Suicidal
Jen Johnston Collaborative Change Counseling and Wellness
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, LMHC
The clinicians in our group use the evidenced based approach of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when working with individuals struggling with suicidal thoughts and/or self injury. This approach blends acceptance and change strategies to help decrease these thoughts and behaviors that are often interfering with living and full and meaningful life. Specific Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Mindfulness skills are taught as part of this approach, and clients are encouraged to take action steps to find alternate means of coping with difficult thoughts and emotions. Two of our clinicians are comprehensively trained and sit on DBT Consultation Teams. The other two utilize a DBT informed approach when working with individuals for whom comprehensive DBT is not indicated.

Erik Stenglein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
Specialties include suicidal ideation support, suicide risk assessment, safety planning, emotional regulation, crisis support, and trauma-informed care for adults.
I work with adults 18+ who experience suicidal thoughts, passive suicidality, or feelings of hopelessness and despair. Many clients come to therapy feeling scared by their thoughts, ashamed to talk about them, or unsure whether they can be honest without being judged. My approach is calm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, focused on creating safety, reducing distress, and helping clients feel understood rather than pathologized. Therapy is a space to openly discuss suicidal thoughts, strengthen coping and protective factors, and build a plan for navigating difficult moments while working toward stability, meaning, and connection.

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.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Having thoughts of suicide can feel frightening and deeply isolating, but you are not alone. Many people experience these thoughts during times of intense pain, hopelessness, or overwhelm.
Therapy offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to talk openly about what you’re going through. Together, we’ll focus on reducing the intensity of these thoughts, strengthening support, and creating a plan that helps you feel safer and more grounded. You don’t have to carry this pain by yourself.
If you’re in immediate danger, please call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or go to your nearest emergency room.
