HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
Many of us have suicidal thoughts, even murderous thoughts. The important distinction to remember is that thought and acting on the thought are two completely different scenarios. I welcome clients that are challenged with said thoughts and am willing and delighted that we can have such meaningful conversations to get to the cause of and release such depressing and angry thoughts so that we can live a happy, productive, safe, and secure life of joy and sovereignty.

Iris Bowen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MBA
Many folks I work with experience suicidal thoughts, so if you are scared, sad, or tired of this experience you are not alone. As an abolitionist therapist, I aim to help you lean on social and communal supports when experiencing suicidal ideation, knowing that for many people--Black and Brown folks in particular—it can feel really scary to discuss these things with a provider for fear of being placed into a carceral setting for forced treatment. I believe in your dignity and right to receive care that is self-determined and consensual.

Ashlyn Parks
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC., MT-BC.
Struggling with any form of suicidal thoughts can be incredibly isolating. These thoughts are not your fault, and you deserve to feel supported in exploring them. Having thoughts of self-harm does not negate the rest of who you are.

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.

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!

Dr. Stephanie Vaughn
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."

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.
