September is Suicide Prevention Month—a time to raise awareness, offer support, and remind you that healing is possible. Learn how therapy can provide tools for suicide prevention and depression.

September Reflections: You're Not Alone, and You Don’t Have to Be

Suicide Prevention Month is more than awareness—it’s about connection, compassion, and the life-saving impact of reaching out. Whether you're personally struggling with depression, supporting a loved one in crisis, or carrying silent pain, this month reminds us: your life matters, and your story is not over.

At our private practice, we offer a space for honest, nonjudgmental conversations about emotional pain, hopelessness, and healing. Therapy can help you create a personal safety net—one grounded in truth, support, and hope.

Understanding the Signs: What to Look For in Yourself or Others

Mental health struggles often hide behind everyday routines. Some warning signs of emotional crisis or suicidal thoughts may include:

• Persistent feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness

• Withdrawing from friends, family, or activities

• Sudden mood swings or changes in behavior

• Talking about being a burden or not wanting to live

• Increased use of substances or reckless behavior

You don’t need to be in crisis to seek help. Preventative care—like regular therapy—can reduce isolation and help you recognize and respond to early signs of distress.

How Therapy Supports Suicide Prevention

Therapy offers a safe space to express what often feels unspeakable. It helps you develop tools and support systems to reduce suicidal thoughts and improve overall well-being.

Our approach to suicide prevention therapy includes:

• Safety planning and crisis tools

• Addressing underlying depression, trauma, or anxiety

• Building emotional regulation skills

• Exploring meaning, purpose, and reasons to stay

• Identifying personal and community resources

Talking about suicidal thoughts doesn’t make them worse. In fact, it can save a life.

For Loved Ones: How You Can Help

If you’re concerned about someone, don’t wait for the “perfect” moment to speak up. Ask directly. Offer to listen. Remind them that help exists—and that you're willing to walk beside them as they seek it.

And remember: you don’t have to do this alone either. Therapy for family members and supporters is available too.

We offer therapy for adults, teens, and families navigating depression, suicidal thoughts, or overwhelming emotional pain. Sessions are available in-person or via telehealth, with flexible scheduling.
