Jessica Oliver, Aspire Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Several of our therapists offer Dialectical Behavior Therapy which is very effective for helping individuals with suicidal thoughts. We believe that it's not enough to just keep you alive, but that we need to help you create a life worth living. That is just what DBT does. It helps you get to the root of those thoughts, figure out what exactly has contributed to any past suicide attempts and help you learn new skills to cope with your emotions and create a life full of the things that matter to you.

Robert Good
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., Th.M., LPC, CART
Individual counseling is offered to individuals in helping them achieve control over actions through an understanding of how thoughts, feelings, and decisions produce actions. We provide a safe environment where one’s private pain can be shared in confidence with a trained therapist to grow in self-awareness and self-esteem while helping a person make decisions, solve problems, and overcome past and present abuses and pains. Sometimes when negative memories prohibit an individual from enjoying a satisfying life, issues in one’s family of origin can be explored to understand the past and seek to establish a new identity.
Feelings like fear, sorrow, anger, rejection, and loneliness can lessen as self-acceptance and coping skills are encouraged and strengthened.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Suicidal thoughts and self-injury impulses often come from parts of us trying to protect against unbearable pain, emotional overwhelm, or feelings of worthlessness. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients gently explore and understand these reactive parts with compassion, reducing shame and building a sense of inner safety. Somatic regulation, mindfulness, and DBT-informed skills are integrated to strengthen self-regulation, improve coping, and decrease overwhelm. Together, we work on uncovering the deeper layers of distress and developing new ways to soothe and support yourself so that these protective impulses become less urgent and less consuming. My diagnostic expertise and collaboration with prescribers ensure comprehensive care when additional support is needed.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist addressing suicidal thinking, my foremost priority is creating a safe and empathetic space for individuals to express their emotions without judgment. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and interpersonal therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to explore the underlying causes of their suicidal thoughts and develop coping strategies to manage them. By fostering a sense of hope, resilience, and connection, I aim to help individuals develop a safety plan, enhance their support networks, and build skills to navigate crises effectively. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of ongoing monitoring and communication to ensure individuals feel heard, understood, and supported throughout their recovery journey. My goal is to empower individuals to find meaning, purpose, and hope in life, while providing compassionate support and guidance every step of the way.
