For 25 years I worked with over 16,000 suicidal patients on the mental health unit of St. Francis Hospital with my office partner, Psychiatrist Dr. Sunida Bintasan, From observing their common patterns, I created an educational program (for persons with issues of deep despair, hopelessness, depression, feeling "LOST" & "TRAPPED" & "STUCK", and often with recurrent suicidal thinking) called Contextual-Conceptual Therapy (CCT). Combining expressive arts techniques, education, and therapy using "maps, models, & metaphors", it helps clients discover the roots of their deep despair, feeling trapped & lost, and/or suicidal thinking.
Clients come to me often feeling "trapped, stuck, and lost." Initially, they look at the CCT Questionnaire posted on my CCT website (www.SuicideTherapy.com) and. If they can circle 5 or more statements as "True", then chances are we will be a good fit. I offer a creative approach using expressive arts to ask new questions to solve the underlying problem.
As founder and creator of the Contextual-Conceptual Therapy (CCT) model, I and my CCT team have presented the CCT model both nationally and internationally in Ireland, Scotland, & England. Recently, a "Qualitative" CCT Research Study was done by the Research Team of George Washington University, Milken School Institute of Public Health in Washington, D.C.
