Living with bipolar disorder involves navigating a world of contrasting highs and lows, where emotional and energy levels can vary dramatically. One week your life couldn’t be better, and the next it’s tough to get out of bed. This condition not only affects mood but can also impact relationships, work, and overall quality of life. Understanding and managing these fluctuations is crucial for maintaining balance and well-being.

Hello, my name is Dan Bjierke and I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California for 33 years. Initially, I was accepted into a clinical sports psychology program where I intended to specialize in working with team dynamics and elite performers. When the program folded, I was introduced to the field of marriage and family therapy and the importance of having a strong sense of self-esteem as a basis for creating healthy relationships. In 1993, when I was researching books to create a 12-week self-esteem class, I found a book by Martin Seligman titled “Learned Optimism.”

I have experience working with clients who have struggled with life transitions, depression, anxiety, relationship issues and grief using CBT and mindfulness strategies.
Feeling overwhelmed? Are you struggling with finding balance in your life? You might be feeling like whatever you do isn’t good enough. Maybe you’ve tried everything but still feel stuck. Maybe you’re scared to move outside of your comfort zone. We all have our go-to coping skills but sometimes we reach a point in life where those things just don’t work anymore. We are constantly changing, evolving and learning about ourselves. Facing your fears and taking a look at your reality can be anxiety provoking but it can also give you newfound hope that you never thought you had or were capable of finding.

DECIDING TO BEGIN PSYCHOTHERAPY IS A COURAGEOUS ACT. I enjoy working with clients who, via symptoms such as depression, anxiety, sexual-orientation or career issues, eating disorders, life transitions, or relationship issues are seeking a deeper understanding of their lives and which direction they wish to take. Often the symptom is the "call" from psyche, a portal into a deeper exploration into one's life which may yield increased self-awareness and introductions to formerly unknown aspects of one's own being. I feel privileged to be called upon to accompany individuals on this journey. At this time,
