Bipolar Disorder Therapists in Regina, SK
I specialize in offering targeted therapy for adults dealing with Borderline Personality Disorder and Bipolar Disorder and other difficulties related to emotional regulation.
Beginning (clinical) therapy can be frightening, and finding a therapist is often overwhelming. While you may be ready to begin the therapeutic journey, interviewing therapists to find the right fit can feel intolerable. I offer a free 30-minute online consultation to make this process easier. I believe that within the first few minutes, you will know if we are a good fit and whether or not we will work well together. Most people feel relieved after the first session because they experience a release of a buildup of emotion they’ve been holding on to for days, weeks or months.

Seeking therapy is an individual choice and there are many reasons why people come to therapy. Sometimes it is to deal with long-standing emotional issues, or problems with anxiety or depression. Other times it is in response to unexpected changes in one's life that are difficult and the support of a therapist is sought in the pursuit of personal exploration and growth. We all go through challenging situations in life, and sometime having extra support is needed. Therapy provides long-lasting benefits when the root causes are identified and effectively dealt with in order to live life that is enriching, fulfilling, and rewarding.

Living with mental health issues such as addictions, anxiety, depression, anger, PTSD, relationship challenges, or ADHD can be incredibly taxing on the mind, body, and soul. You may have exhausted yourself trying multiple techniques, strategies, and tools with little relief. Imagine how your life would feel if you had a sense of peace, flow, ease, and happiness. There is a reason that all of the trying and striving hasn’t worked. The root of many mental health challenges is unresolved pain and trauma from past or present adverse experiences.

Bipolar Disorder Counsellors
What is the most successful approach to treating bipolar disorder?
Living with bipolar disorder can be challenging, and a number of therapies have been found effective in providing support to patients as they gain the skills to understand and manage the disorder. Family-focused therapy is often helpful for children and teens (the majority of cases develop before age 19); it aims to minimize mood cycling by improving family communication and reducing conflict. It also helps young people navigate the developmental challenges the disorder can create. Cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) and variants such as Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)help patients manage the thoughts and feelings that influence bipolar mood swings as well as develop specific behavioral strategies to counteract them.
What happens in therapy for bipolar disorder?
Because the patterns of mood switching and its triggers differ for each person and can change over time, mood tracking or monitoring becomes a basic way patients learn about the nature of their condition. One of the most common features of therapy is finding a workable method of mood monitoring, in which patients track their daily activities and rate their moods, then use the findings to adjust routines accordingly. Patients learn ways of handling the many stresses that arise in life so that they do not trigger mood swings.
What kinds of problems does therapy help with?
Like many other mental health disorders, BPD is heavily influenced by stress; therapy provides skills for coping with stressors of all kinds. Therapy is extremely important for helping individuals identify the situations that may trigger mood switching, so that mood swings can be prevented. Therapy may especially target recognition of the early stages of mood change so that they can be managed. In addition, therapy helps patients deal with the significant amount of turbulence the disorder can create in relationships and in work life.
What is the goal of therapy for bipolar disorder?
Therapy helps patients set up their lives to maintain stability so that their mood isn’t constantly threatened by daily events. Perhaps the first task of therapy is to educate people about the nature of the disorder. At the same time, a primary goal of therapy is to enhance adherence to drug treatment. Extended periods of mood stability can prompt patients to discontinue medication, triggering relapse, while the early phases of manic episodes can feel so energizing that patients stop medication, ushering in full-blown mania and the altered self-perception that can lead to destructive behaviors. Another major goal of therapy is to understand one’s mood patterns so as to minimize both the frequency and intensity of mood cycling.
