Suicidal Thoughts
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was one of the first therapies to treat highly suicidal individuals on an outpatient basis. Because DBT considers suicide as the solution, not the actual problem itself, DBT therapists are focused on identifying the actual problems in order to assist with different, tangible solutions. Not only that, but DBT therapists are able to speak frankly about death instead of tiptoeing around it, treating patients with respect rather than patronizing with whispery tones and “concerned” looks. Within DBT, no person is treated as “fragile” and though the situation may be serious, we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

Suicidal Thoughts
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I support high achievers and perfectionists struggling with suicidal thoughts by addressing the immense pressure they often place on themselves. Together, we explore how perfectionism and feelings of failure may contribute to their emotional pain and hopelessness. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to talk about their feelings and work toward healing, while also teaching strategies to manage overwhelming emotions. By challenging negative beliefs about self-worth and success, I help clients build a more compassionate view of themselves. My goal is to guide them toward a path of hope, resilience, and healthier ways to cope with life's challenges.

Suicidal Thoughts
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."
