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.

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.

Suicidal
Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Suicidal thoughts are some of the hardest things to admit to. People often worry "What happens if I say something?" or "How I will this affect my friends, family, spouse?" The first thing to know about suicidal thoughts is you're not alone and secondly, suicidal thoughts are often not really about suicide, it's about getting the pain to stop. In our work together, I will help you identify, process and overcome that pain. I take a collaborate approach where we address the stressors, traumas, family dynamics, and negative beliefs that keep you stuck so you can enjoy life again.

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.
