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.

Allyson Stephens
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
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.

If you're experiencing suicidal thoughts, please know that you're not alone and help is available. Therapy provides immediate support and long-term treatment for individuals struggling with suicidal ideation, self-harm urges, or feeling like life isn't worth living. At LPP, we create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can talk openly about these painful thoughts and feelings without fear of overreaction or dismissal. Through evidence-based interventions, we'll help you develop safety plans, identify reasons for living, address underlying mental health conditions, build effective coping strategies, and rediscover hope for the future. If needed, we also have very close relationships with higher levels of care in our area, and often will refer clients to these specialty programs in order to ensure safety. Suicidal thoughts are often temporary responses to overwhelming pain—with the right support, you can get through this crisis and find relief from the suffering you're experiencing.
