Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Bipolar disorder often brings intense shifts in mood that carry important messages about your needs, relationships, and sense of self. In our work, we provide a steady, supportive space to explore these experiences while helping you understand patterns and triggers. Approached with curiosity and care, these mood changes can become a pathway to greater self-awareness, balance, and connection.

Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
I work with individuals living with bipolar disorder to help stabilize mood and improve overall functioning. Treatment focuses on careful medication management, monitoring mood patterns, and identifying triggers that may contribute to mood episodes. I also provide supportive strategies to help patients maintain stability, improve daily routines, and strengthen coping skills for long-term wellness.

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.

Molly Toomey
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I've worked closely with individuals with bipolar disorder, including young adults and transition-age youth, and have personal experience with it as well. I support bipolar folks around de-shaming and de-stigmatizing—including identifying the correct diagnosis or accepting an existing diagnosis, exploring what it means for your identity, dealing with its impact on your relationships or work/school, managing symptoms, and learning to navigate the inevitable highs and lows of the disorder so that you can live fully and confidently with bipolar.
