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.

Also pairs well with our DBT specialization. We are not the type of providers who will hear about SI and freak out and send you to the hospital. We work very hard to reduce the need for higher levels of care wherever possible, while still doing thorough assessment to ensure safety.

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."
