The Mental Wellness Center, Inc
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW & LCPC's
At The Mental Wellness Center, we use a blend of evidence-based therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to support individuals living with bipolar disorder. Our approach focuses on helping clients understand and manage mood fluctuations, develop healthy coping strategies, and improve emotional regulation. Through ACT, we work on accepting thoughts and feelings while committing to actions aligned with personal values. CBT helps identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, while DBT provides skills for mindfulness and distress tolerance. This comprehensive approach helps clients gain control over their symptoms and lead more balanced, fulfilling lives.

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.

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.

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.

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.
