About Crys ChenMA Clinical Social Worker Therapist
As a licensed clinical social worker, I have dedicated my practice to a specialization in bipolar disorder and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I recognize that life with bipolar disorder is not solely defined by intense highs and lows but encompasses a spectrum of experiences. My approach is grounded in the understanding that the impact of this condition can vary from person to person, and I tailor our sessions accordingly.
Additionally, my extensive training in DBT equips me to provide a structured and evidence-based framework for our group. DBT is a recognized therapeutic approach that offers practical coping skills and emotional regulation techniques. By blending my expertise in DBT with my deep knowledge of bipolar disorder, I can guide participants toward a more stable and fulfilling life.
Moreover, I am committed to creating a grounded space for the group where we make steady progress. I understand the importance of peer support and the value of sharing experiences and strategies. Together, we will navigate the challenges of bipolar disorder and develop valuable skills for emotional regulation, making strides towards a more balanced and resilient life.
