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.

Reaching the point of thinking of suicide can be a scary place to be. It is important to talk to someone about it, and to find someone who will help you explore your feelings and make a plan to keep yourself safe.

Cynthia Turner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LSATP, MAC
If you’re experiencing suicidal thoughts, it’s crucial to seek immediate support. You can call 988. However, there is a difference between having a thought about suicide versus a plan of action. Many people suffer in silence, feeling alone and hopeless. Insight can help. Therapy provides a safe space to explore these feelings and develop a comprehensive safety plan. We focus on addressing underlying issues, building coping strategies, and connecting you with resources to ensure your safety and support your path to recovery. We may try individual and family therapy and have an in-house psychiatrist if medication can be helpful.

Dr. Stephanie Vaughn
Psychologist, Psy.D., DBT-LBC™
Most people have thought about suicide, but chronic suicidal thinking is something that needs to be addressed. Many therapists actually avoid working with people who are suicidal out of fear of liability. But someone needs to do it and our practice is committed to doing so. Learning to build a life worth living is a premise in DBT that helps when you're trying to let go of "suicide as a solution."

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.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I believe that many people have had, at some point, suicidal thoughts due to societal pressures. Each person is different in their thoughts, beliefs, and desires. I do not believe in the desire to keep someone alive for the sake of life alone, but rather that it is my job to help someone cultivate a live a life worth living without judgement.

Stephanie Larsen @ Healthy Minds Psychology Group
Psychologist, PsyD
Hi! Congratulations on taking the first step in your journey of caring more deeply for yourself! I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults working to overcome their significant anxiety and depressive symptoms. Sometimes life can beat you down and it can be hard to get relief from the constant negative thoughts. I've spent much of my career working with clients on re-establishing their identity, challenging and changing their inner dialog, and supporting them on climbing out of the dark hole that depression can be. Ultimately, I strongly believe in building a close therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to explore and move past your anxious and depressive thought patterns, learn to support yourself, become more confident in your identity and purpose, and my goal is to help you achieve the goals you've set out to meet! Feel free to reach out and see if we can be a good fit to help move you closer to your goals and relief!

Dr. Bridget Kromrey
Psychologist, PsyD
I have worked with individuals across the lifespan who experience suicidal thoughts, self harm, and who have attempted suicide. I believe therapy is a unique space where we can explore these vulnerable thoughts and behaviors, while creating a space to promote safety, coping, and change. Suicidal thoughts can often leave individuals feeling more isolate and alone. My hope is through therapy, these experiences can feel less lonely.

PSYCHe, PLLC
Psychologist, PhD, DBT-LBC™, 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.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I support high achievers and perfectionists struggling with suicidal thoughts by addressing the immense pressure they often place on themselves. Together, we explore how perfectionism and feelings of failure may contribute to their emotional pain and hopelessness. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to talk about their feelings and work toward healing, while also teaching strategies to manage overwhelming emotions. By challenging negative beliefs about self-worth and success, I help clients build a more compassionate view of themselves. My goal is to guide them toward a path of hope, resilience, and healthier ways to cope with life's challenges.
