Erik Stenglein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
Specialties include suicidal ideation support, suicide risk assessment, safety planning, emotional regulation, crisis support, and trauma-informed care for adults.
I work with adults 18+ who experience suicidal thoughts, passive suicidality, or feelings of hopelessness and despair. Many clients come to therapy feeling scared by their thoughts, ashamed to talk about them, or unsure whether they can be honest without being judged. My approach is calm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, focused on creating safety, reducing distress, and helping clients feel understood rather than pathologized. Therapy is a space to openly discuss suicidal thoughts, strengthen coping and protective factors, and build a plan for navigating difficult moments while working toward stability, meaning, and connection.

Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I provide compassionate, nonjudgmental support for individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts. These thoughts are more common than many realize and often signal deep emotional pain rather than a true wish to die. Together, we work to understand the underlying causes, build coping strategies, and create a sense of safety and hope. Through evidence-based therapy, I help clients reduce distress, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with meaning, support, and reasons to live.

Providence is home to Brown University, Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), and Providence College — together generating significant student mental health demand and a creative, intellectually engaged population that views therapy favorably and tends toward longer-term, exploratory work. The city has a large Cape Verdean and Latino community, with a significant Guatemalan and Dominican population that creates demand for culturally affirming, Spanish-speaking therapists who understand the particular dynamics of immigrant family life in New England. Rhode Island Hospital and Lifespan Health provide institutional mental health resources, while Brown's Warren Alpert Medical School maintains important psychiatric training programs. Providence's arts and hospitality economy creates consistent demand for therapists experienced with creative identity, economic precarity, and the mental health challenges of artists and performers.
