Suicidal
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.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, AAMFT Approved Supervisor
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!

Suicidal
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.

Suicidal
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
If you are having thoughts of ending your life, you do not need someone to panic. You need someone who can hear it. Suicidal thinking is often the mind's way of saying that something in the current life has become unbearable — and that the person cannot yet see another way through. Therapy is a place to say the thing out loud, without performance, without crisis, without anyone rushing to fix it. The work is to find out what has become unbearable and to discover whether there are possibilities that the pain has made invisible.

West Valley City is Utah's second-largest city and one of the most ethnically diverse communities in the state, home to large Latino, Polynesian (particularly Tongan and Samoan), and refugee communities that make it dramatically different from the predominantly white, LDS suburban cities surrounding it in the Salt Lake Valley. This diversity creates significant demand for multilingual and culturally competent therapy, and the intersection of mental health needs across immigrant, refugee, and Pacific Islander communities with Utah's broader LDS religious culture—which shapes community norms around mental health and help-seeking—creates a complex and underserved landscape. Intermountain Health and Valley Behavioral Health provide services in the area, and community health organizations address the specific trauma and adjustment needs of refugee populations. Common therapy concerns include immigration and refugee trauma, acculturation, family stress, economic anxiety, and the challenges of navigating mental health in a city where cultural and religious contexts vary sharply across neighborhoods.
