We provide trauma-informed, strengths-based therapy that helps you navigate the emotional highs and lows of bipolar disorder with greater clarity, confidence, and control. We work collaboratively with your care team, when needed, to offer stability and long-term support that meets you where you are.
Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder marked by significant shifts in energy, mood, and behavior. These shifts range from depressive episodes—feeling hopeless, tired, and unmotivated—to manic or hypomanic episodes—feeling euphoric, irritable, or unusually energized.
Many people experience symptoms like disrupted sleep, impulsivity, difficulty concentrating, or intense emotional swings that make it hard to maintain relationships, jobs, or daily routines. Some live undiagnosed for years, attributing symptoms to stress, personality, or “just being emotional.”
With the right therapy, support, and sometimes medication, it is possible to stabilize your life, reconnect with yourself, and build relationships that thrive.
We know how vulnerable it can feel to seek support for something as complex as bipolar disorder. That’s why we center trust, safety, and shared goals from day one.
Here’s how we begin:
At Vivus, we believe every individual with bipolar disorder deserves compassionate, long-term support that goes deeper than just managing symptoms. Our approach:

Private Pay: $150/session
Sliding Scale: Available based on financial need.
Court-Mandated Support: Includes documentation, progress reports, and attendance verification with appropriate consent.
Therapy plays a key role in managing bipolar disorder by offering emotional regulation tools, structure, and support. Many clients also benefit from medication—when that’s part of your care, we coordinate with your prescriber.
It varies. Many clients benefit from long-term, ongoing therapy. We adjust care to your progress, preferences, and goals.
We’ll get to know you, explore your current experiences and history, and begin setting goals together in a calm, supportive space.
