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.

Amanda S. Vaught
Psychologist, PsyD
I provide compassionate, nonjudgmental support for individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts. These thoughts are more common than many realize and often signal deep emotional pain rather than a true wish to die. Together, we work to understand the underlying causes, build coping strategies, and create a sense of safety and hope. Through evidence-based therapy, I help clients reduce distress, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with meaning, support, and reasons to live.

Peoria is a central Illinois city historically associated with the phrase 'Will it play in Peoria?'—a cultural benchmark for mainstream American taste—and home to major Caterpillar Inc. operations—the company that has shaped the city's industrial identity and workforce for generations. The city has faced significant challenges from deindustrialization and population decline, and OSF HealthCare's large integrated health system—including behavioral health services—is one of the most significant mental health resources for central Illinois. Bradley University contributes a student population and some counseling capacity, and a private therapy sector serves the professional and healthcare community. Common therapy concerns include economic anxiety tied to Caterpillar's global business cycles, depression and anxiety in a community navigating population and economic decline, industrial workforce stress, and the mental health challenges of mid-size Midwestern cities working to reimagine their futures.
