My clients have experienced trauma, depression, self injury, suicidality, and impulsive behaviors.
Our life experiences, stressors, and coping mechanisms can sometimes lead us to make choices that can produce more challenges than benefits. I view the therapeutic relationship as a non-judgmental partnership. It is my goal to collaboratively develop new effective ways to manage your distress, improve your relationships, and gain a better sense of who you are.

Are you living in survival mode or on auto-pilot? You may struggle with anxiety, overthinking, and self-doubt. You question if you are "good enough" and often doubt yourself. You might be trying to find which parts of you are "you" and which parts are what you became to please others or survive. Many people feel this way after living through stressful experiences, bad relationships, or trauma. Imagine if you could start understanding the "why" behind your thoughts and feelings and learn the "how" you can get to a place of clarity, confidence, and feeling in control. Your past doesn't have to decide your future.

Mallory believes that at any stage or age, all people have this in common: we have stories and are created for connection. While life can be amazing and beautiful, there is a deep awareness and experience of brokenness and pain — in ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. Mallory believes counseling is an opportunity to enter into your brokenness and to find meaning, redemption, and ultimately healing and wholeness. This therapeutic process requires courage, authenticity, and a willingness to be vulnerable.

As a counselor, I strongly feel that the first step in a client’s healing is feeling safe and establishing a place of security for the client. We as people are most wounded and most healed in relationships and the counseling relationship is the first place where that healing can begin. I believe it is important to gain awareness of how our past relationships and experiences have impacted us on an emotional, psychological, and spiritual level.

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.
