Suicidal
Dr. Stephanie Vaughn
Psychologist, Psy.D., DBT-LBC™
Most people have thought about suicide, but chronic suicidal thinking is something that needs to be addressed. Many therapists actually avoid working with people who are suicidal out of fear of liability. But someone needs to do it and our practice is committed to doing so. Learning to build a life worth living is a premise in DBT that helps when you're trying to let go of "suicide as a solution."

Jullee Capshaw
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LCMHC, NCC
You are not alone and you do not have to carry your thoughts alone. I treat depression by building a positive, supportive, safe relationship with my clients. With my clients, we talk about suicidal thoughts and do not shy away from identifying those thoughts. We talk about the thoughts and the emotions associated with the thoughts. I provide clients with knowledge of challenging and reframing their negative thoughts, while validating the emotions. There is hope to think and feel differently.

Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
If you're struggling with thoughts of not wanting to be here or feeling like things will never get better, please know—you're not alone, and there is help. Suicidal thoughts often come from a place of deep pain, exhaustion, or feeling stuck, not from weakness. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to talk openly about what you’re going through and to begin building hope, safety, and support. Together, we’ll work toward understanding the pain beneath the thoughts and finding ways to reconnect with meaning, purpose, and life again—one step at a time

Wilmington is a coastal North Carolina city that has grown significantly as a retirement destination, university community (UNC Wilmington), and—somewhat unexpectedly—a major film and television production hub, with Screen Gems Studios making Wilmington one of the East Coast's most active filming locations and earning it the nickname 'Wilmywood.' The mental health landscape reflects this mix: retiree adjustment and aging concerns, student well-being needs at UNCW, and the particular stresses of the creative and entertainment industry workforce. Hurricane Florence and other significant storms have left a legacy of disaster-related anxiety and trauma for coastal residents, and climate-related worry about storm intensity and sea level rise is a growing theme in local therapy practices. Common therapy concerns include hurricane trauma and climate anxiety, retiree adjustment, student mental health, creative industry stress, and the identity challenges of a city navigating rapid population growth and a changing economic character.
