While it is common for people to experience mood swings from time to time, bipolar disorder is much more severe. When someone has bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression) their mood shifts from periods of over-excitement and feeling like you're "on fire" (manic episodes) to periods of feeling severely depressed (depressive episodes).

During manic episodes, it's common to have a generally elevated mood, be highly active, experience higher self-esteem and need less sleep. This often alternates with depressive periods where you feel little joy in life, have problems sleeping, gain or lose weight and experience a loss of energy.

While this can be stressful and even debilitating, there is hope. Our therapy for bipolar is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which has been shown in research studies to help people with bipolar disorder, often used in conjunction with medication. You see, it is your thoughts that affect your perception of the world, and with bipolar disorder, your brain tends to process information in an inaccurate and distorted way. With the help of your therapist, you will be able to identify and challenge these distorted and negative thought patterns that cause your stress and even harmful behavior. By identifying the situations that trigger your manic and depressive episodes, you will be more aware of when a mood shift is about to happen. And, eventually, you will be able to control your emotions and stress. By discovering new coping and behavioral skills, you will be able to stick to a treatment plan and live a more stable lifestyle, which will reduce the risks of a relapse.

"I did my sessions with Tara and she was really helpful. She was able to find the root cause and help me how to deal with it."

"While I wish that I could have a live, in-person therapist, my lifestyle (I move around a lot) and lack of comprehensive healthcare coverage makes this impossible. This is the next best option. While it isn't perfect, it's been a good supplement to have an emotional outlet and sounding board as I've been struggling with my mental health over the past year."

"Lisa was a wonderful therapist! She helped me feel confident in expressing myself and that I had a safe space during our sessions. My therapy primarily centered around my couples relationship issues which she provided wonderful guidance and self-exploration and balancing between where I could feel justified in areas and opening up my eyes to how I can improve myself."

"The difference between who is was before I started online-therapy and who I am today is night and day. I have my life back and it’s all thanks to Dr. Evans and this site. There’s no therapy experience, including in person, that’s given me what this platform has."

"I wasn't sure what to expect when I started therapy on this platform but I have been so pleasantly surprised with the quality of the therapist as well as the additional materials available. The pricing is amazing too, about half of what it would cost me locally."
