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.

Depression and suicidal thoughts are worthy of clinical attention. I offer therapy to support you to consider that you can improve your relationship with yourself and enhance your capacity to better cope with depressive thoughts and fears. I have experience with helping people with depression, bipolar disorder and persistent symptoms of depression. If you are currently suicidal, please go to your local Emergency Room. You can also contact 889 or 1877-330-6366 for emotional support. I will do all I can to support your stability and create a non-judemental clinial atmosphere to help you to articulate your emotions, conflicts or fears. I look forward to speaking with you.

Benedict Choi, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, EMDR, IFS Informed
Suicidal Thoughts are not permanent nor are they always signs that you are actually wanting to kill yourself. For clients that come in with passive suicidal ideation, it is critical to first understand this and then to get curious about why there may be a part that may be considering not wanting to be in this world. anymore. It is also important to pay attention to the intentions of these parts that are wanting client to self harm, as they may be pointing to deeper unmet needs and longings. I am skilled in safety planning, and have been trained in CAMS (Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality), an evidence-based approach to treating people suffering from serious thoughts of self-harm.
