Suicidal
Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Suicidal thoughts often emerge when emotional pain has exceeded a person’s perceived capacity to carry it, and no other form of relief feels imaginable. I approach suicidal ideation directly and without panic, shame, or avoidance, distinguishing a desire for pain to end from intent to die while taking every level of risk seriously. Treatment includes ongoing assessment, collaborative safety planning, strengthening support, and addressing the experiences beneath the crisis. Safety remains foundational, but the work does not end with keeping someone alive; it also asks what has made life feel unlivable and what must change for genuine connection, agency, and reasons for living to become possible. This reflects established guidance emphasizing direct assessment and collaborative safety planning.

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.
