When someone is feeling suicidal, it can feel overwhelming. It may feel like there are no other options than to act on those feelings. We can explore the protective factors that will help in keeping those from harming themselves and craft a useful and fluid safety plan that can be shared with those that can be trusted.

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
I have extensive experience working with suicidal thoughts and ideation, and I approach this area with care, curiosity, and a deep respect for honesty. Suicidal thoughts are more common than many people realize, and I believe they deserve space in therapy—both to reduce distress and to explore the deeper themes they may be pointing to. In our work, I aim to create a space where you can speak openly without fear of judgment or alarmism, while also taking safety seriously. When the foundation is stable enough, we can explore the meanings behind these thoughts—whether they relate to pain, control, disconnection, or a desire for relief—and begin to understand what your system is trying to communicate.

Talking openly about suicidal thoughts takes courage, and clients deserve a therapist who can hold that conversation without flinching or minimising it. I create a space where these thoughts can be named honestly, understood in context, and worked with safely, alongside appropriate risk management and support.
