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.

Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
If you're struggling with thoughts of suicide, you're not alone—and your pain is valid. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can talk openly about what you're feeling and begin to understand the emotional weight you're carrying. Using a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, we work to reduce immediate risk while exploring underlying issues such as depression, hopelessness, or past trauma. Together, we’ll develop coping tools, safety plans, and a path toward stability, support, and renewed hope. Help is here—you don’t have to face this alone.

Having thoughts of suicide can feel frightening and deeply isolating, but you are not alone. Many people experience these thoughts during times of intense pain, hopelessness, or overwhelm.
Therapy offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to talk openly about what you’re going through. Together, we’ll focus on reducing the intensity of these thoughts, strengthening support, and creating a plan that helps you feel safer and more grounded. You don’t have to carry this pain by yourself.
If you’re in immediate danger, please call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or go to your nearest emergency room.

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.
