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.

Suicidal thoughts can be very scary and isolating to experience, and very difficult to talk about. Seeking help to address those thoughts is an incredibly brave step, and I would be honored to support you in exploring your narrative to better understand the root cause of these thoughts, to empower you in your ability and skillset to reduce and eliminate these thoughts, and to have compassion for yourself in the process. You are not alone in this experience or this healing process, and you deserve to feel valuable, to feel joy, and to enjoy your life.

Gregor Nathanael Schwarz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I provide specialized, compassionate support for individuals struggling with suicidal ideation, self-harm, and intense emotional crisis. My approach is rooted in safety-first, evidence-based frameworks, utilizing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—in which I have extensive specialized training—and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you navigate periods of profound hopelessness. Drawing upon my comprehensive clinical background—including specialized outpatient DBT and post-doctoral training in externalizing problems—I bring a depth of experience in managing high-risk behaviors and complex emotional dysregulation. I work collaboratively with you to develop personalized safety plans, identify warning signs, and build the distress tolerance skills needed to manage overwhelming emotions. If you are struggling, please know you do not have to carry this burden alone; my goal is to provide a non-judgmental, stable environment where we can prioritize your immediate safety while working toward long-term stabilization, emotional healing, and a renewed sense of purpose.
