Suicidal
Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Suicidal thoughts often emerge when emotional pain has exceeded a person’s perceived capacity to carry it, and no other form of relief feels imaginable. I approach suicidal ideation directly and without panic, shame, or avoidance, distinguishing a desire for pain to end from intent to die while taking every level of risk seriously. Treatment includes ongoing assessment, collaborative safety planning, strengthening support, and addressing the experiences beneath the crisis. Safety remains foundational, but the work does not end with keeping someone alive; it also asks what has made life feel unlivable and what must change for genuine connection, agency, and reasons for living to become possible. This reflects established guidance emphasizing direct assessment and collaborative safety planning.

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.

Thank you for telling me. You're not alone, even though it probably feels like you are. I hope that together we can find reasons for you not to give up on this wild world, and to find the beauty in it and in yourself that leads you back toward light and purpose.

If you are depressed, worried about yourself -- or a family member describes, feeling depressed, hopeless, demoralized and ambivalant about life and is thinking about suicide, you are not alone. Help is available if you can reach out.
It is worth reaching out to a therapist, family member or close friend for help.
If you are in an urgent state of mind right now, go to your nearest Emergency Room or call the Suicide Prevention line at 988.

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
I have extensive experience working with suicidal thoughts and ideation, and I approach this area with care, curiosity, and a deep respect for honesty. Suicidal thoughts are more common than many people realize, and I believe they deserve space in therapy—both to reduce distress and to explore the deeper themes they may be pointing to. In our work, I aim to create a space where you can speak openly without fear of judgment or alarmism, while also taking safety seriously. When the foundation is stable enough, we can explore the meanings behind these thoughts—whether they relate to pain, control, disconnection, or a desire for relief—and begin to understand what your system is trying to communicate.
