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.

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.

Bipolar Disorder
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.
