Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Bellingham, WA

Hello and congratulations for taking the first and sometimes hardest step of looking for a therapist. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of IN, KY LA, MO, NV, TX, WA and WV. I have the great privilege of working with adolescents and adults seeking assistance in improving their overall mental health and associated challenges. I’ve been in the behavioral health arena for over 40 years and have held numerous direct care and clinical leadership roles in a variety of settings. My joy comes from helping people navigate life's challenges.

My journey in this field began with a fascination for individual development across the lifespan, particularly in relational and identity formation. I earned my B.S. in Developmental Psychology and Women & Gender Studies, which laid the foundation for my interest in this field. Following my undergraduate studies, I completed two terms of service with AmeriCorps, providing support to individuals and families at Community Resource Centers in California throughout the Sacramento and Bay Area. Through these experiences, I gained valuable insight into how strong communities are built by supporting the well-being of individuals and families. This work ultimately inspired me to pursue an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Sonoma State University.

I provide compassionate, confidential psychiatric care designed to help you feel supported and understood. Each treatment plan is personalized, using evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs and goals. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where we can work together to manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, mood changes, or sleep issues. Appointments are available virtually for your convenience.

My name is John Michael Jennings and as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I'm passionate about creating a supportive space for clients to process what they're feeling and what they've been through. I believe that therapy is about helping people figure out how to live a life that's most authentic to who they are. I specialize in working with clients who are navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, difficult family dynamics, complex trauma, and questions about gender identity and/or sexuality.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I approach therapy as a collaborative, relational process grounded in authenticity, trust, and respect. I believe meaningful change happens when individuals feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported, and I strive to create a space where clients can explore their experiences openly without fear of judgment. My work is informed not only by clinical training, but also by lived experience, which allows me to connect with clients in a way that is both empathetic and deeply human.

My therapeutic style is engaged, flexible, and tailored to each individual. I integrate evidence-based modalities including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Through EMDR, I help clients process and resolve trauma and distressing life experiences. In Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, I support clients in accessing new perspectives and reducing symptoms that may feel stuck or resistant to traditional approaches. With DBT, I focus on building concrete skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. I aim to balance insight-oriented work with practical tools that clients can apply in their daily lives.

I believe therapy does not have to feel overly clinical or rigid to be effective. I intentionally incorporate humor, warmth, and relatability into my work, recognizing that moments of lightness can be incredibly grounding and healing. Humor can create connection, reduce shame, and make difficult conversations feel more approachable, while still honoring the depth and seriousness of each person’s experience.

I am a licensed counselor with a Masters in Counseling. My practice is rooted in extensive experience working with diverse populations. I offer a unique blend of evidence-based and creative approaches.I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Somatic interventions such as Expressive Arts.
