My expertise in Bipolar Disorder is informed by a comprehensive understanding of the disorder’s complexities, including the distinct patterns of mood fluctuations, the challenges in distinguishing it from other mood disorders, and the individualized approaches required for successful management. With experience in assessing and diagnosing Bipolar Disorder, I offer patients a tailored approach that addresses their specific mood cycle patterns—whether Bipolar I or Bipolar II.

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.

There are many types of bipolar disorder and, for this reason, people suffering from types of the disorder that impact fuctioning in more discrete ways are often misdiagnosed. This can lead to ineffective treatment efforts, worsening of symptoms and patients feeling frustrated and hopeless in resolving emotional and behavioral issues that negatively impact their self esteem, functioning and/or relationships. I offer comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and care for all types of bipolar disorder.

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.

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

I understand that managing bipolar disorder effectively requires a blend of both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical strategies. While medication can be essential for stabilizing mood swings and managing symptoms, I also emphasize the importance of complementary non-pharmaceutical interventions. This might include psychotherapy, lifestyle adjustments, and coping strategies that address the unique aspects of each person’s experience.

Colleen Burke-Sivers, LPC (She/her)

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.
