Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
We support you in learning how to step out of your feelings and ground your life in the virtues. This becomes a stabilizing force in your life during those times when you just don't feel like it anymore and as we address the underlying pain that brought you to thinking about suicide in the first place, you will begin to heal and your emotions will recalibrate. Your hunger and zest for life will return.

Jennifer Canu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Suicidal thoughts, as most mental health symptoms, are on a spectrum ranging from fleeting thoughts/statements of wanting to die (suicide expression) to active suicidal thoughts with a plan and intent. I have over 15 years experience treating suicidal thoughts of varying intensity and risk. With my client's consent, I partner with external supports such as psychiatrists, family members, schools and physicians in safety planning, treatment planning and after-care planning following a 5150/5585 hold or hospitalization. When a child or teen experiences suicidal thoughts, I engage parents/caregivers in safety planning and developing strategies to address underlying triggers and dynamics that may contribute to suicidal thoughts.

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.

Danielle Esses
Psychologist, PsyD
Suicidal thoughts are often a sign of profound pain, overwhelm, or feeling trapped, not a sign that something is wrong with you at your core. Therapy provides a space to take these experiences seriously, understand what drives them, and build safer, more effective ways of coping.

Santa Clara is at the heart of Silicon Valley, home to the global headquarters of major technology companies and a dense ecosystem of tech employers whose high-performance culture creates the well-documented mental health challenges of the sector—burnout, imposter syndrome, and the chronic stress of working at the frontier of global competition. The city is exceptionally diverse, with large South Asian and East Asian communities representing a significant proportion of the workforce, and the cultural dimensions of mental health stigma and help-seeking within these communities shape how therapy is accessed. Santa Clara University's Jesuit tradition contributes a values-oriented approach to student well-being, and the university's counseling center serves its student population. Common therapy concerns include tech industry burnout, anxiety, bicultural identity and acculturation stress, relationship difficulties, and the financial pressure of one of the most expensive housing markets in the country.
