help clients improve emotional regulation, manage stress, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and establish healthy daily routines. I support clients in developing effective communication skills, strengthening relationships, improving self-esteem, and navigating life transitions while promoting medication adherence when prescribed and collaboration with psychiatric and medical providers as appropriate. My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment where clients can build stability, increase self-awareness, and work toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
