Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In my practice, I offer personalized support for bipolar disorder. I begin with a thorough assessment for accurate diagnosis and provide education to help patients understand the disorder. We explore medication options and employ therapy to address negative thought patterns and coping strategies. Techniques for self-awareness and emotional regulation are taught. I also guide establishing routines and stability in daily life. Ongoing support ensures continuous progress towards managing bipolar disorder effectively and improving quality of life.

Dr. Judith Bank
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, MA, BSW, Fellowship, BCD, LCSW,
I see the patient several times. Most often I will refer for medication. Some have great difficulty with admitting this disorder so I try to normalize the syndrome before a medication evaluation. I have seen a number of patients where different meds needed to be prescribed. Patience and a careful empathy are essential.

Dr. Amanda Roberts
Psychologist, PhD Clinical Psychology, Masters in Marriage Family Therapy
Work with bipolar disorder requires a solid knowledge of the biological basis of this spectrum condition and the nuances involved with a cycling mood disorder. Dr Roberts affirms the conviction that bipolarity can become an asset rather than a liability; indeed a prerequisite for excellence when channelled correctly. She will work closely with your psychiatric prescriber for a coordinated integrated care plan.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
A person may struggle with Bipolar Disorder due to a combination of genetic factors, brain chemistry, and life experiences. I would use techniques from therapies like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to help them manage mood swings and develop coping skills. I might use approaches like Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help them accept their diagnosis and make positive changes in their life.
