Bipolar disorder is more than the occasional ups and downs everyone experiences—it is a mood disorder marked by intense shifts in energy, mood, and activity levels. These changes can range from periods of elevated mood, increased energy, and impulsivity (mania or hypomania) to episodes of deep sadness, low energy, and hopelessness (depression). The dramatic nature of these shifts can disrupt work, relationships, and daily functioning, leaving you feeling out of control or uncertain about what’s ahead. Bipolar disorder is not a character flaw—it is a medical condition influenced by brain chemistry, genetics, and environmental factors, and with the right treatment, symptoms can be managed, and stability is possible.

Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to better understand your mood patterns, develop healthy coping skills, and create strategies to maintain stability. Through evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT), and mindfulness techniques, we help you recognize early warning signs of mood changes, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen resilience. With the right tools and ongoing support, you can lead a balanced, fulfilling life.
