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.

Megan Hubert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, AMFT#159028, APCC#20648
I approach suicidal thoughts with compassion, sensitivity, and without judgment, recognizing that these experiences are often connected to deep emotional pain, hopelessness, or feeling overwhelmed. I provide a safe and supportive space where clients can openly share their experiences, explore underlying concerns, and work toward understanding, connection, and hope while building coping skills and support systems.

Escondido is an inland North San Diego County city with a majority Latino population and a character that distinguishes it from the coastal communities most associated with San Diego, and its mental health landscape reflects the economic pressures, immigration-related stress, and community challenges of a working-class city navigating rapid suburban growth alongside significant social needs. Spanish-language therapy is essential in Escondido, and bilingual practitioners who can work culturally competently with Mexican-American and immigrant communities are in significant demand. San Diego County behavioral health services extend to Escondido, and a private therapy sector serves those in a position to access it. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, family and relationship stress, acculturation challenges, and the economic pressures of living in one of California's most expensive regions while working in agriculture, construction, or the service sector.
