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.

Richmond is Virginia's state capital and a city confronting its identity as the former capital of the Confederacy — a historical weight that has made racial equity, community healing, and the legacy of slavery active and ongoing conversations in clinical, academic, and public life. The city's significant African American community, its rapidly growing Latino population, and a large university sector anchored by Virginia Commonwealth University collectively shape diverse and evolving therapy demand. VCU Health and Bon Secours Richmond Health System provide major institutional mental health resources, while VCU's extensive psychology, counseling, and social work programs supply significant clinical training to the community. Richmond's growing arts and creative economy, rapid gentrification of historically Black neighborhoods, and strong LGBTQ+ community each contribute distinct dimensions to its therapy culture.
