Reaching the point of thinking of suicide can be a scary place to be. It is important to talk to someone about it, and to find someone who will help you explore your feelings and make a plan to keep yourself safe.

Counselor/Therapist, M.A., M.Ed.; LPC, CAADC, CEMDRT
In helping you to work through suicidal thoughts, I use a particular model of therapy known as Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS), which enables us to work closely together in addressing the causes and solutions to your suicidality.

Suicidal Thoughts
Dr. Bridget Kromrey
Psychologist, PsyD
I have worked with individuals across the lifespan who experience suicidal thoughts, self harm, and who have attempted suicide. I believe therapy is a unique space where we can explore these vulnerable thoughts and behaviors, while creating a space to promote safety, coping, and change. Suicidal thoughts can often leave individuals feeling more isolate and alone. My hope is through therapy, these experiences can feel less lonely.
