Suicidal Thoughts
Heidi Lindeman Self Grounded Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, M.Div., M.A., LPC
Suicidal thoughts can alert you to deeper needs you have and you CAN learn to hear the deeper messages under suicidal thoughts. Suicidal thoughts come in many forms. From a desire to not exist anymore, to thinking about particular ways to kill yourself, to thinking acting on suicidal thoughts is the only options. I have learned through personal experience that suicidal thoughts are telling me something (and it's not that I need to be dead). Tuning into the particular ways you envision killing yourslef we can learn what each method means. Maybe you are thinking about pills because you're emotionally/physically exhausted and want an easy release from the pain you feel. What if you could find some relief without killing yourself? I truly believe there are ways to support yourself to meet the deeper needs you have. You CAN learn to deeply love and appreciate your suicidal parts. I know this because I deeply love and respect my suicidal parts. I can help you transform your relationship to suicidal thoughts. You no longer will have to live in fear of them. In fact when we are so afraid of suicidal thoughts and are trying so hard to make them go away it sometimes increases the thoughts. It's not comfortable or easy to live with suicidal thoughts. Yet, you can learn a new way to be with suicidal thoughts that is not as taxing on you. Together we can create internal boundaries and help your suicidal parts talk differently to you, where they will not need to be as strong. The suicidal parts are working hard to protect you. You might be surprised to learn that your suicidal parts actually are the parts of you that care the most about you. We can help your suicdal parts shift from the burden of thinking you need to die. They can shift into being strong care takers for YOUR life because YOU, MY DARLING, MATTER.

Jennifer Luttman
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, ACS
They are there not only to listen to you and hear what you are saying, but they are also there to talk to.
The great thing about counselors is that they are not friends or family, or anything in between.
They are a neutral party that you can speak to confidentially about anything that is bothering you.
No judging goes on, it is just you and your counselor, one-on-one, learning about you, together.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was one of the first therapies to treat highly suicidal individuals on an outpatient basis. Because DBT considers suicide as the solution, not the actual problem itself, DBT therapists are focused on identifying the actual problems in order to assist with different, tangible solutions. Not only that, but DBT therapists are able to speak frankly about death instead of tiptoeing around it, treating patients with respect rather than patronizing with whispery tones and “concerned” looks. Within DBT, no person is treated as “fragile” and though the situation may be serious, we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
