Suicidal
Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I work with many people who experience suicidal thoughts and I take a calm, non-reactive approach to talking about suicide. I am comfortable talking about death and dying, and I also have experience as a deathcare worker, which informs my ability to sit with these conversations without panic or judgment. Many people are afraid to be honest about suicidal thoughts because they worry they will be overreacted to or not understood. In therapy, you can speak frankly and openly. I respect people’s autonomy while also taking their pain seriously, and we work together to understand what makes life feel unbearable and how we might work together to feel grounded, connected, and cared for.

Suicidal
Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
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.

Jen Johnston Collaborative Change Counseling and Wellness
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, LMHC
The clinicians in our group use the evidenced based approach of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when working with individuals struggling with suicidal thoughts and/or self injury. This approach blends acceptance and change strategies to help decrease these thoughts and behaviors that are often interfering with living and full and meaningful life. Specific Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Mindfulness skills are taught as part of this approach, and clients are encouraged to take action steps to find alternate means of coping with difficult thoughts and emotions. Two of our clinicians are comprehensively trained and sit on DBT Consultation Teams. The other two utilize a DBT informed approach when working with individuals for whom comprehensive DBT is not indicated.
