Do you want to create the life that fits your dreams? Sometimes we lose our sense of direction as we deal with the obstacles that life presents. I will help you discover the place inside you that is wise and whole. Then you can gain clarity, motivation and take the action to change. This process sometimes happens quickly, but more likely you will need time to explore choices and try out new behaviors. Initially, you may not feel comgortable with a new behavior. It is like trying on a new outfit in a store. Some clothes fit perfectly and others may have to go back on the rack. This is a thrilling process leading to growth.

I have the belief that life is a continuous learning process, and each experience has a meaning. However, our minds do not always know how to navigate everyday challenges assertively. We do not always know how to understand and unfold the present; we may have difficulty integrating the past and planning for the future. That is why we can feel stressed, frustrated, discouraged, sad, stuck, or unhappy. But the good news is that life turns into whatever color you paint it. Your experience is filtered through the lens of your perception. We can learn to change the lens through which we observe. What colors would you put in your life?

I believe that one of the bravest and scariest things to do is reach out for help. Many people see therapy as a stigmatize thing for only those that are in desperate cry for help and have no other choice. I can promise you that this is far from what therapy really is. Therapy is about having a safe place to open up and not be judged. It is a place to feel like FINALLY someone understands you and relates to your problems. I want to help you achieve whatever life changes you are looking for while in turn providing the most real and authentic experience.

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.
