  • Family-Focused Therapy (FFT)

    Family-focused therapy (FFT) is an evidence-based intervention for adults and teens with bipolar disorder and their supports, designed to be used to complement pharmacological treatment. The FFT states that a patient’s relationship with their family and other support persons is vital to successfully managing their illness. The therapy consists of education regarding bipolar illness, communication enhancement training, and problem-solving skills training.

  • Narrative Therapy

    We are the stories that we tell about ourselves and the stories others tell about us. By reframing and reauthoring these stories, you can find empowerment, resilience, and a new perspective on your bipolar disorder journey.

  • Accelerated Resolution Therapy

    This innovative approach helps your brain rapidly reprocess emotional distress, providing relief and supporting your journey to wellness. It is also excellent for addressing anxiety and phobias.

How We Work

We put education and planning at the centre of all of our interactions. When you understand your illness, you are better equipped to manage it. Together, we will formulate a treatment plan that includes:

Psychoeducation - Learning About Bipolar

Knowledge is power. Psychoeducation offers you a deep understanding of bipolar disorder, its triggers, and management strategies. This knowledge forms the foundation for informed decisions and a more confident, proactive approach to your well-being.

Identifying Triggers

We’ll collaborate to pinpoint and identify events that may trigger an episode. We will look at recognizing early symptoms (lack of sleep, racing thoughts, etc.) and develop an early intervention plan.

We will find ways to include your support network in the plan. Ultimately, we aim to reduce stress for the individual and their family. Doing this has been shown to “lessen the frequency and severity of mood episodes.

Problem Solving

Reducing conflict in your support system creates a more positive environment. Together, we work on the skills that allow you to address problems and challenges in a productive way as they arise, to ensure that problems are solved before they amplify. 

Communication Skills

Stress is a major trigger and by working together to identify, reduce and manage stressors, we can help create longer periods of wellness.

Making lifestyle Changes

We will show you how adjusting your lifestyle and environment can help you stay healthier longer. We will help you make a regular sleep schedule. We will discuss managing stress and tracking your mood. Together we will help make it easier for you to manage and take your medication. We will empower you to make choices to live your best life. 

Building Resilience

We will build upon the strengths of you and your family. Through our client-centered approach, we’ll work together to enhance your coping skills, enabling you to face challenges with confidence and grace.
