Suicidal
Kristee Barker
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
I work with clients who experience chronic or recurring suicidal thoughts, especially when those thoughts are tied to trauma, shame, overwhelm, or parts of you that feel exhausted from carrying so much for so long. Using IFS, DBT, and other trauma‑informed approaches, I help you understand the protective parts of you that use suicidal thinking to cope, and we build safer, more sustainable ways to manage distress. My style is gentle and directive — focused on grounding, emotional regulation, and helping you create distance from the thoughts that feel urgent or consuming. Together, we work to strengthen the parts of you that want to live, heal, and feel connected again.
