Thank you for considering me to work with you. I understand therapy for a first timer and returning client can be frightening. Congratulations in taking the first step for yourself in reaching out. This is the ideal client. The ready and healthy client is available to allow themselves to be and feel vulnerable to share and tell their stories. This is where the real work begins.. The issues are fear, distrust, poor communication and relationships with them self and others. I help to provide the tools and skills to listen and hear. This allows them to make healthier changes and choices, for healing and growth.

It is my belief that individuals desire and require validation and recognition in the midst of challenges. Change can seem impossible when experiencing stress, depression, and being submerged in life’s many challenges. By engaging in therapy, change is tangible. This process can unlock your deeper truths concerning life, present opportunities to learn yourself, and really discover your life’s story. In my work, I focus on centering Black womxn, men, adolescents, and POC who may be burdened by challenges related to depression, anxiety, relationship stress, integenerational trauma, and racial and gender-based microaggressions.

Bipolar Disorder Therapists

What is the most successful approach to treating bipolar disorder?

Living with bipolar disorder can be challenging, and a number of therapies have been found effective in providing support to patients as they gain the skills to understand and manage the disorder. Family-focused therapy is often helpful for children and teens (the majority of cases develop before age 19); it aims to minimize mood cycling by improving family communication and reducing conflict. It also helps young people navigate the developmental challenges the disorder can create. Cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) and variants such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) help patients manage the thoughts and feelings that influence bipolar mood swings as well as develop specific behavioral strategies to counteract them.

What happens in therapy for bipolar disorder?

Because the patterns of mood switching and its triggers differ for each person and can change over time, mood tracking or monitoring becomes a basic way patients learn about the nature of their condition. One of the most common features of therapy is finding a workable method of mood monitoring, in which patients track their daily activities and rate their moods, then use the findings to adjust routines accordingly. Patients learn ways of handling the many stresses that arise in life so that they do not trigger mood swings.

What kinds of problems does therapy help with?

Like many other mental health disorders, BPD is heavily influenced by stress; therapy provides skills for coping with stressors of all kinds. Therapy is extremely important for helping individuals identify the situations that may trigger mood switching, so that mood swings can be prevented. Therapy may especially target recognition of the early stages of mood change so that they can be managed. In addition, therapy helps patients deal with the significant amount of turbulence the disorder can create in relationships and in work life.

What is the goal of therapy for bipolar disorder?

Therapy helps patients set up their lives to maintain stability so that their mood isn’t constantly threatened by daily events. Perhaps the first task of therapy is to educate people about the nature of the disorder. At the same time, a primary goal of therapy is to enhance adherence to drug treatment. Extended periods of mood stability can prompt patients to discontinue medication, triggering relapse, while the early phases of manic episodes can feel so energizing that patients stop medication, ushering in full-blown mania and the altered self-perception that can lead to destructive behaviors. Another major goal of therapy is to understand one’s mood patterns so as to minimize both the frequency and intensity of mood cycling.
