Bipolar Disorder Treatment
At Elevated Healing Treatment Centers in Woodland Hills, we specialize in comprehensive care for individuals living with bipolar disorder. Our team is dedicated to providing evidence-based treatments that are tailored to each person’s unique needs. Among the most effective therapeutic approaches for managing bipolar disorder are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Below, we explain how these therapies can be instrumental in helping individuals achieve stability and improve their quality of life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Bipolar Disorder
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. In the context of bipolar disorder, CBT helps individuals recognize early warning signs of mood swings, develop coping strategies, and create a plan for managing symptoms before they escalate.
​
CBT sessions at our facility are tailored to address the specific challenges of bipolar disorder, such as managing depressive episodes, reducing the frequency and intensity of manic episodes, and addressing the anxiety and stress that often accompany the condition. Through CBT, patients learn to challenge irrational thoughts, replace them with more balanced and realistic perspectives, and develop practical problem-solving skills. This empowers them to take an active role in managing their condition and reducing the impact of bipolar disorder on their daily lives.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for Bipolar Disorder
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is another evidence-based treatment that can help individuals with bipolar disorder. Originally developed to treat borderline personality disorder, DBT has proven effective for managing the intense emotional fluctuations associated with bipolar disorder.
​
DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices, emphasizing the development of four key skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. In treating bipolar disorder, DBT helps individuals develop the ability to tolerate distressing emotions without resorting to impulsive behaviors, regulate intense mood swings, and improve relationships with others.
​
Our DBT program offers individual therapy sessions, skills training groups, and phone coaching, ensuring that patients have the support they need when they need it most. The focus on mindfulness in DBT also helps individuals with bipolar disorder become more aware of their emotional states, enabling them to respond to situations more thoughtfully rather than reactively.
