Bipolar
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.

Jacqueline Elster
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, LP
Managing mood swings by identifying and modifying thought patterns can help you with bipolar disorder. Psychoeducation provides essential information about the disorder, fostering better understanding and management. Interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT) is also beneficial, as it focuses on stabilizing daily routines and improving relationships, which can help prevent mood episodes.

Bipolar
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
The highs feel like finally becoming yourself. The lows feel like proof that the real you was the broken one all along. Somewhere between these two convictions is a person trying to hold a life together across states that seem to belong to different people entirely. Therapy here is not about flattening the range. It is about building a self sturdy enough to remain continuous through it — to know, in the middle of either pole, that you are still the one who was there yesterday and will be there tomorrow. Bipolar Disorder requires us to work with effective medication management, as we are dually wrestling with a medical and psychological phenomenon.

This involves a combination of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), tailored to help clients manage mood swings, develop coping strategies, and improve overall emotional regulation. I also focus on psychoeducation to enhance clients' understanding of their condition, fostering self-awareness and reducing stigma.

My goal is to empower clients by equipping them with practical tools in a supportive therapeutic environment, helping them achieve greater stability and quality of life.
