Bipolar Disorder Therapy

Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic depression, is a serious mental health condition characterized by significant shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. These changes often alternate between periods of elevated moods, known as manic or hypomanic episodes, and periods of depressed moods. These shifts in mood can disrupt daily life, relationships, and routines. Working with a licensed therapist can empower you with the tools and strategies to help you regain balance and thrive.

What to expect in Bipolar Disorder Therapy

Bipolar disorder counseling can provide a supportive space to help you navigate your emotions. A licensed therapist will work with you to understand your unique symptoms, triggers, and behavioral patterns. Through the therapy process, you will learn coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, develop interpersonal skills, and build routines to support emotional stability. Therapists may use modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify negative thoughts and replace them with more positive ones. Another modality that can be used for bipolar disorder is interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT). IPSRT can help individuals with bipolar disorder develop routines to improve emotional regulation and mood management.
