Navigate bipolar disorder with expert care
At Thriveworks we recognize the lifelong nature of bipolar disorder and tailor therapeutic approaches to the severity of symptoms. Our therapists often utilize techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to address negative patterns and behaviors by exploring the connections between emotions, thoughts, and actions.
Acknowledging the comprehensive nature of treatment, we emphasize an approach that integrates psychotherapy, medication, and lifestyle adjustments to provide personalized care. Medications, including mood stabilizers and antidepressants can help to regulate mood and minimize your highs and lows, promoting functional balance.

Worked with Francis and she was friendly and empathetic. She helped me get on a solid plan to meet my medication needs. She also sent a referral for an LPC in network.

My session with Ms. Garland focused on identifying my life events and how they impacted how I previously dealt with diagnosed type 1 bipolar disorder. She listened and engaged with me as I vocalized my immediate fear and overwhelming stressors. Ms. Garland sat with me to customize coping skills for my triggers, including mania during parenting young children and going through a divorce.
I have more confidence in how I’ll handle these problems with continuing with the aid of my prescriptions medicines. Thank you!
Highly recommend for a compassionate and personal experience.

Bipolar disorder therapy FAQs
How is bipolar disorder diagnosed?

What types of therapy are effective for bipolar disorder?
Bipolar disorder is treated with a variety of therapies, including but not limited to, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and solution-focused therapy (SFT). Additionally, sometimes family therapy can help the relatives of those with this condition better understand and provide support for their loved ones.

Your time spent in bipolar disorder therapy and the amount of sessions you attend may vary from other clients. Some clients benefit from short-term therapy focused on symptom management, while others may engage in longer-term therapy to address ongoing challenges and maintain stability with the additional help of medication options from a psychiatric nurse practitioner at Thriveworks, working together with their therapist.
