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.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
It's actually normal for people to be inquisitive about life and death - it's the great mystery. If you're going beyond this into planning, and fantasizing about how to kill yourself, pick up the phone now and call 911. Your life is precious, and there are so many connections that perhaps you have lost sight of. The pain will go away and it will change, but it starts by reaching out.

San Bernardino has among the highest rates of poverty and violent crime of any California city, and its therapists frequently work with community-level trauma, economic stress, and the compounding psychological effects of systemic disinvestment — challenges that have intensified through a city bankruptcy, rising homelessness, and limited public resources. The city has a predominantly Latino and Black population, and bilingual and culturally affirming therapists serve essential access roles in communities where language barriers and financial precarity limit engagement with conventional mental health services. Arrowhead Regional Medical Center provides the primary institutional mental health anchor for San Bernardino County's most vulnerable populations, with a private therapy community serving the university and suburban corridors. California State University San Bernardino's psychology programs supply some clinical training to the region, though the Inland Empire as a whole remains significantly underserved.
