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.

John Perry
Counselor/Therapist, Resident in Counseling, MA, NCC
In addressing suicidal ideation during therapy sessions, I integrate acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help clients explore their thoughts and emotions surrounding suicide, encouraging them to accept these feelings while committing to life-affirming actions. Through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I collaborate with individuals to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to their suicidal ideation, fostering a sense of hope and empowerment in their ability to cope with distress. Additionally, I incorporate culturally sensitive, person-centered, and relational approaches to honor each client's cultural background and interpersonal relationships, creating a safe and supportive therapeutic environment to address their suicidal thoughts.
