In my approach to counseling, I listen attentively and non-judgmentally. I focus on people’s stories and the stories the world tells about them. I value these narratives, and hold them during our work together so that we may reference them in the process of creating a story that feels more in line with my clients goals and purpose. I also work with clients in exploring ways to alleviate suffering, reduce stress and increase self empowerment and enjoyment of one's life. My approach is strengths based and I believe we each have all the answers we need within us, sometimes we just need help teasing them out or trusting them.

Sometimes things that happened to us when we were young still make it hard for us to feel safe in the world, or to trust others or even ourselves. You might feel that you are carrying around something from your past, and it's weighing you down. There's a saying: "It's not you, it's what happened to you." Are you looking for someone to help you process some of that old pain so you can stop worrying so much, and not be so hard on yourself? If you feel that childhood trauma, unhappy relationships, anxiety, grief, guilt, or shame are keeping you from fully enjoying your life, you will likely respond well to a depth-psychology approach.

On the surface things look normal, but underneath life feels like chaos. You feel judged by everyone around you, and the person who judges you most harshly is yourself. Your relationships with other people feel like they are in a constant state of conflict. You act on your emotions without thinking, or you stuff them deep inside where they can’t hurt you. You feel like something is wrong and that things need to change, but the chaos seems so normal you have no idea where to begin.

Initial trust is not earned; it is a risk. And so, it means you might be a human if you’ve struggled in this. The more emotionally safe a person is, the easier it is to venture into trust, a process which requires getting to know someone. For some though, it comes down to “who is even worth the risk anymore?” Well, for starters, it’s when you can be yourself, feel acceptance and kindness, do not have to fear controlling behavior, and the other person demonstrates honesty and accountability through courage, compassion...and a tad of humor, as the medicine of connection comes in both the oxygen of laughter and the saline of tears.

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.
