Suicidal Thoughts therapists in West Melbourne, Florida FL
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist addressing suicidal thinking, my foremost priority is creating a safe and empathetic space for individuals to express their emotions without judgment. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and interpersonal therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to explore the underlying causes of their suicidal thoughts and develop coping strategies to manage them. By fostering a sense of hope, resilience, and connection, I aim to help individuals develop a safety plan, enhance their support networks, and build skills to navigate crises effectively. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of ongoing monitoring and communication to ensure individuals feel heard, understood, and supported throughout their recovery journey. My goal is to empower individuals to find meaning, purpose, and hope in life, while providing compassionate support and guidance every step of the way.

Monica Buttafava
Counselor/Therapist, M.S., LMHC
Suicidal thoughts or suicidal ideations in young children and adolescents may manifest themselves indirectly through interest and/or preoccupation with suicide and death, or more directly when kids speak about "wanting to make it all go away" or thinking "the world would be a better place without me."
Other signs are social withdrawal, depression, aggressive and hostile behavior, declined interest in hobbies and activities previously enjoyed, feeling of worthlessness, self-hatred, expression of guilt or hopelessness about the future, neglecting personal appearance and grooming, reckless or risk-taking behavior, running away, changes in sleep, appetite, and energy level.
Seeking treatment for your child is essential. A trained mental health professional may pick up on subtle cues, address underneath thoughts and feelings, and assess individual risk factors and severity of the individual's condition.
