Therapy for Mood Swings in NYC

You feel everything intensely: the highs, the lows, the irritability. People around you might call you “too sensitive.” In some cases, such as in instances of Bipolar Disorder, mood swings may be even more extreme, with highs and lows lasting for days or weeks at a time.

Big emotional swings often come from a sensitive nervous system (neurobiology) plus never being taught how to handle intense feelings (enviornment), so they run the show.

We track your patterns to understand your triggers, then build a toolkit for calming your body and responding instead of reacting. When needed, I’ll help you find a psychiatrist for a medication evaluation if Bipolar or a similar disorder is part of the picture.

Your emotions still matter, but they don’t take over. You recover faster and feel more in control.

DBT is a great fit if your emotions feel intense, fast, and hard to come down from, especially if they affect your relationships or lead to choices you regret.
