Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
Living with bipolar disorder can feel like a rollercoaster—intense highs, overwhelming lows, and everything in between. These mood shifts can impact relationships, work, and your overall sense of stability. I provide compassionate, nonjudgmental support to help you better understand your patterns, manage mood fluctuations, and build tools that foster balance and well-being. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been navigating bipolar disorder for years, therapy can offer a grounded space for insight, stability, and hope.

Dysregulation in our lives is disruptive and limits us from our true potentials. We can find balance through self-awareness and trusting in ourselves/others when we need help.

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.

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.

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.
