Suicidal Thoughts
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist addressing suicidal thinking, my foremost priority is creating a safe and empathetic space for individuals to express their emotions without judgment. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and interpersonal therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to explore the underlying causes of their suicidal thoughts and develop coping strategies to manage them. By fostering a sense of hope, resilience, and connection, I aim to help individuals develop a safety plan, enhance their support networks, and build skills to navigate crises effectively. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of ongoing monitoring and communication to ensure individuals feel heard, understood, and supported throughout their recovery journey. My goal is to empower individuals to find meaning, purpose, and hope in life, while providing compassionate support and guidance every step of the way.

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.

Suicidal Thoughts
Melanie Mosbarger
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.
