Sometimes, we get the feeling that things could be different, but we don’t know how or where to even start. It feels like all we really need to start moving things in the right direction is for someone to listen to our thoughts, feelings, and ideas without judgement… someone to help us clear away the clutter of daily stress and self-doubt, so we can discover what we truly want out of life and find pathways towards achieving a sense of balance and contentment. Sound familiar? I’d be happy to be that “someone to listen and help”!

I am best reached by email. As a relational therapist, I want to provide a safe space to explore the different aspects of yourself and the relationships around you. Relationships are complex, the ones we have with others, but especially the relationship with ourselves. We may find ourselves stuck in problematic thoughts and patterns, which can be challenging to change alone. Maybe you feel unmotivated, uninspired, unsure of your future, frustrated with your relationships, or uncertain about how to address your concerns constructively without the discussion turning into a fight.

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.
