Suicidal Thoughts
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.

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
William Munze
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CPC, NCC
Psychotherapy can be a crucial intervention for individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts. Through techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop coping strategies, and build emotional resilience. I provide a safe space to explore underlying issues contributing to suicidal thoughts and to create a personalized safety plan. Additionally, mindfulness practices can help clients stay grounded and manage distressing emotions more effectively. This comprehensive approach aims to reduce the risk of suicide and improve overall mental health.
