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.

Gregor Nathanael Schwarz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I provide specialized, compassionate support for individuals struggling with suicidal ideation, self-harm, and intense emotional crisis. My approach is rooted in safety-first, evidence-based frameworks, utilizing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—in which I have extensive specialized training—and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you navigate periods of profound hopelessness. Drawing upon my comprehensive clinical background—including specialized outpatient DBT and post-doctoral training in externalizing problems—I bring a depth of experience in managing high-risk behaviors and complex emotional dysregulation. I work collaboratively with you to develop personalized safety plans, identify warning signs, and build the distress tolerance skills needed to manage overwhelming emotions. If you are struggling, please know you do not have to carry this burden alone; my goal is to provide a non-judgmental, stable environment where we can prioritize your immediate safety while working toward long-term stabilization, emotional healing, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Suicidal thoughts and self-injury impulses often come from parts of us trying to protect against unbearable pain, emotional overwhelm, or feelings of worthlessness. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients gently explore and understand these reactive parts with compassion, reducing shame and building a sense of inner safety. Somatic regulation, mindfulness, and DBT-informed skills are integrated to strengthen self-regulation, improve coping, and decrease overwhelm. Together, we work on uncovering the deeper layers of distress and developing new ways to soothe and support yourself so that these protective impulses become less urgent and less consuming. My diagnostic expertise and collaboration with prescribers ensure comprehensive care when additional support is needed.
