Suicidal Thoughts therapists in Colorado Springs, Colorado CO

If you have thoughts of wishing you were dead, suicidal daydreaming, or self-harming thoughts and behaviors, I can help you get to the root of this and heal the pain underneath these thoughts and urges. I approach all my clients with deep empathy and positive regard for the burdens you've had to carry - sometimes the expression of those burdens is suicidal thoughts, which is often relief-seeking from the emotional pain. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental counseling experience where we explore the depths of your pain together.  

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.  

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.
