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.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
It's actually normal for people to be inquisitive about life and death - it's the great mystery. If you're going beyond this into planning, and fantasizing about how to kill yourself, pick up the phone now and call 911. Your life is precious, and there are so many connections that perhaps you have lost sight of. The pain will go away and it will change, but it starts by reaching out.

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.

Suicidal
Cindy Lee Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
I specialize in working with adults experiencing suicidal thoughts, suicidal ideation, and feelings of hopelessness or emotional overwhelm. These experiences can range from passive thoughts of not wanting to be here, to more persistent or intrusive thoughts during periods of high distress. They are often linked to underlying pain, trauma, depression, or long-standing emotional burdens that have become difficult to carry alone.
My approach is grounded in safety, stabilization, and careful pacing. The initial focus of therapy is on reducing distress, increasing emotional regulation, and strengthening internal and external supports so that you are not navigating these experiences in isolation.
I use trauma-informed, evidence-based modalities including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) when appropriate, to address the underlying experiences that contribute to suicidal thinking. These approaches support the nervous system in processing overwhelming emotional material while building greater capacity for stability and resilience.
I also incorporate nervous system regulation and attachment-focused work, with an emphasis on helping clients develop stronger internal safety, self-compassion, and a more grounded sense of connection to life and relationships. Therapy is collaborative and paced carefully, with ongoing attention to your level of readiness and safety throughout the process.
Many clients find that as underlying pain is processed and coping capacity increases, suicidal thoughts become less frequent, less intense, and less central to their daily experience, replaced gradually by a greater sense of stability, meaning, and agency.
