Suicidal
Jennifer Canu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Suicidal thoughts, as most mental health symptoms, are on a spectrum ranging from fleeting thoughts/statements of wanting to die (suicide expression) to active suicidal thoughts with a plan and intent. I have over 15 years experience treating suicidal thoughts of varying intensity and risk. With my client's consent, I partner with external supports such as psychiatrists, family members, schools and physicians in safety planning, treatment planning and after-care planning following a 5150/5585 hold or hospitalization. When a child or teen experiences suicidal thoughts, I engage parents/caregivers in safety planning and developing strategies to address underlying triggers and dynamics that may contribute to suicidal thoughts.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
We support you in learning how to step out of your feelings and ground your life in the virtues. This becomes a stabilizing force in your life during those times when you just don't feel like it anymore and as we address the underlying pain that brought you to thinking about suicide in the first place, you will begin to heal and your emotions will recalibrate. Your hunger and zest for life will return.

Suicidal
Miriam Adrianowicz
Psychologist, PsyD
When depression takes over, it's common to feel that life isn't worth living. Whether these thoughts are passive or active, we'll work together to first ensure your safety. I believe the more we vocalize our suicidal thoughts, the more it diffuses them. Or rather, talking about suicidal thoughts does not make you more likely to act on them; it, instead, creates an outlet for these sometimes scary ideas, actually decreasing the felt need for action. Suicidal thoughts are so stigmatized, but at some point in our lives, I believe everyone thinks about suicide in some way -- whether it's intellectually/existentially or from a place of pain and depression. Taking away that stigma and talking non-judgmentally about what you're thinking can help you make sense of these sometimes disturbing thoughts. We can figure out what role they play in your psyche, how to relieve some of the pain they cause, and make sure safety is priority #1.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Working with a skillful therapist provides a confidential space that allows you to explore suicidal thoughts, overwhelming emotional distress and hopelessness without judgment. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based tools that help you regulate intense emotions, free you from self-sabotaging patterns, and help you to build the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Suicidal
Danielle Esses
Psychologist, PsyD
Suicidal thoughts are often a sign of profound pain, overwhelm, or feeling trapped, not a sign that something is wrong with you at your core. Therapy provides a space to take these experiences seriously, understand what drives them, and build safer, more effective ways of coping.
