Dr Pamela Helen Polcyn

Dealing with suicidal thoughts is challenging and critical. They need to be taken seriously. Concrete methods can be learned that will assist you in coping with these thought patterns. You are not alone and the right support from a crisis hotline can see you through these difficult times.

Suicidal
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.

Suicidal
Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Suicidal thinking often emerges from a brain in profound neurological despair — dysregulated, exhausted, and trapped in rigid patterns of hopelessness that feel permanent and inescapable.
Neurofeedback works alongside clinical treatment to retrain these patterns, restoring flexibility to a nervous system that has lost its ability to imagine relief. As the brain regulates, the crushing absoluteness of suicidal thinking often softens — creating the neurological space where hope, and help, can re-enter.
