Suicidal Thoughts
PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was one of the first therapies to treat highly suicidal individuals on an outpatient basis. Because DBT considers suicide as the solution, not the actual problem itself, DBT therapists are focused on identifying the actual problems in order to assist with different, tangible solutions. Not only that, but DBT therapists are able to speak frankly about death instead of tiptoeing around it, treating patients with respect rather than patronizing with whispery tones and “concerned” looks. Within DBT, no person is treated as “fragile” and though the situation may be serious, we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Experiencing suicidal thoughts can profoundly affect individuals with addictions, relationship issues, or depression. A person battling addiction may view suicide as an escape from cravings, while relationship problems or depression may lead to feelings of hopelessness and self-harm ideation. To support them, I'd provide a safe space for expression, encourage open communication, and collaborate on coping strategies like seeking professional help and self-care activities, aiming to offer reassurance and empowerment.

Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I approach the delicate issue of suicidal thoughts with deep compassion and understanding. I recognize the profound pain and despair that can lead to such thoughts, enveloping one's existence in shadows. My commitment is to offer a safe, non-judgmental space where these feelings can be expressed and explored with sensitivity. Together, we will work to uncover and address the underlying issues, fostering a renewed sense of hope and purpose. It's a journey towards healing, where each step is taken with care and the ultimate goal is to rediscover the light within, illuminating a path away from despair and towards a life filled with meaning and connection.
