John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
It's actually normal for people to be inquisitive about life and death - it's the great mystery. If you're going beyond this into planning, and fantasizing about how to kill yourself, pick up the phone now and call 911. Your life is precious, and there are so many connections that perhaps you have lost sight of. The pain will go away and it will change, but it starts by reaching out.

Dr. Howard Chusid
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D, LMHC, NCC, MAC
Why do people want to commit suicide? What about this life and this world is making them say "they want to leave"? Each of us has our own secrets that we think know one will understand. Those dark places which many of us go too, appears to be the answer to our problems. But, is it? If we could show someone that their are alternative answers that will allow them to live and have a good life, that is what we need to do. Thoughts are just the beginning of the road whose ending finishes everything. We need to give people an alternative, that is rational and achievable. Something that they will be able to hang on too, that will make the difference.

Dr. John E. N. Daniel
Marriage and Family Therapist, EdD; EdS; MA; MA; LCMFT#0404011018; BCCLC#0131
My therapeutic approach in dealing with suicide ideation/thoughts is based on using Cognitive Behavior Therapist (CBT) coupled with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). At the core, using CBT I combine myriad treatment and techniques that all share a common principle that thoughts, rather than external circumstances, cause feelings and behaviors. As such, I make the assumption that client manifestations of client feelings and behaviors originate from client cognitions, individual self-talk, attitudes, value systems and expectations.

Gainesville is home to the University of Florida, one of the largest universities in the United States by enrollment, and the city's character and mental health landscape are overwhelmingly shaped by this—a huge, young student population with significant academic, social, and identity-related mental health needs, supported by one of Florida's most comprehensive university counseling systems. UF Health Shands Hospital provides one of the state's strongest behavioral health services, making Gainesville an important regional resource for psychiatric care across north Florida. The population dynamic creates a city that is both progressive and college-town oriented, surrounded by a more rural north Florida context, and therapists in Gainesville work across a wide range of populations and presenting concerns. Common therapy concerns include academic stress, identity development, anxiety, substance use, young adult life transitions, and the particular challenges of a college community navigating mental health support often for the first time.
