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.

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.

Suicidal
Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
If suicidal thoughts are something common that you've been living with for a long time, then weekly therapy may be appropriate for you. The limitation of weekly, telehealth sessions exists when your thoughts begin to create a plan and you notice your hopelessness rising, along with more and more intent to act on the plan. While suicidal ideation can be unpredictable, and I am able to support you in finding the level of care you need, if the time does come, I do not start a therapeutic relationship with someone who needs more care than I can currently give through Zoom sessions.
I volunteered as a Hotline Crisis Counselor at Didi Hirsch's Suicide Hotline before graduate school. My skills and technique for facing crises continued to develop through school and client experience.
When you're not in crisis, we'll be sure to emphasize techniques of building safety in your environment, in our relationship, as well as within your own body during and outside of our sessions. We'll emphasize where you feel some sense of hope and purpose and give space for any and all the existing ambiguity.

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.
