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 can’t say enough good things about Bernadette. She’s my very first therapist, and I’ve been working with her for about a year now. From the beginning, she made me feel comfortable, supported, and truly heard. Therapy with her has helped me grow so much, and I honestly feel great compared to where I started. She’s thoughtful, kind, and incredibly helpful, and I’m so grateful I found her. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering therapy."

"You can work at your own pace. If you have time and are working through issues quickly the worksheets are really nice. The messaging is nice when things come up between sessions so you have a better support network. I like the ability to do live sessions wherever and not be limited by location and availability."
