Bipolar Disorder Therapists in Colorado

When working with clients with bipolar disorder, I begin with a thorough assessment to understand their unique experiences and symptoms. I use a comprehensive and personalized approach that combines traditional psychotherapy with advanced medication management. I also integrate psychiatric methods such as vitamins, supplements, mindfulness practices, and lifestyle changes, including self-care, nutrition, stress management, and exercise. My treatment approach is trauma-focused, person-focused, and often incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), emotionally focused therapy, humanistic therapy, and coaching. Throughout the treatment process, I prioritize strong communication and trust, ensuring that clients feel supported and empowered as we work together to manage their bipolar disorder and improve their overall quality of life.

I typically use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside watching patterns of behaviors, moods, or episodes. I pay attention to the intensity and the duration and frequency of an episode. We work together on reframing negative thoughts, utilize de-escalation techniques to help when feeling overwhelmed, and motivation techniques were needed.
