Suicidal
Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Suicidal thoughts often emerge when emotional pain has exceeded a person’s perceived capacity to carry it, and no other form of relief feels imaginable. I approach suicidal ideation directly and without panic, shame, or avoidance, distinguishing a desire for pain to end from intent to die while taking every level of risk seriously. Treatment includes ongoing assessment, collaborative safety planning, strengthening support, and addressing the experiences beneath the crisis. Safety remains foundational, but the work does not end with keeping someone alive; it also asks what has made life feel unlivable and what must change for genuine connection, agency, and reasons for living to become possible. This reflects established guidance emphasizing direct assessment and collaborative safety planning.

Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Suicidal thoughts are some of the hardest things to admit to. People often worry "What happens if I say something?" or "How I will this affect my friends, family, spouse?" The first thing to know about suicidal thoughts is you're not alone and secondly, suicidal thoughts are often not really about suicide, it's about getting the pain to stop. In our work together, I will help you identify, process and overcome that pain. I take a collaborate approach where we address the stressors, traumas, family dynamics, and negative beliefs that keep you stuck so you can enjoy life again.
