Suicidal
Jen Johnston Collaborative Change Counseling and Wellness
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, LMHC
The clinicians in our group use the evidenced based approach of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when working with individuals struggling with suicidal thoughts and/or self injury. This approach blends acceptance and change strategies to help decrease these thoughts and behaviors that are often interfering with living and full and meaningful life. Specific Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Mindfulness skills are taught as part of this approach, and clients are encouraged to take action steps to find alternate means of coping with difficult thoughts and emotions. Two of our clinicians are comprehensively trained and sit on DBT Consultation Teams. The other two utilize a DBT informed approach when working with individuals for whom comprehensive DBT is not indicated.

Gregor Nathanael Schwarz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I provide specialized, compassionate support for individuals struggling with suicidal ideation, self-harm, and intense emotional crisis. My approach is rooted in safety-first, evidence-based frameworks, utilizing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—in which I have extensive specialized training—and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you navigate periods of profound hopelessness. Drawing upon my comprehensive clinical background—including specialized outpatient DBT and post-doctoral training in externalizing problems—I bring a depth of experience in managing high-risk behaviors and complex emotional dysregulation. I work collaboratively with you to develop personalized safety plans, identify warning signs, and build the distress tolerance skills needed to manage overwhelming emotions. If you are struggling, please know you do not have to carry this burden alone; my goal is to provide a non-judgmental, stable environment where we can prioritize your immediate safety while working toward long-term stabilization, emotional healing, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Suicidal
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
If you are having thoughts of ending your life, you do not need someone to panic. You need someone who can hear it. Suicidal thinking is often the mind's way of saying that something in the current life has become unbearable — and that the person cannot yet see another way through. Therapy is a place to say the thing out loud, without performance, without crisis, without anyone rushing to fix it. The work is to find out what has become unbearable and to discover whether there are possibilities that the pain has made invisible.
