Therapy that helps you understand your mood patterns, prevent relapse and build a steady routine, alongside your medical care.
Bipolar disorder is a mood condition in which a person has episodes of mania or hypomania, with high energy, little need for sleep, racing thoughts and impulsive decisions, and often episodes of depression too. Between episodes, many people feel well.
Bipolar I involves at least one full manic episode. Bipolar II involves hypomania, a milder high, along with depression. Cyclothymia involves ongoing ups and downs that are milder but still disruptive.
If you notice these patterns in yourself or someone you love, a thorough evaluation is the first step. Bipolar disorder is usually treated with medication from a psychiatrist or doctor together with therapy. Therapy does not replace medical care; it works alongside it.
If you are in crisis or thinking about suicide, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
At GearingUP, therapy for bipolar disorder focuses on understanding your own pattern and staying well. You learn to track your moods and sleep, recognize early warning signs of an episode, and act on them early.
We use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge the thinking that comes with depressive and manic phases, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to manage intense emotions and impulsive urges. We help you build steady routines for sleep, activity and stress, work through the impact on relationships, and follow your treatment plan, including medication if it is prescribed, with support.
We coordinate with your psychiatrist or doctor so your care fits together. Families can join sessions to learn how to help. Sessions are in person at our seven Dallas-Fort Worth offices or online.
Our clinicians provide therapy and assessment. If medication is part of your care, we work alongside your psychiatrist or doctor.

Dr. Gearing is awesome and the staff is super friendly. I look forward to working with them moving forward.
Completed our intake appointment with Dr. Fearing today and we had an excellent experience. She took time to truly understand the struggles out son is working through, and outlined a plan to support him and us as parents. She was warm, compassionate and very knowledgeable.
This counseling service has by far been the most thorough, evidence-based practice I have used for our family. I appreciate their careful attention to detail and communication for the treatment process!
