Suicidal
Monica Buttafava
Counselor/Therapist, M.S., LMHC
Suicidal thoughts or suicidal ideations in young children and adolescents may manifest themselves indirectly through interest and/or preoccupation with suicide and death, or more directly when kids speak about "wanting to make it all go away" or thinking "the world would be a better place without me."
Other signs are social withdrawal, depression, aggressive and hostile behavior, declined interest in hobbies and activities previously enjoyed, feeling of worthlessness, self-hatred, expression of guilt or hopelessness about the future, neglecting personal appearance and grooming, reckless or risk-taking behavior, running away, changes in sleep, appetite, and energy level.
Seeking treatment for your child is essential. A trained mental health professional may pick up on subtle cues, address underneath thoughts and feelings, and assess individual risk factors and severity of the individual's condition.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, TEP
Psychotherapy opens our perceptions to the meanings behind our beliefs and patterns of behavior, that in turn comprise the roles we take in our lives. My job is to help you integrate these perceptions and access these meanings, so you can expand your life by creating new roles.

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.

West Palm Beach is the county seat and largest city of Palm Beach County, sitting just across the Intracoastal Waterway from the ultra-wealthy enclave of Palm Beach island, and this juxtaposition of extreme wealth and the more working-class and ethnically diverse West Palm Beach community creates a distinctive mental health context around economic inequality, aspiration, and the psychological impact of proximity to extreme affluence. The city has a large Black and Latino community with significant Haitian and Caribbean heritage, and culturally competent Spanish- and Haitian Creole-speaking therapists are in demand. Palm Beach County's behavioral health system and a private therapy sector—including a substantial addiction treatment industry that draws clients from across the country—serve different segments of the population. Common therapy concerns include economic stress and inequality, Black and Caribbean-American identity, addiction and recovery, anxiety, and the complex emotional experience of living adjacent to one of the wealthiest communities in the world.
