Suicidal Thoughts
Claudia Owens Shields
Psychologist, M.A., Ph.D.
Not only do I have training and experience in suicide-risk reduction, but I entered the field of psychology after successfully overcoming my own severe depression and related suicidality. I know from personal experience how seemingly impossible life can feel. I also know from personal experience that it is possible to not only overcome but to become stronger and better than one ever imagined.

Alethea Gard'ner, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
I see suicidal thoughts as an escape plan when life has become too unbearable. Working together to find new more sustaining and positive "escapes" to lower the unhappiness will be the goal.
