Struggling with mood swings or bipolar disorder? Our counseling offers tools, strategies, and empathetic care to help you find balance and stability.
Book a SessionThe goal of counseling for bipolar disorder isn’t to erase who you are. Instead, it’s about giving you a personalized roadmap to navigate the ups and downs. Bipolar disorder can feel like you're on an emotional rollercoaster that you can't get off of. Counseling helps you learn how to better manage those high-speed turns and sudden drops. We work together to help you regulate your mood, understand your triggers, and find a stable, sustainable pace so you can feel more in control of your journey.
Think of counseling as a vital piece of the puzzle, but not the whole picture. For many people, a comprehensive approach is most effective, much like building a balanced meal. Counseling is a crucial ingredient, helping you develop coping skills and understand your emotions. However, it’s often combined with medication, which can help regulate the brain’s chemistry, and lifestyle changes. We can work with you to find the right combination of tools that help you feel supported and empowered on your journey to wellness.
Sometimes, a mood swing can feel like a brief, passing storm. With bipolar disorder, it’s more like a dramatic shift in climate, from a powerful, sunny day to a long, dark winter. These aren't just normal mood swings; they can be episodes of intense highs (mania) and deep lows (depression) that significantly impact your life. The best way to know for sure is to speak with a professional. We can help you understand your experience, get a clear diagnosis, and develop a personalized plan to take control.
Living with bipolar disorder can feel like you’re trying to balance on a tightrope. It's an incredible challenge. The biggest struggles often involve managing the extreme shifts in mood, which can impact work, relationships, and daily life. You may find yourself with too much energy and feeling on top of the world during a manic episode, followed by a period of crushing depression that makes it difficult to even get out of bed. We can work together to help you navigate these challenges and find a sense of balance.

There isn’t one single cause of bipolar disorder—it’s usually a blend of genetics, brain chemistry, and life experiences like stress or trauma. Think of it as a complex puzzle with several interconnected pieces. When you’re ready to make sense of those pieces, Overcomers Counseling is here to help you put the picture together.
Supporting someone with bipolar disorder starts with compassion, patience, and a solid understanding of what they’re navigating. Offer steady emotional support, encourage them to stay connected to treatment, and avoid taking their symptoms personally. And remember, caring for yourself matters too. Overcomers Counseling can help guide both you and your loved one through these ups and downs.
Living with bipolar disorder can feel like riding a roller coaster you didn’t exactly sign up for—episodes of deep depression on one end and bursts of high energy or euphoria on the other. Everyone’s experience looks a little different, and at Overcomers Counseling, we recognize that your story deserves to be understood on its own terms.
Five common signs of bipolar disorder include dramatic shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. This often shows up as episodes of mania—high energy, excitement, or irritability—and episodes of depression marked by sadness or hopelessness. Other signs may include disrupted sleep, racing thoughts, and impulsive or risky decisions. If these sound familiar, Overcomers Counseling can help you sort through the noise and find clarity.
Absolutely. Bipolar disorder may be a lifelong companion, but with consistent treatment and support—like the kind offered at Overcomers Counseling—you can build a life that feels steady, healthy, and genuinely yours.
