Suicidal Thoughts therapists in Bethesda, Maryland MD

As a therapist, employing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address suicidal thoughts is a deeply empathetic and structured journey. Through a combination of validation, skill-building, and creating a safety plan, I collaborate closely with individuals to help them cope with intense emotions and develop healthier ways of navigating distress. The DBT framework provides a lifeline, offering tangible tools and strategies that empower clients to build resilience, find hope, and ultimately move beyond the shadows of suicidal ideation towards a more stable and fulfilling life.  

In addition to my person-centered approach to therapy, I am also intensively trained in comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to assist clients who are managing self-harm and suicidal ideation. Self-harm and suicidal ideation are behaviors that seek to resolve something that we view as a problem, and I use my eclectic skillset as a way to help clients problem solve differently and reconnect to the world in a way that enhances their quality of life and honors the nuances of who they are.
