Suicidal
Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
Individuals with psychiatric disorders, particularly bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance abuse are at higher risk of suicide. So, too, are those with anxiety disorders, especially severe anxiety. Veterans and military personnel, members of the LGBTQ community, and white men ages 44-64 and 85 and older are also more impacted by suicide.
A fact sheet from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention shows that 12 million Americans had suicidal thoughts, and about 1.4 million tried to carry out those suicidal ideations. Among those whose death resulted from suicide, men were 3.63 times more likely than women to end their lives. Women, however, attempted suicide 1.66 times more than men. Tragically, in 90 percent of the suicide deaths, the individuals had a diagnosable mental health disorder or condition.
When considering therapies that can relieve suicidal thoughts, it’s important to recognize that there’s no single approach that’s universally effective. Different treatments have different efficacy for different disorders. Someone with treatment-resistant depression who’s experiencing chronic suicidal thoughts may benefit more from certain types of suicidal therapy than someone who’s thought about suicide after losing a loved one or feels hopeless following a lengthy illness or terminal diagnosis.
A suicide-specific form of psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy for suicide prevention (CT-SP) has shown impressive results in reducing suicidal thoughts and repeat suicide attempts, reducing depressive symptoms, and increasing hope. A primary treatment focus is reducing suicide risk factors and increasing coping skills. Central to the therapy is the tenet that the individual will continue to have stressors and problems, but armed with effective coping skills, they’ll no longer be automatically triggered to suicidal behavior.
This form of suicidal therapy includes a strategy for relapse prevention and making use of a hope kit to help prevent subsequent suicidal behavior.

Deshonda Davis
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW-C, CCIS-II
Experiencing suicidal thoughts can feel frightening, isolating, and difficult to discuss, but support is available. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore emotional distress, identify protective factors, and strengthen coping strategies and support systems. Treatment prioritizes safety, collaborative safety planning, and appropriate assessment of risk while helping clients work toward stability and hope.

Suicidal
Carter Doyle
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, EMT-P
Suicidal thoughts are often a sign of deep pain, not a wish to die. I provide a calm, non-punitive space to talk honestly about it so we can lower risk and increase hope. We identify the parts of you that want relief, build a safety plan, address trauma/depression drivers, and — if needed — add medication support. My goal is to help you stay alive and build a life that actually feels livable.

Amanda S. Vaught
Psychologist, PsyD
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.
