Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in bipolar disorder, my approach to treatment is multifaceted and collaborative. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), I work with individuals to understand their mood fluctuations, identify triggers, and develop effective coping strategies. Additionally, I collaborate closely with psychiatrists to ensure comprehensive medication management when necessary. Psychoeducation is an integral component of treatment, providing individuals and their support networks with valuable insights into the nature of bipolar disorder and tools for managing symptoms. Together, we strive to promote stability, enhance quality of life, and empower individuals to navigate the challenges of bipolar disorder with resilience and self-awareness.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Bipolar disorder involves navigating intense shifts in mood, energy, and relationships. I draw on IFS, family systems, DBT-informed skills, and mindfulness practices to help clients develop awareness of mood changes, regulate stress, and strengthen support systems. With extensive experience collaborating with prescribers, I support clients in balancing therapy with medication management. My diagnostic skills ensure careful differentiation from depression, ADHD, trauma, or personality disorders.
