Suicidal Thoughts
Psychologist, Temporary Limited Licensed Psychologist
Suicidal thoughts effect everyone at some point in life to different degrees. Everyone has had that moment where they question their existence. Suicidal thoughts need to be looked at individually and processed out loud and in the mind. The individual needs to be able to develop coping skills that help elevate the specific thoughts or stressors.

Suicidal Thoughts
Psychologist, PhD, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was one of the first therapies to treat highly suicidal individuals on an outpatient basis. Because DBT considers suicide as the solution, not the actual problem itself, DBT therapists are focused on identifying the actual problems in order to assist with different, tangible solutions. Not only that, but DBT therapists are able to speak frankly about death instead of tiptoeing around it, treating patients with respect rather than patronizing with whispery tones and “concerned” looks. Within DBT, no person is treated as “fragile” and though the situation may be serious, we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
