Suicidal Thoughts
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.

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.

Melanie Mosbarger
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CTTS
Suicidal thoughts can be overwhelming and feel defeating. However, it is a myth that if you talk about it you are more likely to harm yourself. On the contrary when you talk about it you release this from inside of you and by verbalizing it you are normalizing these thoughts and can process through more rational ways of handling these deep emotions and thoughts. The various trainings I have completed and the individuals I have served with suicidal thoughts have debunked this myth time and again.

Sierra Dayton
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC
I have worked closely with multiple concerns that include suicidal thoughts and ideations. I have worked crisis cases where clients were continuously suicidal. I have also worked in a psychiatric hospital setting. I have also taken a 3-day suicide identification and prevention training workshop to improve my ability to detect when someone in suicidal and to know when to ask the "hard questions" about suicidal thoughts.

There is a wide range of suicidal thoughts and gestures. It usually starts with a fleeting thought of "I can't take this anymore." It is important to give these thoughts the attention they deserve. Get help now, and reach out to those who love and support you.
