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.

It can be really hard to process that we are having suicidal thoughts. It is okay to have these thoughts but I can help you find alternatives to this way of thinking. I use IFS, EMDR, Somatic Therapy, CBT, and DBT for this issue.

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.
