Suicidal Thoughts
Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
If suicidal thoughts are something common that you've been living with for a long time, then weekly therapy may be appropriate for you. The limitation of weekly, telehealth sessions exists when your thoughts begin to create a plan and you notice your hopelessness rising, along with more and more intent to act on the plan. While suicidal ideation can be unpredictable, and I am able to support you in finding the level of care you need, if the time does come, I do not start a therapeutic relationship with someone who needs more care than I can currently give through Zoom sessions.
I volunteered as a Hotline Crisis Counselor at Didi Hirsch's Suicide Hotline before graduate school. My skills and technique for facing crises continued to develop through school and client experience.
When you're not in crisis, we'll be sure to emphasize techniques of building safety in your environment, in our relationship, as well as within your own body during and outside of our sessions. We'll emphasize where you feel some sense of hope and purpose and give space for any and all the existing ambiguity.

Suicidal Thoughts
John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, APCC
It's actually normal for people to be inquisitive about life and death - it's the great mystery. If you're going beyond this into planning, and fantasizing about how to kill yourself, pick up the phone now and call 911. Your life is precious, and there are so many connections that perhaps you have lost sight of. The pain will go away and it will change, but it starts by reaching out.

Alethea Gard'ner, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
I see suicidal thoughts as an escape plan when life has become too unbearable. Working together to find new more sustaining and positive "escapes" to lower the unhappiness will be the goal.

Suicidal Thoughts
Miriam Adrianowicz
Psychologist, PsyD
When depression takes over, it's common to feel that life isn't worth living. Whether these thoughts are passive or active, we'll work together to first ensure your safety. I believe the more we vocalize our suicidal thoughts, the more it diffuses them. Or rather, talking about suicidal thoughts does not make you more likely to act on them; it, instead, creates an outlet for these sometimes scary ideas, actually decreasing the felt need for action. Suicidal thoughts are so stigmatized, but at some point in our lives, I believe everyone thinks about suicide in some way -- whether it's intellectually/existentially or from a place of pain and depression. Taking away that stigma and talking non-judgmentally about what you're thinking can help you make sense of these sometimes disturbing thoughts. We can figure out what role they play in your psyche, how to relieve some of the pain they cause, and make sure safety is priority #1.
