• Recognize early warning signs of mood changes

• Establish consistent routines and healthy habits

Therapy for Bipolar Depression & Mood Changes

Bipolar disorder can involve periods of depression as well as periods of elevated or unusually energized mood. During depressive periods, you may experience sadness, low motivation, fatigue, hopelessness, or withdrawal. During periods of mania or hypomania, you may experience increased energy, decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts, impulsivity, or changes in behavior.

Therapy can help you understand these experiences and develop skills for responding to changes in mood. Your therapist can also help you identify patterns and create strategies that support your overall treatment goals.

Our Approach to Bipolar Disorder Therapy

We recognize that effective treatment for bipolar disorder often involves more than one type of support. Our therapists provide individualized counseling focused on your specific needs, experiences, and goals.

Therapy may incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, emotional regulation strategies, trauma-informed therapy, and other therapeutic approaches. Your therapist can also work with you on communication, relationships, stress management, routines, and other areas that may be affected by bipolar disorder.

If you work with a psychiatrist, physician, or other healthcare provider, therapy can complement your existing treatment. Medication management and diagnosis are not provided by all therapists, so we encourage clients to discuss medication needs with an appropriate medical or psychiatric professional.

Bipolar Disorder Therapy for Adolescents & Adults

Bipolar disorder can affect different areas of life depending on your age and circumstances. Adolescents may experience challenges with school, relationships, family dynamics, mood changes, and developing independence.

Our therapists tailor treatment to each client's developmental stage, strengths, concerns, and goals.
