Bipolar disorder involves recurring cycles of manic or hypomanic highs and depressive lows that can significantly disrupt relationships, careers, and daily functioning. Therapy is an essential component of bipolar treatment, not as a replacement for mood-stabilizing medication, but as a powerful complement that helps you recognize early warning signs, manage triggers, improve medication adherence, and rebuild the areas of your life affected by mood episodes.
You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. If you recognize these patterns, it may be time to connect with a specialist.
Our Approach
We use Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT), the most evidence-based psychotherapy for bipolar disorder, which focuses on stabilizing daily routines (sleep, meals, activity) to reduce mood cycling. We also draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Bipolar Disorder (CBT-BD) to identify prodromal warning signs, challenge maladaptive beliefs, and develop relapse prevention plans. Sessions are tailored to your phase of illness.
