My approach to therapy: My client-centered therapeutic approach is informed by Psychosynthesis and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies. Psychosynthesis aims to integrate subpersonalities from the higher (strengths), middle, and lower unconscious. We may conduct inner child work, reclaim shamed gifts, and challenge abusive internal others.

Understanding Therapy for Bipolar Disorder in California

Learn about therapy, what to expect, and how to find the right therapist for your needs.

What is Bipolar Disorder Therapy?

Bipolar disorder therapy helps you manage challenging mood-related experiences, recognize early warning signs, and maintain stability. Therapists work alongside medication management providers to help you understand your condition, develop coping strategies, and build a fulfilling life.

Types of Bipolar Disorder Treatment

Effective approaches include psychoeducation about bipolar disorder, CBT adapted for bipolar, interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT) which focuses on routine and relationships, and family-focused therapy. Therapy is typically used alongside medication.

When Should You See a Bipolar Disorder Therapist?

Consider seeing a therapist for bipolar disorder if you experience significant shifts in mood, energy, activity level, or sleep; go through periods of feeling unusually elevated, impulsive, agitated, or unusually productive; or have episodes of depression that affect your motivation, functioning, or sense of hope. Therapy can also be helpful if these mood changes are affecting your relationships, work, daily routines, or ability to care for yourself.

Some people wonder whether what they are experiencing is “bad enough” to justify therapy. There is no minimum threshold you have to meet in order to deserve support. You do not need to wait until symptoms become severe or lead to a major crisis before reaching out. If mood changes are causing distress, disrupting your life, or making it harder to function the way you want to, that is enough reason to seek support. Therapy can also provide space to process what a bipolar disorder diagnosis means for you, explore feelings about medication, and adjust to the reality of managing a condition that may require ongoing care.

Because bipolar disorder can also involve symptoms that may benefit from medical treatment, it can be especially important to seek an evaluation from a psychiatrist, doctor, or other qualified mental health professional as part of getting the right care.
