Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
If suicidal thoughts are something common that you've been living with for a long time, then weekly therapy may be appropriate for you. The limitation of weekly, telehealth sessions exists when your thoughts begin to create a plan and you notice your hopelessness rising, along with more and more intent to act on the plan. While suicidal ideation can be unpredictable, and I am able to support you in finding the level of care you need, if the time does come, I do not start a therapeutic relationship with someone who needs more care than I can currently give through Zoom sessions.
I volunteered as a Hotline Crisis Counselor at Didi Hirsch's Suicide Hotline before graduate school. My skills and technique for facing crises continued to develop through school and client experience.
When you're not in crisis, we'll be sure to emphasize techniques of building safety in your environment, in our relationship, as well as within your own body during and outside of our sessions. We'll emphasize where you feel some sense of hope and purpose and give space for any and all the existing ambiguity.

Shayda Ewalt
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Suicidal thoughts are often a sign of overwhelming pain, not a desire to die, but a desire for relief. If you are experiencing these thoughts, you are not alone, and there is no judgment here. Together, we create safety, explore the depth of your suffering with compassion, and build internal and external supports to help you move through the pain without facing it alone.

New Beginnings Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Experiencing suicidal thoughts can feel overwhelming, frightening, and isolating. In therapy, we provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to talk openly about these feelings, explore their underlying causes, and develop immediate safety strategies. Through compassionate, Christ-centered guidance and evidence-based support, clients learn coping skills, regain hope, and build a path toward emotional and spiritual healing, empowerment, and renewed purpose. Immediate help and safety planning are always the first priority.

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.
