Suicidal
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.

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.

Megan Hubert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, AMFT#159028, APCC#20648
I approach suicidal thoughts with compassion, sensitivity, and without judgment, recognizing that these experiences are often connected to deep emotional pain, hopelessness, or feeling overwhelmed. I provide a safe and supportive space where clients can openly share their experiences, explore underlying concerns, and work toward understanding, connection, and hope while building coping skills and support systems.

Shayda Ewalt
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Suicidal thoughts are often a sign of overwhelming pain, not a desire to die, but a desire for relief. If you are experiencing these thoughts, you are not alone, and there is no judgment here. Together, we create safety, explore the depth of your suffering with compassion, and build internal and external supports to help you move through the pain without facing it alone.
