Shayda Ewalt
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Suicidal thoughts are often a sign of overwhelming pain, not a desire to die, but a desire for relief. If you are experiencing these thoughts, you are not alone, and there is no judgment here. Together, we create safety, explore the depth of your suffering with compassion, and build internal and external supports to help you move through the pain without facing it alone.

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.

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.
