Nothing is more exciting to me than building lives worth living with those who suffer. Over the years, my clients and I have replaced many life-threatening behaviors such as suicide, non-suicidal self-injury, and addiction with powerful coping skills that ease suffering and build hope. I have been amazed working alongside survivors of many of life's adversities, witnessing remarkable strength even when they believed they had none. So my ideal client is simply someone who wants to build a better life and is willing to make a call. Together, we can take the rest from there.

In practice in Delaware I am focused on offering services that fit for a small group of people who are looking for specific attention for their felt unique experiences. My belief is that every one has this valid experience of themselves and that some people find this occurs with greater ease than others. My niche seems to be connecting with people who feel out of a box, or caught between the cracks. At the same time everyone is unique including my clients who feel more “every day”. In PA I eased into practice and though I then went to open my office to continue a bit further south(Glen Mills) it allows me to seeing people in PA.

Sometimes experiencing anxiety feels worse than anything else. You may feel overwhelmed, frustrated, irritable, worried about the uncertainty of life, and completely isolated from the world. Anxiety can lead to intrusive thoughts, avoidance of one or more situations, and reassurance-seeking from family and friends. Maybe anxiety causes you to obsess over things like-- "Did I make the right choice? What if something bad happens?" Anxiety is uncomfortable, physically and mentally draining, and, at times, depressing. You might feel a complete lack of control and find it hard to cope on a day to day basis.

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.
