Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
If you're struggling with thoughts of not wanting to be here or feeling like things will never get better, please know—you're not alone, and there is help. Suicidal thoughts often come from a place of deep pain, exhaustion, or feeling stuck, not from weakness. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to talk openly about what you’re going through and to begin building hope, safety, and support. Together, we’ll work toward understanding the pain beneath the thoughts and finding ways to reconnect with meaning, purpose, and life again—one step at a time

Suicidal Ideation is so common ( normal) that SID is a well known abbreviation for it. Bring it in and lets get friendly with it.

Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Suicidal ideations and self harm are very important parts of a person's system that are present to help extinguish deep pain and hurt. Once we are able to help the parts of you that are in pain or hurting with compassion, the symptoms of suicidal ideations and self harm will decrease as they will no longer need to help you escape the pain you are in.

Suicidal Ideations (or suicidal thoughts) refers to thinking about or planning suicide – the act of ending one’s own life. It is not uncommon for people to experience suicidal thoughts when they are faced with times of extreme stress, serious injury or illness, or mental struggles such as Depression.
When a person feels trapped, hopeless, or is having immense emotional or physical pain, thoughts of ending life as a way out can occur. There are biological, psychological, social, and environmental factors that can increase the risk of suicide – these factors coupled with adverse life events and a belief there is no other way out can lead to suicidal ideations.
Passive Suicidal Ideation is when a person sometimes wishes they were dead but do not have any actual plans to commit suicide. However, when the thoughts turn to actual intent to kill oneself and include plans as to how to carry it out, that is called Active Suicidal Ideation.
Therapy can be very helpful for an individual with suicidal thoughts. Hopeless feelings can be improved when viewed from different perspectives and a therapist can offer those insights. Support from friends, family, and groups can be helpful for continued connection and encouragement both during and after therapy.
