Reiss Psychology Services, PLLC
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with teens experiencing suicidal ideation using Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. DBT offers structured skills in distress tolerance that help teens move through acute emotional pain without acting on it. I work collaboratively with each teen to build a personalized safety plan, identifying warning signs, coping strategies, and support contacts they can turn to before a crisis escalates. CBT complements this by helping teens identify and challenge the distorted thoughts that often underlie suicidal thinking, such as hopelessness or feeling like a burden, and replacing them with more balanced perspectives grounded in evidence. Throughout this work, I maintain close communication with parents and, when appropriate, coordinate with other providers to ensure the teen has a strong support system beyond our sessions.

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.
