Treatment Center, DHCS# 190116AP
The treatment for suicidal thoughts at our facility is founded on immediate intervention and empathetic support to address the urgent mental health needs of individuals experiencing such distress. Our highly trained team of mental health professionals employs a comprehensive approach, combining crisis intervention, psychotherapy, and, if necessary, psychiatric evaluation and medication management. We prioritize creating a safe and non-judgmental environment where individuals can express their feelings openly. Therapeutic modalities such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are utilized to explore the underlying issues contributing to suicidal thoughts and develop coping mechanisms. The treatment process emphasizes ongoing monitoring and support, with a focus on collaborative safety planning. Our dedicated team is committed to providing immediate assistance and working collaboratively towards a path of healing, recovery, and improved mental well-being.

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.
