Gregor Nathanael Schwarz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I provide specialized, compassionate support for individuals struggling with suicidal ideation, self-harm, and intense emotional crisis. My approach is rooted in safety-first, evidence-based frameworks, utilizing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—in which I have extensive specialized training—and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you navigate periods of profound hopelessness. Drawing upon my comprehensive clinical background—including specialized outpatient DBT and post-doctoral training in externalizing problems—I bring a depth of experience in managing high-risk behaviors and complex emotional dysregulation. I work collaboratively with you to develop personalized safety plans, identify warning signs, and build the distress tolerance skills needed to manage overwhelming emotions. If you are struggling, please know you do not have to carry this burden alone; my goal is to provide a non-judgmental, stable environment where we can prioritize your immediate safety while working toward long-term stabilization, emotional healing, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Dr. Jessica De Leon
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Experiencing suicidal thoughts can feel frightening, isolating, and difficult to share with anyone. Therapy offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to talk openly about what you are experiencing, understand the pain beneath those thoughts, and develop strategies and supports to help you stay safe and move toward relief and hope.

Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
If you're struggling with thoughts of suicide, you're not alone—and your pain is valid. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can talk openly about what you're feeling and begin to understand the emotional weight you're carrying. Using a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, we work to reduce immediate risk while exploring underlying issues such as depression, hopelessness, or past trauma. Together, we’ll develop coping tools, safety plans, and a path toward stability, support, and renewed hope. Help is here—you don’t have to face this alone.

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
