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.

Bipolar Disorder
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.

Bipolar Disorder
Dr. Mitchell Roth
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, JD, PsyD, LMHC
Conventional treatment for bipolar (all types) is drug therapy. Many such patients go off of their medication for various reasons. My approach is to identify and resolve the core emotional issues that have led to development of the disorder presenting the possibility of recovery without drugs. Internal family therapy treatment is particularly helpful in this area.

Bipolar Disorder
Nancy Burns
Counselor/Therapist, JD, LMHC, LPC, MA, EMDR Certified
Have you have experienced repeated bouts of depression, possibly since you were an adolescent you even earlier in your life? Perhaps you have worked with other therapists and counselors and might have tried different anti-depressant medications, which seem to work for awhile, but then all of a sudden they stop working and your depression has returned. Besides the sadness and hopelessness that accompanies the depressed mood, you might experience periods of irritability. Your family and friends might have told you that they feel as if they have to walk on eggshells when you are around. You might often have uncomfortable emotional reactions that out of character and you feel are uncontrollable. The expression of these strong emotions, and the behaviors that accompany them, have interfered with your professional and personal relationships. You also often might have had distressing thoughts which move too fast and which you can’t get to slow down. You sometimes might feel as if you want to jump out of your skin or that you have a tornado raging in your chest. All of this might have you feeling hopeless, as if you won’t ever have control of your life. As we work together, we will explore the patterns of your mood states and the accompanying emotions and behaviors that you have experienced. We will identify your repetitive negative thoughts and challenge their truthfulness while practicing new coping skills so that you can gain more control of your emotions. We might discuss the possibility of a referral to a medical provider for a trial of different medications, if it seems as if that might be helpful. We will strive towards helping you gain control over your mood and emotions, instead of your mood and emotions controlling you.
