Bipolar disorder can be a complicated disorder. It is unfortunate that many people go many years before being properly diagnosed. This can result in the collection of many negative consequences including relationship issues, self-worth issues, and employment issues. Although all of us benefit with some structure surrounding sleep, nutrition, and exercise, individuals with bipolar disorder need to be especially attentive to self care. Coping skills and stress reduction can also be impactful. Psychotherapy is a very important part of the medical treatment of bipolar disorder.

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.

Bipolar Disorder
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in bipolar disorder, my approach to treatment is multifaceted and collaborative. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), I work with individuals to understand their mood fluctuations, identify triggers, and develop effective coping strategies. Additionally, I collaborate closely with psychiatrists to ensure comprehensive medication management when necessary. Psychoeducation is an integral component of treatment, providing individuals and their support networks with valuable insights into the nature of bipolar disorder and tools for managing symptoms. Together, we strive to promote stability, enhance quality of life, and empower individuals to navigate the challenges of bipolar disorder with resilience and self-awareness.
