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.

Jarrece Patrick
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC
If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts, it can feel isolating and overwhelming—but you don’t have to face it alone. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to talk openly about these feelings and work collaboratively to identify coping strategies, safety planning, and support systems. Using evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs, I help clients navigate this difficult time with care, understanding, and practical tools to regain hope and stability. Your life is valuable, and reaching out for support is a courageous first step toward healing.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients who are experiencing suicidal thoughts, hopelessness, emotional overwhelm, or the feeling that they cannot keep going the way things are. Therapy provides a safe and direct space to talk honestly about these thoughts without judgment. Together, we focus on reducing immediate distress, strengthening coping strategies, increasing support, and addressing the patterns that contribute to feeling trapped or hopeless. My goal is to help clients find safety, stability, and a path forward.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
We support you in learning how to step out of your feelings and ground your life in the virtues. This becomes a stabilizing force in your life during those times when you just don't feel like it anymore and as we address the underlying pain that brought you to thinking about suicide in the first place, you will begin to heal and your emotions will recalibrate. Your hunger and zest for life will return.

Columbia is home to the University of Missouri, the flagship state university, as well as several other colleges, giving it a pronounced college-town character and a mental health landscape significantly shaped by the needs of a large and diverse student population navigating academic pressure, identity, and the transition to adulthood. The MU School of Health Professions and Missouri Psychiatric Center contribute to the city's mental health professional resources, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves both the university community and permanent residents. The city has a generally progressive and intellectually engaged culture with a positive attitude toward therapy, and LGBTQ+ affirmative care is more accessible here than in many other parts of Missouri. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic and identity stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and the particular experiences of a university community navigating complex social terrain in a politically divided state.
