Suicidal Thoughts
Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I would offer comprehensive support to individuals contending with suicidal thoughts. Initially, I'd establish a safe and non-judgmental environment for them to express their feelings openly. Subsequently, we would delve into the underlying emotional disturbances, traumatic triggers, or relational challenges fueling their suicidal ideations. Through therapy, we'll address distorted thought patterns and bolster coping skills. Moreover, I'd collaborate with them to devise a safety plan for managing crises effectively and connect them with suitable resources, such as crisis hotlines or support groups. The primary objective is to provide compassionate assistance, foster hope, and empower them to overcome suicidal thoughts while addressing core emotional and relational issues.

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. Bridget Kromrey
Psychologist, PsyD
I have worked with individuals across the lifespan who experience suicidal thoughts, self harm, and who have attempted suicide. I believe therapy is a unique space where we can explore these vulnerable thoughts and behaviors, while creating a space to promote safety, coping, and change. Suicidal thoughts can often leave individuals feeling more isolate and alone. My hope is through therapy, these experiences can feel less lonely.
