Suicidal
PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was one of the first therapies to treat highly suicidal individuals on an outpatient basis. Because DBT considers suicide as the solution, not the actual problem itself, DBT therapists are focused on identifying the actual problems in order to assist with different, tangible solutions. Not only that, but DBT therapists are able to speak frankly about death instead of tiptoeing around it, treating patients with respect rather than patronizing with whispery tones and “concerned” looks. Within DBT, no person is treated as “fragile” and though the situation may be serious, we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

Springfield is Missouri's third-largest city and the hub of the Ozarks region, home to Missouri State University and several other colleges, which gives it an active student population alongside a broader community of families, retirees, and healthcare and service sector workers. The cultural landscape of southwest Missouri is predominantly evangelical and conservative, which influences how mental health is perceived in the community, though awareness and acceptance of therapy have grown considerably in recent years. CoxHealth and Mercy Hospital both operate significant behavioral health programs in Springfield, making the city an important regional resource for mental health care across the rural Ozarks. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, faith and religious identity, family and relationship issues, and the particular stresses of navigating mental health care in a region where stigma is gradually but meaningfully declining.
