How can you live your truth and personal authenticity? As a therapist, I thoroughly enjoy building nurturing and therapeutic relationships with my clients. Providing a safe space for adults and couple's to discover their truth and authenticity. We live in challenging times where balance and harmony with oneself and our world can be difficult to master. This results in depression, anxiety and self-doubt. By identifying the false stories we tell ourselves and patterns that no longer suite us, meaningful work can be done to create new stories and healthier coping with emotional resilience.

Each person is unique, in that their upbringing, experiences, and values play a role in making them unlike anyone else. This also means that a person’s story will never be the same as another’s, which can feel lonely when navigating trials and life changes. I do believe that everyone has the capacity for healing, growing, and changing. My favorite part of being a therapist is being able to get to know each unique individual, providing a space for them to process their past, helping them discover their authentic selves, and exploring how they can make changes in their lives to align their future with their true selves.

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.
