Maybe you work hard to appear strong to those looking in from the outside but are struggling and suffering on the inside. Why do we constantly feel the need to pretend everything is okay? Or maybe we aren't pretending but we don't know what to do or how to change anything. Shame, grief, anger, fear, loneliness, and sadness all have a way of knocking us off our center and causing us the lose the ability to stay grounded and feel like ourselves. We all deserve help, we just need to know how to find it.

"Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional" - Haruki Murakami This quote is a personal favorite because it acknowledges that people and events in our lives will cause hurt. The real stunt in our growth, however, comes from suffering. This occurs when we try to force our way through difficult situations or ignore them altogether. Only by truly accepting our situation and feeling our emotions as they were meant to be felt can we overcome the pain that enters our lives. Skills taught in counseling can help do just that. If you are ready to end your suffering, I would love to assist you on that path.

Suicidal Ideation Therapists
How does therapy for suicidal ideation work?
Stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances can give rise to suicidal thinking. Therapy can address the events at the core of an individual’s suffering. Understanding why a person may be suicidal can help the therapist and the patient discover alternative methods of coping. A person with suicidal ideation may be mired in catastrophic thinking, and treatment like cognitive behavioral therapy is a good choice for breaking such patterns. In addition, treatment such as acceptance and commitment therapy can help a person manage their distress through better emotion regulation.

Which therapies are best for suicidal ideation?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual tolerate distress, regulate emotions, and not act on dangerous urges.

Are there specific medications to be combined with therapy?
The use of medication for suicidal thoughts must be aligned with the underlying cause; conditions such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis may be at the root of suicidal ideation. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for symptoms, which may include antipsychotics such as aripiprazole or antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

How often and how long are therapy sessions for suicidal ideation?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. Still other patients, especially those with co-occurring conditions like major depression and anxiety, may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months. In some cases, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm.
