Suicidal Thoughts
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.

Suicidal Thoughts
Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
Many of us feel pain and when we think that pain is insurmountable and permanent and there is no other way out, we sometimes think of ending our life as the solution. I do not go crazy when someone tells me that are having suicidal thoughts. I simply accept them and start digging into what the underlying pain is about and how I can help the person lesson that agony.
