Specialized therapy for bipolar disorder using evidence-based approaches to help you achieve mood stability and manage symptoms. Comprehensive treatment for bipolar I, bipolar II, and cyclothymic disorder with integrated care approach. Available in English and Spanish.
Understanding Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). These mood episodes can significantly impact your energy, activity levels, judgment, behavior, and ability to think clearly.
While bipolar disorder is a lifelong condition, effective treatment can help you manage mood swings and symptoms. Therapy, combined with medication and lifestyle changes, can help you achieve stability and lead a fulfilling life.
Important: Bipolar disorder requires comprehensive treatment that often includes both therapy and medication. I work collaboratively with psychiatrists and other healthcare providers to ensure you receive the most effective care.
