Suicidal
Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
If you're struggling with thoughts of suicide, you're not alone—and your pain is valid. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can talk openly about what you're feeling and begin to understand the emotional weight you're carrying. Using a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, we work to reduce immediate risk while exploring underlying issues such as depression, hopelessness, or past trauma. Together, we’ll develop coping tools, safety plans, and a path toward stability, support, and renewed hope. Help is here—you don’t have to face this alone.

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.

Suicidal
Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
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.

Suicidal
PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, 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.

Kansas City, Kansas is a distinct city from its more prominent Missouri neighbor across the state line, with a lower median income, a more industrial economic base, and a substantially more diverse population that includes large Latino, Somali, and other immigrant communities for whom culturally and linguistically appropriate mental health care is a significant need. Wyandotte County, which encompasses Kansas City, Kansas, has fewer mental health resources than the Missouri side of the metro, and many residents cross into Missouri to access the broader Kansas City mental health market. Common therapy concerns include immigration-related stress and trauma, family dynamics, economic anxiety, depression, and the challenges of navigating daily life in a community where language barriers can limit access to support. University of Kansas Health System, based in the city, provides some behavioral health services, and community health centers fill important gaps in a county with significant unmet mental health need.
