Shira Collings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Suicidal thoughts are a common response to being in intense psychological pain and distress. I provide support with safety planning and crisis prevention, as well as exploring and working through the stressors and issues in individuals' lives that are contributing to their suicidal ideation. My goal is to support clients not only in managing risk and keeping themselves safe but in building a life worth living.

Iris Bowen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MBA
Many folks I work with experience suicidal thoughts, so if you are scared, sad, or tired of this experience you are not alone. As an abolitionist therapist, I aim to help you lean on social and communal supports when experiencing suicidal ideation, knowing that for many people--Black and Brown folks in particular—it can feel really scary to discuss these things with a provider for fear of being placed into a carceral setting for forced treatment. I believe in your dignity and right to receive care that is self-determined and consensual.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
Many of us have suicidal thoughts, even murderous thoughts. The important distinction to remember is that thought and acting on the thought are two completely different scenarios. I welcome clients that are challenged with said thoughts and am willing and delighted that we can have such meaningful conversations to get to the cause of and release such depressing and angry thoughts so that we can live a happy, productive, safe, and secure life of joy and sovereignty.
26 Years Experience

Pittsburgh's post-steel identity brings civic pride alongside the lingering mental health effects of industrial decline, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic anxiety, and intergenerational family dynamics rooted in its working-class heritage. The city's medical landscape is anchored by UPMC — one of the largest health systems in the country — and the University of Pittsburgh, both of which maintain extensive mental health training programs and community clinics. Pittsburgh has a growing creative and tech economy attracting young professionals, creating demand for therapists who work with identity, career transitions, and the particular stress of building a life in a city undergoing reinvention. Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and the South Hills are among the neighborhoods with the strongest concentrations of private practices.
