Suicidal Thoughts
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
It can be incredibly stressful when your child expresses suicidal thoughts. Learning how to respond effectively, understanding when it escalates into a crisis, and differentiating between self-harm and suicidality are all challenges that don't usually show up in any baby book for new parents. It is crucial for a family to be a place where kids can express suicidal thoughts, and parents require a lot of support to create and maintain that place. Family therapy can become a place where both the parents and the children can express what they need to stay safe and also to maintain a sense of family for the other members.

Suicidal Thoughts
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CPC, NCC
Psychotherapy can be a crucial intervention for individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts. Through techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop coping strategies, and build emotional resilience. I provide a safe space to explore underlying issues contributing to suicidal thoughts and to create a personalized safety plan. Additionally, mindfulness practices can help clients stay grounded and manage distressing emotions more effectively. This comprehensive approach aims to reduce the risk of suicide and improve overall mental health.

Suicidal Thoughts
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was one of the first therapies to treat highly suicidal individuals on an outpatient basis. Because DBT considers suicide as the solution, not the actual problem itself, DBT therapists are focused on identifying the actual problems in order to assist with different, tangible solutions. Not only that, but DBT therapists are able to speak frankly about death instead of tiptoeing around it, treating patients with respect rather than patronizing with whispery tones and “concerned” looks. Within DBT, no person is treated as “fragile” and though the situation may be serious, we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

Suicidal Thoughts
Psychologist, Psy.D., DBT-LBC™
Most people have thought about suicide, but chronic suicidal thinking is something that needs to be addressed. Many therapists actually avoid working with people who are suicidal out of fear of liability. But someone needs to do it and our practice is committed to doing so. Learning to build a life worth living is a premise in DBT that helps when you're trying to let go of "suicide as a solution."
