Irene Essien-Akpan
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP
Bipolar as a mood disorder, is often managed by stabilizing the mood. I use medication management to assist patients in stabilizing their mood. I use mindfulness to assist patients in identifying possible triggers and use cognitive behavioral therapy to control and manage their behavior.

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.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you feel on edge, anxious, irritable, or just can't relax, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats anxiety and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.
