Suicidal Thoughts
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.
