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.

Suicidal
Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
As a therapist, employing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address suicidal thoughts is a deeply empathetic and structured journey. Through a combination of validation, skill-building, and creating a safety plan, I collaborate closely with individuals to help them cope with intense emotions and develop healthier ways of navigating distress. The DBT framework provides a lifeline, offering tangible tools and strategies that empower clients to build resilience, find hope, and ultimately move beyond the shadows of suicidal ideation towards a more stable and fulfilling life.

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.
