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.

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.

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.
