While it is common for people to experience mood swings from time to time, bipolar disorder is much more severe. When someone has bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression) their mood shifts from periods of over-excitement and feeling like you're "on fire" (manic episodes) to periods of feeling severely depressed (depressive episodes).

During manic episodes, it's common to have a generally elevated mood, be highly active, experience higher self-esteem and need less sleep. This often alternates with depressive periods where you feel little joy in life, have problems sleeping, gain or lose weight and experience a loss of energy.

While this can be stressful and even debilitating, there is hope. Our therapy for bipolar is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which has been shown in research studies to help people with bipolar disorder, often used in conjunction with medication. You see, it is your thoughts that affect your perception of the world, and with bipolar disorder, your brain tends to process information in an inaccurate and distorted way. With the help of your therapist, you will be able to identify and challenge these distorted and negative thought patterns that cause your stress and even harmful behavior. By identifying the situations that trigger your manic and depressive episodes, you will be more aware of when a mood shift is about to happen. And, eventually, you will be able to control your emotions and stress. By discovering new coping and behavioral skills, you will be able to stick to a treatment plan and live a more stable lifestyle, which will reduce the risks of a relapse.

"I have been in therapy via video conference with my therapist Loree for nearly 6 weeks and I can honestly say that the experience has been amazing and the tools she has given me , the advice and support has been great.
We really have connected and I think that has been the most helpful and supportive tool one should expect in therapy, hence why I am Excited and Happy , thank you for the many great sessions and the laughter along the way on my journey to being a better me."

"I've used a few online therapy services and this has been the best one so far with a comprehensive platform of therapy and exercises for me to use. I know that not every therapist/client match is a win from the start, but this one just nailed it for me where I was able to form an easy rapport with my therapist and also message more often, which for me, more helpful than 1:1 video appointments but to have that option is amazing too. Very happy with this and so worth the cost."

"So far I have been very happy with the service. I think it's great value for the money. My therapist has always responded with 24 hours and is always helpful with her responses. I also enjoy working with the worksheets at my own pace when I have the time."
