When we have thoughts of wanting to die, that it would all be better if we were dead, we really just need something to change, something to stop, something to feel different. Suicidal thoughts keep us focused on a solution, but not the best solution. There are other ways to get the pain, exhaustion, and fatigue to stop. Let's find those together and stick around to experience the change!

Danielle Thurman (Roots and Wings Family Therapy)
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) can be deeply supportive for individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts by addressing both the pain within relationships and the internal emotional landscape. EFT helps individuals feel seen, understood, and securely connected, which can reduce feelings of isolation, shame, and hopelessness that often accompany suicidal thinking. By creating corrective emotional experiences, EFT fosters a sense of belonging and emotional safety. At the same time, IFS helps individuals approach the parts of themselves that hold despair, numbness, or urges toward self-harm with curiosity and compassion rather than fear or avoidance. This process allows those parts to be understood and cared for, reducing their intensity and creating space for hope and self-leadership to emerge. Together, EFT and IFS help individuals feel less alone both internally and externally, strengthening their capacity to cope and move toward life rather than away from it.

Jordan Dye - Prepared Acceptance
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, EMT
In high-stakes service professions, suicidal thoughts are often the heavy, silent byproduct of carrying the world’s burdens for too long. When you are trained to be the protector, the healer, or the resilient one, it can feel impossible to admit that the "mission" has become too heavy to bear. Having served in the National Guard and worked in the Emergency Department, I provide a grounded, no-nonsense space where we can talk about the reality of these thoughts without the fear of judgment or "performance." We focus on identifying the source of the exhaustion—whether it is moral injury, burnout, or unprocessed trauma—and work collaboratively to build practical safety strategies and a path back toward purpose. My goal is to help you move through the darkness with the same tactical support you provide to everyone else, ensuring you don't have to face the hardest calls alone.

Salt Lake City is the world headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and this religious and cultural reality profoundly shapes the city's therapy landscape — with therapists who can work thoughtfully within LDS family frameworks, navigate faith transitions, and understand the particular psychological pressures of a community where cultural and religious expectations are deeply intertwined serving an essential role. The city's growing tech industry — part of the 'Silicon Slopes' corridor — creates additional demand for therapists experienced with startup culture, high-performance careers, and the particular identity challenges of building secular professional lives in a deeply religious community. University of Utah Health and Intermountain Medical Center provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a well-developed private therapy community. Salt Lake City's significant LGBTQ+ population — navigating identity in a predominantly LDS cultural context — creates consistent demand for affirming therapists who understand the intersection of queer identity and religious community.
