Bipolar

Sam Wilson

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, LCSW-C

Bipolar disorder is often a lifelong challenge, but it can be managed successfully, and it does not have to be a barrier to happiness or success. Outside of medication management there is a great deal that the individual can do to institute a healthy routine, monitor symptoms, and compensate for temporary impairments. I can help.

PhD, LPC

Do you struggle with mood swings? Have you experienced a manic episode? I believe that people can recover from bipolar disorder, and recovery can mean a lot of different things. For my doctoral dissertation, I studied how people recover from bipolar disorder using mindfulness and Buddhist frameworks. I also have personal experience recovering from a bipolar diagnosis. The good news is: recovery is possible! I'd be happy to share what I learned with you, and offer guidance on your journey.

Bipolar disorder can show up in a myriad of ways. Bipolar can manifest in: depressed agitation, a feeling of being on edge, difficulty with focusing and challenges with executive functioning, or you might think you have a personality disorder. I work with Bipolar 2 disorder and other low and mid spectrum bipolarity.

Colleen Burke-Sivers, LPC (She/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Bipolar disorder is such a difficult, confusing, and isolating illness. Those who suffer from it feel miserably depressed, alternating with boundless energy and ideas, irritability and impulsiveness. At times, you may feel ecstatic and other times, you have no idea why you ever felt that way. I help people make sense of their moods, swings, frantic thoughts, and unravel the mess of symptoms.

Ryan Grassmann, M.A., LPC

I have a particular interest Bipolar disorders due much in part to it's presence in so many people I have known in my personal life, from childhood to the present. This intrinsic motivation has drawn me to study and train in the most up to date treatments available. Due to my graduate level training's foundation in multidisciplinary studies, I am particularly skilled in working in conjunction with mental health prescribers. Achieving a state of remission is possible with courage and commitment.

Deep lows and intense highs can wreck havoc on your life. But they can also be gifts of exquisite sensitivity, a response to trauma, or/and a spiritual awakening. I am learning from friends, clients and colleagues what can be helpful. I would be honored to share what I am learning and learn from you on this journey.

I have extensive work in treating individuals who have recently been diagnosed with this disorder in understanding what the symptoms are, and how to best manage them in tandem with medications and therapy.

Felicia Turner

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

No one likes to be diagnosed with a severe-debilitating mental illness, but with appropriate treatment there can be limited to no symptoms at all. I do not necessarily treat disorders, I treat the symptoms with medications that are prescribed based on an individual's needs.

I enjoy helping clients learn how to manage bipolar symptoms and live as peaceful as life as they choose. I believe the societal stigma around bipolar is incredibly damaging and I work to help people thrive despite potential negative perspectives out there. I enjoy supporting people find rhythm and balance in their lives through attention to sleep, regular nutrition, awareness of drugs and alcohol on stability, adherence to medication if prescribed, and stress management.
