With nearly 50 years of collective experience, our team has witnessed firsthand the challenges of BD and helped countless patients cultivate stability and control.

Here are some symptoms of bipolar disorder:

  1. Dysregulated emotions (lots of "highs and lows" regardless of your life circumstances)

  3. Drug and substance abuse (usually in an effort to regulate these extreme emotions

Quick FAQ's

  • What Is "Sex Addiction" and Can It Be Treated?

    Sex addictions are commonly considered to be habitual or even compulsive sexual activities that allow people to exit from connected, authentic and healthy life activities.

  • Do all of your doctors offer Buddhist therapy?

    Dr. Parker Wilson is Buddhist minister and retired psychologist, and he can provide advisement based on an extensive understanding and practice of Buddhist psychology and meditative technology. Dr. Wilson is a university professor, doctor of clinical psychology, and a practicing Mahayana Buddhist. He has been highly trained in Buddhist and existential psychology and meditation by some of the greatest living Buddhist masters of our time.

  • Isn't MBCT (Mindfulness) associated with Buddhism?

    The fundamental techniques for developing mindfulness, while rooted in the teachings of Buddhism, are actually more scientific than religious in nature. Buddhist psychology asks one to deeply analyze one's own existential experience. In other words, unlike traditional religious belief systems, Buddhism is not a faith or dogma based system; nor do its practitioners seek special consideration from a higher power, nor do they seek to convert others to their way of thinking. It is, therefore, more akin to a deep philosophy and empirical understanding.

  • What kinds of therapy does AMI offer?

    Primarily AMI offers cognitive psychotherapy; in particular Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), which is considered the modern standard of care for many types of depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and anger management issues.

  • How much will my therapy cost?

    The Awakened Mind Institute has very competitive clinical fees; this is especially true given the quality of treatment our doctors offer. Generally speaking, individuals and / or families with a household income between $60,000 and $150,000 (or more) find AMI's clinical fees to be affordable.
