Bipolar
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.

Dr. Trey Cole
Psychologist, Psy.D., ABPP, DAAETS
I work with individuals experiencing bipolar disorder to better understand and manage mood swings, emotional triggers, and daily stressors. Together, we develop coping strategies, routines, and skills to promote stability and emotional balance. My approach emphasizes self-awareness, resilience, and support in navigating both the highs and lows of life.

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.

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.

Bipolar
James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
Extreme emotional states are a lifelong problem for many people. While I know that hereditable, biological factors are important, and medication is often helpful, I also try to understand the emotions as patterns of attempted mastery that the person has developed beginning in childhood, and work psychologically with those patterns, helping to craft modifications that make life more fulfilling.
