Suicidal Thoughts & Support

When You Feel Like Giving Up, Let This Be Your First Step Toward Holding On

If you’re thinking about suicide—or have been haunted by thoughts of not wanting to exist—you’re not broken. You’re overwhelmed, in pain, and maybe just exhausted from carrying things no one else can see.

But hear this: You don’t have to go through it alone. Suicidal ideation doesn’t mean you want to die—it means you desperately want the pain to stop. And therapy can be the space where that healing begins.

Signs You May Be Experiencing Suicidal Ideation

It might not always look the way people expect. It can show up as:

  • Feeling hopeless, empty, or like a burden

  • Withdrawing from loved ones or losing interest in everything

  • Thinking “What’s the point?” more often than not

  • Creating plans, writing goodbye notes, or fantasizing about escape

  • Increased substance use or reckless behavior

  • Sleeping too much… or not at all

Whether your thoughts are passive or active, frequent or rare, loud or quiet—they matter. And they deserve to be taken seriously.

How Therapy Can Help

We’re not here to judge you. We’re here to sit with you in the darkness and help you find a way through it. Our approach combines compassion, clinical skill, and a deep belief that every life has value—including yours.

In therapy, you’ll get:

  • A non-judgmental space to talk about what you’re feeling—honestly

  • Crisis planning & safety tools to keep you safe in overwhelming moments

  • Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapies (CBT & DBT) to help untangle painful thoughts and build emotional regulation

  • Exploration of root causes—trauma, depression, isolation, grief, or anything else underneath it all

  • Hope. Even if right now you don’t feel it. We’ll hold it for you until you can.

You Are Not Alone. You Are Not a Burden. You Are Needed.

It might not feel like it today—but your life has meaning. And healing is possible, one step at a time.
