Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
Bipolar disorder is a mental illness that affects moods by experiencing periods of mania followed by depression, and intermittent periods of normalness. Mania is when the person experiences unusually high moods, leading to activities like large purchases which can lead to depression. Depression is when the person feels persistent despair over a long period.

Bipolar Disorder Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Greg Rennie is trained in Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) for bipolar. He has realized over his 20 years experience as a therapist and life experience as he was diagnosed in 1997 and knows how important it is to specialize in this area. His role is to help clients relieve their emotional pain no different than a doctor who relieves physical pain. Every client is different and that is why he works as a caring, compassionate client-centred therapist.
Josh Goordat's approach to mental health is shaped not just by academic and regulatory frameworks, but by his own lived experience. In 2022, he navigated a significant personal challenge when he was diagnosed with Type I Bipolar Disorder and underwent a journey of recovery from an episode of manic psychosis. This period transformed his understanding of resilience, psychiatric crises, and the importance of compassionate, non-judgmental care. Today, Josh integrates his academic foundation and professional clinical training with a firsthand understanding of recovery.

Living with bipolar disorder can affect mood, energy, sleep, relationships, routines, and sense of stability. Therapy can provide support with emotional awareness, coping strategies, relapse prevention, communication, and building routines that support wellness. I work collaboratively and encourage coordinated care when medication, psychiatric support, or additional services are part of a client’s treatment plan.

Markham is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities in North America outside of East Asia, with a majority Chinese population and a significant South Asian minority, creating a therapy community with unusually strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Punjabi-speaking practitioners. The city is a major technology hub — home to Canadian headquarters for IBM, Apple, and dozens of other multinationals — generating consistent demand for therapists who work with high-performance workplace stress, burnout, and the particular identity pressures of first-generation professionals navigating career expectations between cultures. Markham Stouffville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while many residents also access care through the broader Toronto metro therapy ecosystem. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains an important context for therapists, who often find themselves helping clients normalize therapy alongside the clinical work.
