Suicidal
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.

Independence is a Kansas City suburb with a distinctive character rooted in its historical significance as the starting point of the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails and as the world headquarters of the Community of Christ—a significant Latter Day Saint denomination—as well as being the hometown of President Harry S. Truman, a combination that gives the city a particular civic identity unusual for a suburb of its size. The religious community anchored by the Community of Christ Temple creates both a strong support network and specific mental health considerations around faith, doubt, and community belonging for those navigating their relationship with the church. Centerpoint Medical Center and the broader Kansas City health system provide behavioral health resources to Independence and surrounding communities. Common therapy concerns include faith and spiritual identity, commuter stress from the Kansas City metro, economic anxiety, family and relationship issues, and the particular dynamics of a community where civic pride and religious heritage are deeply intertwined.
