I am a therapist with 27 years experience counseling both the substance abuse and mental health population. I also have over 30 years personal experience with addiction and recovery. The majority of my education and interest has been working with the dual diagnosed population, (addiction and mental health). Treating both these illnesses simultaneously promotes the best outcome for recovery. I believe those who have an underlying mental health diagnosis coupled with an addiction to drugs or alcohol may be self medicating their mental health illness.

Hi there! I'm Chelsea - I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist. One thing that I've learned across my practice is that sometimes life circumstances, relationships, past memories/experiences - can make us feel stuck. Stuck in our pasts, stuck in current circumstances, stuck in maladaptive coping skills, and stuck in our bodies or thoughts. My goal as your therapist is to create a collaborative effort where we work to meet your treatment goals together. You don't have to figure everything out on your own - I think it's important for us to normalize that :)

Finding the right therapist is important because effective therapy elicits change and guides individuals toward living more fulfilled lives. I am a committed, interactive and non-judgmental therapist who loves what I do and am grateful for the opportunity to connect with clients and work together to develop solutions and reach goals. The decision to start therapy can be difficult and feel vulnerable and yet it is courageous when one finds the willingness and strength to look inward and lean into fear or sadness to remove obstacles that prevent someone from living their best life. I commend you on taking this first step.

When little people are overwhelmed by BIG feelings it is our job to share our calm, not join their chaos. -L.R. Knost. For many kids and teens, even mentioning beginning counseling can feel scary and overwhelming, being asked to share their deepest thoughts and feelings and behavioral challenges with a complete stranger. I recognize this challenge and approach my sessions with patience and understanding. Just as every child and their reasons for beginning this process are unique and diverse, so is my treatment style. I focus on developing coping skills, frustration management, and processing and exploring emotions and experiences.

You seem to have it all figured out but on the inside you are coming apart. It's a relentless cycle of stress and anxiety, where every day feels like a marathon, and you're constantly playing catch-up.

It's overwhelming, especially when you're also trying to find your place in the world.You deserve more than this endless cycle. You deserve a life filled with joy, where sleep comes easy, you have plenty of energy, and you feel in control. Or perhaps, a life that includes brunch and bougie lattes if that's more your style.

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.
