Daniel McNulty
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
In my approach to treating suicidal ideation, I employ Accelerated Resolution Therapy to help clients process and resolve underlying traumas contributing to their distress. Additionally, I integrate Attachment-based techniques to explore early relational patterns and foster a sense of connection and support. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I assist clients in identifying and challenging negative thought patterns, developing coping skills, and fostering emotional regulation to enhance resilience and promote safety.

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.
