Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
I take a compassionate and comprehensive approach to working with individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Integrating psychological expertise with Christian principles. We seek to address both the emotional and spiritual aspects of the individual's experience. Recognizing the challenges of bipolar disorder, I may incorporate biblical teachings on resilience, hope, and God's steadfast love to provide a foundation for coping. Therapeutic interventions may include cognitive-behavioral techniques to manage mood swings, mindfulness practices, and the development of a structured routine that aligns with the client's faith. I may also explore the individual's spiritual life, offering support in finding meaning and purpose amid the struggles. Collaboration with other mental health professionals and, if applicable, pastoral support may be encouraged to provide a holistic approach to managing bipolar disorder within the context of the client's Christian beliefs.

Bipolar Disorder
Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Bipolar Disorder consists of several key ingredients, which exist in addition to compliance to a medication regimen supervised by a physician. First, clients learn how to identify unhealthy, negative beliefs and behaviors and replace them with healthy, positive ones. Clients also learn how to identify what triggers bipolar episodes, and effective strategies to manage stress and to cope with upsetting situations.
Second, Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) has clients stabilize daily rhythms, such as sleeping, waking and mealtimes. A consistent routine allows for better mood management. Clients with bipolar disorder benefit from establishing a daily routine for sleep, diet and exercise.
Thirdly, clients are provided with psychoeducation about bipolar disorder, which can help them and their loved ones understand the condition. Being fully informed about one's condition can help a client to get the best support, identify issues, make a plan to prevent relapse and stick with treatment.
Lastly, family support and healthy communication can help clients stick with their treatment plan and help them and their loved ones recognize and manage warning signs of mood swings.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I help individuals with bipolar disorder navigate their unique challenges by providing a comprehensive approach to treatment. This involves a combination of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), tailored to help clients manage mood swings, develop coping strategies, and improve overall emotional regulation. I also focus on psychoeducation to enhance clients' understanding of their condition, fostering self-awareness and reducing stigma. Additionally, I work collaboratively with psychiatrists and other healthcare professionals to ensure a holistic treatment plan that may include medication management and lifestyle adjustments. My goal is to empower clients by equipping them with practical tools in a supportive therapeutic environment, helping them achieve greater stability and quality of life.

When this is a presentation for our patients, we look to better understand what may be contributing to this. If this is something that wants to be addressed, and if so, how and when. Pacing is the key here.
