Bipolar Disorder
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.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I take a compassionate and comprehensive approach to working with individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Integrating psychological expertise with Christian principles. We seek to address both the emotional and spiritual aspects of the individual's experience. Recognizing the challenges of bipolar disorder, I may incorporate biblical teachings on resilience, hope, and God's steadfast love to provide a foundation for coping. Therapeutic interventions may include cognitive-behavioral techniques to manage mood swings, mindfulness practices, and the development of a structured routine that aligns with the client's faith. I may also explore the individual's spiritual life, offering support in finding meaning and purpose amid the struggles. Collaboration with other mental health professionals and, if applicable, pastoral support may be encouraged to provide a holistic approach to managing bipolar disorder within the context of the client's Christian beliefs.

Living with bipolar disorder can feel like a rollercoaster—intense highs, overwhelming lows, and everything in between.

Bipolar Disorder
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.

Bipolar Disorder
Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Bipolar Disorder consists of several key ingredients, which exist in addition to compliance to a medication regimen supervised by a physician. First, clients learn how to identify unhealthy, negative beliefs and behaviors and replace them with healthy, positive ones. Clients also learn how to identify what triggers bipolar episodes, and effective strategies to manage stress and to cope with upsetting situations.
Second, Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) has clients stabilize daily rhythms, such as sleeping, waking and mealtimes. A consistent routine allows for better mood management. Clients with bipolar disorder benefit from establishing a daily routine for sleep, diet and exercise.
Thirdly, clients are provided with psychoeducation about bipolar disorder, which can help them and their loved ones understand the condition. Being fully informed about one's condition can help a client to get the best support, identify issues, make a plan to prevent relapse and stick with treatment.
Lastly, family support and healthy communication can help clients stick with their treatment plan and help them and their loved ones recognize and manage warning signs of mood swings.
