Suicidal
Reiss Psychology Services, PLLC
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with teens experiencing suicidal ideation using Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. DBT offers structured skills in distress tolerance that help teens move through acute emotional pain without acting on it. I work collaboratively with each teen to build a personalized safety plan, identifying warning signs, coping strategies, and support contacts they can turn to before a crisis escalates. CBT complements this by helping teens identify and challenge the distorted thoughts that often underlie suicidal thinking, such as hopelessness or feeling like a burden, and replacing them with more balanced perspectives grounded in evidence. Throughout this work, I maintain close communication with parents and, when appropriate, coordinate with other providers to ensure the teen has a strong support system beyond our sessions.

Suicidal
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.
