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.

Suicidal Thoughts
Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
Suicidal Ideations (or suicidal thoughts) refers to thinking about or planning suicide – the act of ending one’s own life. It is not uncommon for people to experience suicidal thoughts when they are faced with times of extreme stress, serious injury or illness, or mental struggles such as Depression.
When a person feels trapped, hopeless, or is having immense emotional or physical pain, thoughts of ending life as a way out can occur. There are biological, psychological, social, and environmental factors that can increase the risk of suicide – these factors coupled with adverse life events and a belief there is no other way out can lead to suicidal ideations.
Passive Suicidal Ideation is when a person sometimes wishes they were dead but do not have any actual plans to commit suicide. However, when the thoughts turn to actual intent to kill oneself and include plans as to how to carry it out, that is called Active Suicidal Ideation.
Therapy can be very helpful for an individual with suicidal thoughts. Hopeless feelings can be improved when viewed from different perspectives and a therapist can offer those insights. Support from friends, family, and groups can be helpful for continued connection and encouragement both during and after therapy.

Suicidal Thoughts
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."

Suicidal Thoughts
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.
