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
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.
