Whether you are feeling anxious, depressed, facing a crisis, managing past trauma or looking for a sense of meaning and fulfillment, positive change is possible. I use an experiential approach believing that when clients truly understand themselves, they are better able to leverage their own inner wisdom and inherent strength to manage their lives the way they want to. The work we do together leads to increased clarity, a better sense of self and the ability to manage current and future challenges from a place of strength and compassion rather than from fear and frustration.

Something is difficult. The self narrative or the relationships - personal or professional - are causing a lack of ease and peace and you just do not feel like what you are doing at this moment is hitting the target. Life is never easy for everybody all of the time. If you are curious about the patterns and the behaviors that may no longer be serving you and you desire to be seen in your entirety with empathy and understanding, then perhaps counseling can help you to bring awareness and non-judgmental curiosity to why you are doing/thinking/feeling what you are.

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.
