Suicidal
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients who are experiencing suicidal thoughts, hopelessness, emotional overwhelm, or the feeling that they cannot keep going the way things are. Therapy provides a safe and direct space to talk honestly about these thoughts without judgment. Together, we focus on reducing immediate distress, strengthening coping strategies, increasing support, and addressing the patterns that contribute to feeling trapped or hopeless. My goal is to help clients find safety, stability, and a path forward.

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.

When someone is feeling suicidal, it can feel overwhelming. It may feel like there are no other options than to act on those feelings.

Suicidal
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.
