Amanda S. Vaught
Psychologist, PsyD
I provide compassionate, nonjudgmental support for individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts. These thoughts are more common than many realize and often signal deep emotional pain rather than a true wish to die. Together, we work to understand the underlying causes, build coping strategies, and create a sense of safety and hope. Through evidence-based therapy, I help clients reduce distress, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with meaning, support, and reasons to live.

Dr Calvin Young
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LCPC
Thoughts of harming one's self co-occur with a history of trauma, with depression and with addictions issues and some personality disorders. A careful history taking and a well crafted plan of care, well documented and followed through are critical to reducing or eliminating suicidal thinking and behaviors

Gregor Nathanael Schwarz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I provide specialized, compassionate support for individuals struggling with suicidal ideation, self-harm, and intense emotional crisis. My approach is rooted in safety-first, evidence-based frameworks, utilizing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—in which I have extensive specialized training—and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you navigate periods of profound hopelessness. Drawing upon my comprehensive clinical background—including specialized outpatient DBT and post-doctoral training in externalizing problems—I bring a depth of experience in managing high-risk behaviors and complex emotional dysregulation. I work collaboratively with you to develop personalized safety plans, identify warning signs, and build the distress tolerance skills needed to manage overwhelming emotions. If you are struggling, please know you do not have to carry this burden alone; my goal is to provide a non-judgmental, stable environment where we can prioritize your immediate safety while working toward long-term stabilization, emotional healing, and a renewed sense of purpose.

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.

Suicidal
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Suicidal thoughts and self-injury impulses often come from parts of us trying to protect against unbearable pain, emotional overwhelm, or feelings of worthlessness. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients gently explore and understand these reactive parts with compassion, reducing shame and building a sense of inner safety. Somatic regulation, mindfulness, and DBT-informed skills are integrated to strengthen self-regulation, improve coping, and decrease overwhelm. Together, we work on uncovering the deeper layers of distress and developing new ways to soothe and support yourself so that these protective impulses become less urgent and less consuming. My diagnostic expertise and collaboration with prescribers ensure comprehensive care when additional support is needed.

PSYCHe, PLLC
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.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
If you are having thoughts of ending your life, you do not need someone to panic. You need someone who can hear it. Suicidal thinking is often the mind's way of saying that something in the current life has become unbearable — and that the person cannot yet see another way through. Therapy is a place to say the thing out loud, without performance, without crisis, without anyone rushing to fix it. The work is to find out what has become unbearable and to discover whether there are possibilities that the pain has made invisible.

Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
Many of us feel pain and when we think that pain is insurmountable and permanent and there is no other way out, we sometimes think of ending our life as the solution. I do not go crazy when someone tells me that are having suicidal thoughts. I simply accept them and start digging into what the underlying pain is about and how I can help the person lesson that agony.

Stephanie Larsen @ Healthy Minds Psychology Group
Psychologist, PsyD
Hi! Congratulations on taking the first step in your journey of caring more deeply for yourself! I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults working to overcome their significant anxiety and depressive symptoms. Sometimes life can beat you down and it can be hard to get relief from the constant negative thoughts. I've spent much of my career working with clients on re-establishing their identity, challenging and changing their inner dialog, and supporting them on climbing out of the dark hole that depression can be. Ultimately, I strongly believe in building a close therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to explore and move past your anxious and depressive thought patterns, learn to support yourself, become more confident in your identity and purpose, and my goal is to help you achieve the goals you've set out to meet! Feel free to reach out and see if we can be a good fit to help move you closer to your goals and relief!
